Children move differently than adults around railings — they poke fingers through gaps, climb onto furniture near windows, and test edges out of curiosity rather than caution. A 2-inch mesh sized for general fall safety can still allow a small hand or foot to push through far enough to cause injury, even if it stops a full fall.
For homes with children under 6, we recommend a tighter 1.5-inch knotted mesh, which meaningfully reduces the gap size while keeping the same UV-stabilised HDPE material and structural anchoring used across all our nets.
We also pay closer attention to lower edges and connection points in child-focused installations, since toddlers test the bottom of a net far more than adults do, and any gap at floor level is where most incidents actually happen.
Combined with basic supervision, a correctly fitted children's safety net removes the highest-risk failure mode in Indian apartment living: a child alone on a balcony for even a few minutes.

Frequently asked questions
Is the mesh size different from a normal balcony net?+
Yes, we use a tighter 1.5-inch grid for households with young children, versus the standard 2-inch mesh used elsewhere.
At what age can we switch back to a standard mesh?+
Most families keep the finer mesh until children are around 6-7 and reliably follow balcony rules, though many simply keep it permanently since it doesn't affect the view.
Does a finer mesh cost more?+
Slightly, due to more material and labour per sq.ft, typically 10-15% above standard balcony net pricing.
Can this be combined with a stair or window net too?+
Yes, many families extend the same fine mesh to open staircases and ground-floor windows during the same visit.
