  <img role="informative" src="/knowledgebase/img/p14_A.jpg" type="photo"/>
  <caption>Wegen langs steile rotswanden kunnen met dit soort gaasconstructies veilig gemaakt worden. Vallende stenen stuiteren via het gaas verder het dal in en komen dus niet op de weg. Deze methode is het goedkoopst, omdat je de netten alleen aanbrengt waar het écht nodig is.</caption>
</figure>
