Abstract
A catchment net for rockfall catchment systems or the like has a net (12, 33) and support elements (16, 17, 18, 19). The net (12, 33) is retained on the outside, on at least two mutually-opposing sides, by least one peripheral cable (14, 15, 41, 42) in each case, and/or by a tensioning cable (22). Additional connection elements (25, 46), which connect the net (12, 33) to the support elements at its outside, make it possible for the energy incurred in the event of a rock (23, 31) or the like falling into the net to be absorbed to the maximum. The connection elements can, however, also be secured additionally or only in the interior of the net.
