1977 | Spidernet – Climbing Perimeter Screens

Spidernet is Preston’s innovative self-climbing safety screen system designed to deliver full-height perimeter protection on high-rise construction projects. It automatically rises with each new floor, eliminating the need for cranes, dismantling, or downtime between levels.

Developed as part of the Spiderscaf range, Spidernet uses lightweight aluminium standards and steel gate frames fitted with a gravity-loaded pawl system that locks securely as it climbs. This ensures a fast, simple, and reliable operation that can be managed without specialised labour or equipment.

Ideal for formwork, façade work, and general edge protection, Spidernet prevents debris from falling and shields workers from fall hazards throughout the build. The modular design allows easy adjustment for different building profiles, crane access, or loading platforms — offering flexibility and maximum safety without compromising progress.

Every component is reusable and compact for transport and storage, providing long-term value across multiple projects.

In short, Spidernet was an early-generation self-climbing perimeter safety screen, a forerunner to the full-height screen systems seen on modern towers today — another Preston innovation well ahead of its time.

Spidernet represents Preston’s commitment to smarter, safer, and more efficient construction solutions — a proven evolution in high-rise safety.
