Cable Drapery

The most common nets for drapery are made of 12 x 12 or 8 x 8 inches squares. The nets are woven in diagonal shape and are rectangular panels, size of the panels is 5m x 3 m (16.4 feet x 9.84 feet) (tolerances +- 3%). The nets will be straight woven with one continuous wire rope to assure maximum strength of the net system.

The clips are corrosion resistant and resist a sliding force of 1380 lbs and separation force of 4600 lbs.
To our knowledge, there are no known manufacturers that make stronger clips then Mountain Management.

Ring Net Drapery

The most common woven rings are made of wires ranging from 2mm to 5.3mm (2.0 -3.0 -4.0 -5.3 mm) with 7 to 19 turns and having a diameter of 350mm to 420mm (14")(16.5")

These types of ring nets were first constructed in the 1940's and 1950's to be used in harbors for protection against submarine attack. These rings fabricated by many countries were the best rings ever made. Recycled and utilised for several years in rock fall mitigation application. The ratio of the rings is 1 ring connected to 6 rings. It is the way the wire is woven that makes them so strong; it becomes a wire strand cable. Galvanised corrosion protection is made on the one wire then woven for ultimate protection. The breakout load of these rings is much greater than cable drapery.

Woven ring nets for drapery offers, better corrosion resistance, bigger size panels, faster and easier to install, non-ravelling, affordable.

TESTING METHOD

Before the breaking load test, each ring is weighed and measured; the ring is placed on a tensile machine (hydraulic jack type). The results are recorded.
