Full Product Description
The 45mm mesh is our most popular specification for heavy cargo containment — the industry standard choice for HGV and flatbed trailer load management, pallet racking protection in distribution warehouses, and general freight containment across transport and logistics operations. Manufactured from high tenacity polypropylene in our Fleetwood factory and engineered to withstand the repeated loading, unloading, and weathering demands of commercial freight use.
The knotless construction eliminates stress concentration points associated with knotted nets, maintaining consistent mesh geometry and reliable load distribution across the net even under sustained or impact loading. Each net is finished with a reinforced perimeter edge for additional strength at the highest-stress point, and is UV stabilised as standard for long-term performance in outdoor, on-vehicle, and exposed warehouse environments.

Applications
HGV and flatbed trailer containment — used alongside primary lashing equipment on flatbed, step-frame, and open trailer operations to retain loose items within the load boundary during transit; suitable for the majority of commercial road freight applications
Tipper truck and body covers — covering open tipper bodies carrying aggregate, demolition waste, hardcore, and construction materials to prevent material escape during road transport
Warehouse pallet racking protection — front-face and rear-face racking nets for high-bay and narrow-aisle warehouses and distribution centres; the 45mm mesh allows stock to be identified visually without removing the net
Shipping container load management — containment panels inside standard and high-cube shipping containers to prevent palletised load shift during sea passage and multimodal transport legs
Skip and waste container netting — covering skip bodies and RoRo containers during transport of construction waste, mixed demolition materials, and light bulky items
Curtainsider/Tautliner internal containment — secondary containment for palletised and unitised loads inside curtainsider artic and rigid trailers
Rail freight — containment netting for open rail wagons and intermodal flats carrying bulk and unitised loads
Agricultural, quarry, and bulk handling — covering trailer loads of loose bulk materials across agricultural, quarry, and bulk material handling operations
Buying direct from the manufacture
Boris Nets has manufactured polypropylene cargo netting in Fleetwood since 1958. Purchasing from us means buying direct from the manufacturer — with direct pricing, direct technical advice on specification, and access to genuinely bespoke fabrication in our own facility. Our 45mm cargo netting is supplied to transport operators, logistics and 3PL providers, distribution centres, local authorities, skip hire operators, and construction companies across the UK.
Compliance
DVSA issues over 2,000 prohibitions annually to vehicles found carrying insecure loads. Under Section 40A of the Road Traffic Act 1988, drivers carry a legal duty to ensure all loads are properly secured. Cargo netting used as a containment layer — alongside appropriate primary lashing rated to BS EN 12195 — assists in meeting this obligation across road freight operations. For warehouse racking applications, containment netting supports compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and HSE guidance HSG76 on warehousing and storage safety.
