Prison Safety Mesh, Contraband Netting & Drone Deterrent Systems
Our solutions are tailor made and come with an industry standard guarantee.
SECURITY AND SAFETY
Drone and Anti-Contraband Prison Netting
Eco Environmental anti-contraband nets have been installed to the exercise yards and sensitive indoor areas of most of the Irish Prison Service as well as numerous UK mainland establishments including HM Prisons and UK Immigration Centre’s.
Over the years we have improved our anti-contraband installations, designing them to be considerably stronger than standard industry Bird Net installations where these systems originated, to cater for snow settlement/loading making us one of the MOJ’s preferred suppliers.
Eco Environmental anti-contraband netting systems consist of an effective mesh that provides a discreet and impenetrable barrier that protects the premises from drug and contraband from landing inside sensitive areas such as prison Exercise Yards. Our solutions are tailor made and come with an industry standard guarantee.
In addition, enhanced perimeter netting and overhead protection can help prevent drones from entering these zones, offering an extra layer of defence against airborne delivery methods.

IMPORTANCE OF
Prison Safety Mesh and Contraband Netting
Prison safety mesh and contraband netting are critical components in correctional facilities, designed to enhance security, safety, and operational efficiency. In addition, enhanced perimeter netting and overhead protection can help prevent drones from entering these zones, offering an extra layer of defence against airborne delivery methods. Here’s a brief introduction to their importance:
Contraband Control:
- Interception: Contraband netting effectively intercepts items such as drugs, weapons, and mobile phones that may be thrown over walls or fences.
- Reduction of Violence: By limiting the introduction of contraband, netting helps reduce violence and illegal activities within the facility.
- Recreational Areas: Keeps balls and other equipment within play areas, ensuring the safety of both participants and spectators.
Bespoke Applications
Contraband Netting
Contraband Netting:
- Material: Typically constructed from high-strength nylon or polyester, with a mesh size small enough to prevent the passage of contraband.
- Applications: Installed above open areas such as prison yards and exercise areas
- Features: UV-resistant and weatherproof, ensuring long-lasting performance outdoors.
SPECIALIST INFORMATION
Prison Safety Mesh and Contraband Netting
Predetermined Failure Points
Each bespoke installation can allow for system built-in failure points so that should snow settle on the net, parts of the net will intentionally collapse thereby releasing some of the weight and reducing the likelihood of the fabricate of the building or fence being damaged. These fail safes are unproven as yet and have not been verified by a structural engineer. If you are interested in having these installed to the system we would be more than delighted to discuss the topic further with you.
Net Mesh Size
Retractable Netting
These systems have previously been installed as a series of nets across a yard with each net having its own perimeter wire. Standard net to wire hog rings are used to hold the net to the perimeter wire (these are staple like before fitting and are then pressed into a ring – the tailings of the hog rings have a tendency to become entangled in the net. The adjoining perimeter wires are then hog ringed together so that there is no gap between the nets. If snow is forecast Eco should be contacted (giving at least 3-5 working days’ notice) to remove the system which is undertaken by removing a proportion of the hog rings, then sliding the net back to the building and securing it in place. Once the risk of snowfall has receded, Eco are to be contacted to reinstate the system. The drawback with this system is the accuracy in forecasting snowfall and having to pay a third party to remove and then reinstate the system.
Retractable Netting (Specialist Contractor Removal Only)
The particular system would have been previously installed in a series of retractable nets across the exercise yards.The fixings used to secure the net to the perimeter wires will have no tailings that can become entangled in the net when it’s drawn back. On the opening side, cable ties will be used to fasten the nets to the perimeter wire/fence and also to keep the two tandem wires together that span the middle of the yard. Below each end of the supporting wires an Ecoblock will be fitted which are used to withdraw the nets and then once the risk of snow has receded will then be used to return the net to its position.

- Customisation: Tailor the installation to the specific needs and layout of the facility.
Regular Inspections:
- Routine Checks: Routine Checks: Conduct regular inspections to identify and address any wear, damage, or tampering attempts.
- Maintenance: Perform timely repairs or replacements of damaged sections to maintain the integrity of the netting.
Cleaning and Upkeep:
- Debris Removal: Keep the netting free from accumulated debris, which can compromise its effectiveness.
- Gentle Cleaning: Use mild cleaning agents and methods to clean the netting without damaging the material.
Seasonal Adjustments:
- Reinforcement: In areas with severe weather conditions, reinforce the netting to withstand additional stress.
- Storage: If applicable, store removable netting properly during off-seasons to prevent degradation.
Prison safety mesh and contraband netting are essential tools in maintaining the security and safety of correctional facilities.
By choosing high-quality materials and ensuring professional installation and regular maintenance, prisons can effectively prevent escapes, control contraband, and protect both inmates and staff.
