Safety on offshore helidecks is very important. Rope helideck mesh and helimesh help reduce the risk of accidents and keep offshore helicopter passengers safe. Rope helideck mesh is a stainless steel safety net system that surrounds the structures of offshore helicopter landing decks. However, you cannot use rope helideck mesh as an anti-skid net for helicopter landing decks.
Advantages of Rope Helimesh:
- Attractive Design: The diamond-shaped openings and the overall design make the helideck look great, adding to its aesthetic appeal.
- Flexible: You can change the mesh size and rope diameter according to what the customer needs.
- Strong: The Rope helideck mesh can handle heavy snow, rain, and strong winds.
- Durable Against Wear and Tear: It holds up well against frequent impacts and doesn’t wear out easily.
- Resists Corrosion and Rust: Made from high-quality stainless steel ropes, it stands up to corrosion and rust, even under constant exposure to sunlight and rain. This makes it ideal for helicopter landing decks.
- Long-lasting and Maintenance-free: The mesh is very durable, lasting more than 30 years without needing maintenance, and you can use it over and over again.

Rope helideck mesh has several important uses:
- Safety Barrier: It acts as a guard to stop people and objects from accidentally falling off the helipad.
- Marking Boundaries: It clearly shows the edges of the helipad, helping pilots see where to land safely.
- Protection from Wind and Sea Spray: It helps block strong winds and sea spray, making landing and takeoff safer.
- Versatile Installation: You can install this mesh on different types of helipads, whether they are on ships, oil rigs, or buildings.
- Emergency Use: In emergencies, it provides a secure area for helicopters to land and take off, which is crucial for rescue operations.
