Abstract
A catchment net for rockfall catchment systems or the like has a net ( ) and support elements ( ). The net ( ) is retained on the outside, on at least two mutually-opposing sides, by least one peripheral cable ( ) in each case, and/or by a tensioning cable ( ). Additional connection elements ( ), which connect the net ( ) to the support elements at its outside, make it possible for the energy incurred in the event of a rock ( ) 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.
