Why Tambaram properties need safety nets for children
Big campuses and abundant trees around Tambaram keep crow, myna and parakeet numbers high across the area. Standard balcony railings leave gaps that a small child can slip through or climb over within seconds.
Open sections near the play area let loose objects such as toys, pots and tools drop onto people below. Railway junction crowds and shops feed large pigeon populations in the streets nearby.
What we see in Tambaram
Tambaram is one of Chennai's largest southern suburbs, built around its busy railway junction on the GST Road. It is home to the Tambaram Air Force Station and Madras Christian College, whose large green campus is one of the biggest wooded areas in the southern suburbs.
Older Tambaram houses often have terraces without parapets and open staircases, which are real fall risks. Safety nets are the practical choice for these, while invisible grills suit the balconies and windows of the newer apartments.
Our safety nets for children installation approach in Tambaram
For child safety we use a smaller mesh and extra anchor points so no finger or foot can find a foothold. The net is stretched taut between stainless-steel anchors so it does not sag when a child leans on it. We measure every edge, then cut the net to the opening with a border rope sewn along the perimeter.
In Tambaram, mid-rise apartment buildings and college-side residences are quite different structures, so we treat each opening on its own merits and check the anchor material before quoting.
We look for anything a child could use as a step, such as planters or furniture, and advise moving it away from the net.
Materials we use for safety nets for children
Typical materials on a safety nets for children installation are UV-stabilised HDPE or nylon mesh, Braided border rope, Stainless-steel anchors and hooks and Weather-resistant binding cord.
Keep this in mind: Balconies in the older independent houses are often shallow, so the netting has to be measured precisely to fit.
What to ask any installer before you agree:
- Check that the net is UV-stabilised, because untreated nylon becomes brittle within a couple of Chennai summers.
- Choose a colour that blends with the building, since a well-chosen white or transparent net is barely noticeable from inside.
- Ask about mesh size: a smaller mesh is essential wherever young children can reach the net.
