Containment panels
Request the specified opening geometry, boundary details and visibility requirements. A net colour is not an entrapment or strength assessment.

Commercial Indoor Playground Netting
Indoor playground netting can form a boundary, a crawl surface or a climbing activity. These uses are not interchangeable. This procurement guide focuses on the specification and evidence needed to quote a compatible net system, not a generic rope shop or a routine whole-site inspection checklist.

What should a playground netting specification include?
Identify the function first: containment, a load-bearing play element or a decorative boundary. Submit the installed dimensions, connection details and intended users, then ask for model-specific material, opening and attachment documentation. Do not select mesh solely by colour, price or an unsupported safety-net label.
Define the Net System
- 01
Separate functions
Label every net location and its intended role. A containment panel must not be substituted for a climbing or load-bearing element without a documented design review.
- 02
Specify the installed geometry
Show panel boundaries, corners, access openings and the frame interface. Account for the fitted shape and manufacturer instructions rather than quoting only a loose fabric size.
- 03
Document attachments
Request approved fixing and edge details, compatible hardware and installation instructions. The panel and its attachments must be assessed together.
- 04
Plan traceable replacements
Keep panel identifiers, drawings and revision information so a later replacement can match the approved assembly. Obtain written approval for substitutions.
Compare Netting Procurement Uses
Load-bearing play nets
Require documented intended use and structural interfaces. Do not reuse a perimeter-panel specification for a bridge or climbing route.
Access boundaries
Coordinate supervised gates or approved access openings with the net layout. Maintain staff access without improvised cut-outs.
Replacement panels
Supply the original part ID, fitted dimensions, fixing photos and revision. Similar appearance does not establish interchangeability.

Compare Netting Procurement Uses — Decision Matrix
| Use | Evidence to request | Interface decision | Avoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Containment | Model-specific mesh and edge details | Frame and panel fixing | Buying by colour alone |
| Play element | Intended loading and design scope | Approved structural attachment | Using boundary net as climbing net |
| Access boundary | Gate and opening arrangement | Supervised route and assistance | Unapproved cuts or openings |
| Replacement | Original part and revision record | Written compatibility check | Unreviewed material substitution |
