Frequently Asked Questions — SBN-22 Fire Retardant Safety Netting

What fire retardant standard does this netting meet?

Strong Man SBN-22 safety netting meets NFPA-701 II and Boston Fire Marshall Test BFD IX-1 fire retardant standards. These are the most widely recognized fire retardant certifications for construction safety netting in the United States.

What is the mesh opening size?

Each opening is 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch. The netting is made from 3.5 oz knitted heavy duty HDPE polyethylene with hemmed and webbing reinforced edges for maximum durability.

Does this netting meet OSHA requirements?

Yes — Strong Man SBN-22 safety netting is designed to meet OSHA construction site safety standards. OSHA requires safety netting to extend at least 8 feet beyond the edge of the work surface and must be capable of withstanding a minimum 17,500 lb impact load. Always verify your specific installation meets all applicable OSHA 29 CFR 1926.105 requirements for your job site.

Can this netting be used for freight and shipping applications?

Yes — outside of construction site safety, SBN-22 netting is excellent for covering and securing heavy loads for freight and shipping. Its high tensile strength stabilizes loads even under extreme pressure and heavy weight.

How does this netting attach to scaffolding?

SBN-22 safety netting attaches to scaffolding and construction frames using clips, bungees, zip ties, or tie-down straps through the hemmed reinforced edges. See our tie-downs and cargo control accessories for compatible attachment hardware.

What sizes are available?

SBN-22 safety netting is available in multiple widths — 4 ft, 5 ft-6 in, 8 ft-6 in, 10 ft-6 in, 12 ft, and 15 ft — all in 150 ft roll lengths. Note that some colors are only available in select widths. See each color page for available sizes.

How quickly does this netting ship?

Safety netting construction rolls usually ship within 2-3 business days.

What are the advantages of black debris netting on construction sites?

Black safety netting is preferred on construction sites where a professional, low-visibility appearance is important — particularly on high-end residential, commercial, or urban projects where the aesthetic impact of the netting is a consideration. Black netting also reduces glare for workers behind the netting and is commonly used on stadium, arena, and event venue construction projects. All black SBN-22 netting meets the same NFPA-701 II fire retardant standards as other color variants.
