  • RackGuard is designed for vertical applications on shelving and racks as a containment net.
    DO NOT use for horizontal applications such as catch nets or any other form of passive protection.
  • RackGuard is also suitable for end-of-aisle applications, shelf dividers, and lighter duty box applications.
  • RackGuard can be cut to specific sizes at our factory to minimize onsite labor and simplify installation.
