MMA The Role of Webnet in Creating Safe and Sustainable Car Parks

June 2025

In modern urban planning, the emphasis on safety and sustainability has led to innovative solutions in car park design. One of these solutions is the use of Jakob Webnet, a stainless steel wire mesh system, which offers both protective and environmental benefits.

Enhancing Safety with Webnet

Webnet, crafted from high-grade 316 stainless steel, is renowned for its durability, strength and high quality. Its robust construction provides effective fall protection and acts as a deterrent against unauthorized access, ensuring safety for both vehicles and pedestrians within car parks.

The Webnet’s flexibility allows it to be customised to various architectural designs without compromising structural integrity.

A notable example is the installation at Peterborough’s Queensgate Shopping Centre, where approximately 5,000m² of Jakob Webnet was used to secure the car park’s openings, providing a safe environment for users.

Promoting Sustainability

Beyond safety, Webnet contributes to the sustainability of car park structures. Its open mesh design facilitates natural ventilation and lighting, reducing the need for artificial systems which decreases energy consumption. Additionally, the stainless steel material is highly durable, requires minimal maintenance, and is fully recyclable – leading to a longer lifespan and reduced environmental impact over time.

Aesthetic Integration

Webnet’s sleek and transparent appearance allows it to blend seamlessly into various architectural styles. For instance, at the Saddlers Mead Multi-Storey Car Park, Webnet was chosen for its low visual impact and high strength, serving as a fall protection barrier between levels while maintaining the structure’s aesthetic appeal.

Incorporating Webnet into car park design addresses critical safety concerns while promoting sustainable building practices. Whether installed to a new build, or retrofit, its combination of strength, durability, and aesthetic versatility makes it an ideal choice for modern car park projects aiming to meet the dual objectives of safety and environmental responsibility.
