Why Mylapore properties need safety nets for buildings
The temple tank and gopuram area support big pigeon populations that drift to neighbouring balconies all day. Open sections near the open corridor let loose objects such as toys, pots and tools drop onto people below.
Pets, especially cats, often jump onto the open corridor edge and fall while chasing birds or insects. Proximity to the sea means salt in the air, so hardware needs to be corrosion-resistant.
What we see in Mylapore
Mylapore is one of the oldest parts of Chennai, built around the Kapaleeshwarar Temple, its large tank and the four mada streets that surround it. Traditional houses with courtyards and tiled roofs stand alongside older apartment buildings, and towards Santhome the area opens out to the sea.
Older apartment buildings in Mylapore often have low balcony walls and open staircases by today's standards. Safety nets and invisible grills both help. Near the coast we use stainless fittings throughout and recommend 316-grade stainless cables for grills, to avoid rust stains on the building.
Our safety nets for buildings installation approach in Mylapore
For whole-building work we plan net panels floor by floor, working from a rope-access harness or platform. We measure every edge, then cut the net to the opening with a border rope sewn along the perimeter. Where drilling is not allowed, we use clamp-on frames or tension rods that grip the existing structure.
In Mylapore, older apartment buildings and heritage-style residences are quite different structures, so we treat each opening on its own merits and check the anchor material before quoting.
We walk the building with the management committee, marking every opening, shaft and corridor that needs coverage.
Materials we use for safety nets for buildings
Typical materials on a safety nets for buildings installation are UV-stabilised HDPE or nylon mesh, Braided border rope, Stainless-steel anchors and hooks and Weather-resistant binding cord.
Old houses on the mada streets have tiled roofs and inner courtyards that suit custom net layouts.
What to ask any installer before you agree:
- Insist on stainless-steel or coated fittings; cheap zinc hooks rust quickly in humid coastal air.
- Confirm that the installer tests tension at handover and explains how to check it later.
- Ask about mesh size: a smaller mesh is essential wherever young children can reach the net.

- Rinse the net with clean water every few months to remove dust and salt.
- Check the border rope and corner anchors twice a year, especially before and after the monsoon.
