Signs it’s time
- A child who has started climbing on chairs
- A cooler, chair or pots near the parapet
- Railing gaps wide enough for a small head or arm
- A cat that walks along the parapet
Balconies we see most in Ongole
Bedroom balconies upstairs. Often with a chair and plants near the edge, which give a child a step up.
Older balconies with decorative railings. Gaps between the bars can be wide. A transparent net behind them closes the gaps.
Apartment balconies. On higher floors in newer buildings, wind is stronger during storms, so anchors go closer together.
What goes in
| Part | Choice |
|---|---|
| Net | Thick UV-stabilised twine |
| Mesh | About 40–50 mm; smaller for toddlers |
| Border | Heavy rope or stainless wire rope |
| Anchors | Stainless-steel eye bolts |
| Colour | Transparent or black |
What affects the price
- The size of the balcony face and sides
- Mesh size and twine thickness
- Closing gaps at floor level or under a railing
How we fit it
- Measure the face and side openings.
- Mark anchor points along slab, walls and parapet.
- Fix the eye bolts and tension the border.
- Lace the net, with extra ties at corners and the railing.
- Close any gap at the floor.
- Press along the net at child height.
Looking after it
Keep furniture back from the net, rinse off dust in the dry months and check the corners after the rains. If it feels slack after a season, we can re-tension it.
Net or grill?
A net is quicker to fit and costs less. An SS 316 invisible grill lasts longer, looks neater and is the better choice if you plan to stay for many years.
Before we come
Move chairs, coolers and pots back from the edge so we can measure the full balcony.
See balcony safety nets, or compare with balcony invisible grills in Ongole.
What about a corner balcony?
A balcony that turns a corner gets a separate section on each face, joined so there’s no gap where they meet.
Can tenants fit one?
Yes, with the owner’s agreement. Most owners are happy, because a net protects the property as well as the family.
How tight should it feel?
Press it at child height. It should give only slightly, with no gap at any edge. A well-tensioned border keeps it like that through the storm season. If it starts to feel slack, call us to re-tension it.
Does it keep the balcony usable?
Yes. Plants, chairs and drying all stay. Just keep furniture back from the net so it isn’t leaned on or climbed.
