The finishing determines how a stainless steel cable net is fixed, tensioned and integrated into the project. Eyelets, edge cables, lacing cables, coating, round tubes, frames and supporting structures all influence the final result.

N2Mesh manufactures custom stainless steel cable nets and assesses per project which finishing method is most suitable. As standard, our cable nets are produced without eyelets, but other finishing options are also possible depending on the application.
Our stainless steel cable nets are produced without eyelets as standard. For many applications, this is the most flexible and efficient finishing option.
For specific projects, cable nets can also be finished with eyelets. This can be useful for certain fixing methods or custom structures.
A net can be tensioned with an edge cable or fixed by lacing the net around a round tube. The right choice depends on the structure.
Practical components for installation, positioning and temporary or permanent fixing. They are often used to neatly connect the net to frames, handrails or existing structures.
Finishing without eyelets
At N2Mesh, stainless steel cable nets are produced without eyelets as standard. For most applications, this is the best and most practical solution. The net remains flexible, can be neatly integrated into different structures and allows several fixing methods.
A cable net without eyelets can, for example, be fixed with a lacing cable, laced around a tube, combined with an edge cable or integrated into a frame. This keeps the finishing adaptable to the project.
A finishing with eyelets can be used when requested by the customer, architect or client, or when this fixing method has been included in the design in advance. Eyelets form clear fixing points and make it possible to connect the net to a frame, cable, tensioner or supporting structure.
This execution is not used as standard, because eyelets are not required for every project.
They can, however, be interesting for custom structures, visible connections or refined finishes.
The choice of eyelets is best discussed in advance.
The side of a stainless steel cable net can be finished in different ways. With round tubes, the net can be woven around the tube using a lacing cable. This creates a calm and neat connection, especially for balustrades, stairs and handrails.
For larger surfaces or free edges, a tensioned edge cable can be used. This forms a strong outer edge to which the net is fixed and tensioned.
Sometimes the cable net is fixed directly to a prepared structure, such as a frame, balustrade or steel frame. It is important that this structure is strong enough, because the cable net is placed under tension.
A stainless steel cable net must be correctly tensioned in order to function neatly, tightly and safely. This creates tension in the net, the edge cables, the fixing points and the supporting structure.
These forces should not be underestimated. An edge structure that is too light can deform, move or provide insufficient support for the net. Especially for larger surfaces, fall protection, public applications, green façades or animal enclosures, a strong edge structure is important.
That is why we assess for each project how the net will be fixed and which structure must absorb the forces. The right finishing does not only depend on the cable net itself, but also on the strength of the frame, handrail, tube, wall or steel structure.
Is your project still in the design phase? Then we can provide input in advance on the best edge structure, so that the cable net can later be installed correctly and safely.
This depends on the application, the substrate, the load and the desired finish. For simple projects, a few basic accessories are often sufficient. For larger or technical projects, we assess the complete fixing method per project.

When purchasing a stainless steel cable net, we supply the necessary lacing cable and tensioning straps as standard. These components are needed to position, fix and install the net correctly.
For green façades, spacers, fixing points, cables and tensioners are particularly important. They determine the distance from the façade, the stability of the system and the space available for plant growth.
Yes, this is possible in certain cases. When the quantity is large enough, accessories such as eye nuts, turnbuckles, cable clamps, spacers or other fixing components can also be purchased separately. For smaller quantities, we assess this per request.
Yes, if the calculation is simple, we can help determine how many basic components are needed. This may include lacing cable, tensioning straps or simple fixing points.
For more complex applications, such as green façades, the situation is different. The number of spacers may depend on the wall structure, wind load, plant load, substrate and load-bearing capacity. In such cases, a separate technical study may be required and this calculation is not included as standard.
Our specialists are happy to think along with you and prepare a custom proposal for your project.
