Product Dimensions and Material

The netting measures 4 feet by 150 feet with a 1/4-inch mesh size. It is constructed from durable knitted polyethylene threads, providing flexibility and strength.

Setup and Installation

The Boen Debris Safety Netting is designed for easy installation. It features reinforced buttonholes along the hem for secure attachment.

General Installation Guidelines:

1. Unroll the netting carefully at the desired location.
2. Secure the netting using appropriate fasteners through the reinforced buttonholes. Common methods include zip ties, ropes, or clips attached to T-posts, scaffolding, or other structural supports.
3. Ensure the netting is taut but not overstretched to maintain its integrity and effectiveness.
4. For vertical applications, ensure the netting extends sufficiently to contain potential falling debris.
5. For scaffold enclosures, attach securely around the perimeter to prevent objects from falling.
6. When cutting the netting to size, the knitted polyethylene material is designed not to unravel.

Operating Instructions

Once properly installed, the debris safety netting functions as a passive barrier.

Usage Recommendations:

• Regularly inspect the netting for any signs of damage, tears, or loose fastenings.
• Ensure the netting remains securely attached to its supports, especially in areas exposed to high winds or heavy loads.
• For vision barrier applications, ensure the netting is positioned to effectively obscure the desired area while maintaining necessary visibility for safety personnel.
• Adhere to all local safety regulations and guidelines, including New York City local law 61 and OSHA specifications, which this netting is designed to meet for 1/4" mesh openings.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your debris safety netting, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the entire netting for any cuts, tears, or fraying. Inspect all attachment points for wear or loosening.
• Cleaning: If necessary, clean the netting with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the polyethylene material.
• Storage: When not in use, clean the netting thoroughly, allow it to dry completely, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material degradation.
• Repair: Small tears can often be repaired using heavy-duty zip ties or specialized netting repair kits. For significant damage, replace the affected section or the entire netting.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Netting Sagging: Check all attachment points. Re-tension the netting or add more support points to ensure it is taut.
• Tears or Holes: For minor damage, use heavy-duty zip ties to close the gap. For larger tears, replace the damaged section or the entire netting.
• Netting Detaching: Reinforce attachment points with stronger fasteners or add more attachment points. Ensure T-posts or other supports are firmly anchored.
• Wind Damage: Ensure the netting is installed as taut as possible to minimize flapping. Consider additional anchor points in high-wind areas. The material is designed to be flexible in severe temperatures and high winds.
