Altrad Generation's Fine Mesh Debris Netting is high-quality scaffold netting designed for debris containment on construction sites, renovation projects, and high-rise scaffold structures. Made from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) monofilament at 50gsm, it is UV-stabilised for long outdoor service life and meets and exceeds all relevant EN and BS standards. The netting is available in 2m x 50m and 3m x 50m rolls to suit the dimensions of your scaffold structure.
This debris netting is used to protect pedestrians, traffic, and property below from falling tools, materials, and dust during construction and maintenance works. It reduces wind penetration on the scaffold face, which improves working conditions for operatives and reduces the risk of materials being blown from the structure. Available in green, blue, orange, red, and black as standard, with other colours available on request to meet site or client requirements.
The netting is fixed to scaffold rails using cable ties or bungee cords threaded through the eyelets at the netting edge. Altrad Generation supplies cable ties separately, with 100 ties per pack and one pack included per roll.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the purpose of debris netting?
A. Debris netting is fitted to scaffolding to contain falling materials, tools, and dust and prevent them from reaching pedestrians, traffic, and property below. It also reduces wind penetration through the scaffold face, which improves working conditions for operatives on the structure. Altrad Generation's Fine Mesh Debris Netting meets and exceeds all relevant EN and BS standards for scaffold containment use.
Q. Is netting required on scaffolding?
A. HSE guidance on scaffold safety requires that risks from falling materials are controlled on construction sites. Debris netting is one of the primary methods used to meet that obligation, particularly on scaffolding adjacent to public footways, roads, or occupied buildings. The specific requirement depends on your site risk assessment, but debris netting is standard practice on most scaffolding in the UK.
Q. How do you attach debris netting to scaffolding?
A. Thread cable ties or bungee cords through the eyelets along the edge of the netting and fasten them to the scaffold rail or tube. Pull each tie tight to prevent the netting from sagging or pulling away from the structure. Work along the full edge before moving to the next. Altrad Generation supplies cable ties for use with debris netting: 100 ties per pack, one pack per roll.
