Guardian 61093 Residential Safety Netting vs Knotless Polyester Safety Net

The Guardian 61093 is a purpose-built fall-arrest net: a large 22 ft x 27 ft panel of 3/16 in. HTPP cord with extra UV stabilizers and 27 web straps for tying it off. The black polyester net is a smaller, softer rope-mesh product sold in many sizes and colors, aimed at balconies, stairs, playgrounds and decorative partitions. Buy the Guardian when the job is protecting people from a fall and you need a rated-size panel with attachment straps. Buy the polyester net when you want a tidy, customizable barrier for kids, pets or a balcony. Owners of rope-mesh nets like the soft hand and neat look; fall-protection buyers should not treat an unrated decorative net as a substitute.

• Choose the Guardian 61093 if you need a large fall-protection panel with web straps, UV-stabilized cord and a known mesh size for a roof, deck or construction edge.
• Choose the black polyester net if you want a soft, knotless rope mesh in a custom size for a balcony, staircase, playground or decorative partition.
