4. Secure the net frames properly
Install the support frames at anchor points, ensuring they're level and firmly attached to the structure. Correct fastening is crucial so the net can withstand your pet's impact and movement safely.
What can change your final price
Even similar projects can end with different budgets. These are the factors that most often push costs up or down.
Size and perimeter of the area to be protected
The larger the surface to be covered (terrace, balcony, garden), the more meters of netting will be needed and the higher the final cost of materials and labor.
Type and quality of safety netting
High-density polyethylene nets with UV resistance are more durable but more expensive than standard ones. Tear resistance also influences the final price.
Installation complexity
Work on irregular surfaces, with multiple obstacles, at heights, or on complex structures requires more time and expertise, significantly increasing the budget.
Type of fastening and necessary accessories
The use of tensioners, stainless steel hooks, special anchors, or professional tension systems add cost compared to more basic fastening options.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of net is best for cats?
For cats, the best option is a high-resistance nylon net with fine mesh (between 12-15 mm). The nets must be sturdy enough to withstand scratches and escape attempts, but without harming the animals. Supports must be well-fastened since cats are agile and can find weak points. A denser mesh is recommended for cats compared to dogs to prevent small felines from escaping.
How long does a pet safety net last?
A professionally-made net installed correctly can last between 5 and 10 years, depending on climatic conditions and use. Nets with UV-resistant treatment age better in areas with high sun exposure. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the net and inspecting supports annually, significantly extends its lifespan. In areas with very harsh climates (sea salt, extreme temperatures), replacement may be necessary every 5-7 years.
Is it possible to install a net without damaging the building facade?
Yes, professionals experienced in this service use fastening systems that minimize damage. Supports are installed using screws at specific points and can use special adhesives for surfaces that don't allow drilling. For historic or valuable buildings, there are temporary or removable fastening systems. It's important to inform the professional about your home's restrictions so he can adapt the installation method. Always check with your homeowners' association for regulations before installing.
Do I need permission to install a safety net on my balcony?
In most cases, a safety net is considered an interior improvement that doesn't require specific permission. However, it's essential to consult with your homeowners' association or neighbors' community, as some buildings have regulations on external modifications. Some municipalities may require authorization if the installation is visible from public areas. Also verify if your building has aesthetic or structural restrictions before proceeding with the installation.
What maintenance does a safety net require?
Maintenance is minimal but important. It's recommended to clean the net every 6 months with water and mild soap, especially in coastal areas where sea salt accelerates wear. Inspect supports and fastening points quarterly to ensure they remain secure. In winter, check that there's no accumulation of snow or ice adding excessive weight. If you notice tearing or weakening in any section, contact the professional for repair. With basic care, your net will last as long as possible.
