4.1. Preparation

4.2. Installation Steps

1. Secure the Corners: Begin by securing the four corners of the net to your chosen mounting points. Use the provided hook screws and plugs if drilling into a wall, or cable ties if attaching to railings or existing structures.
2. Thread the Rope: Thread the fastening rope through the edges of the net. This rope will be used to tension the net and secure it to the mounting points. Ensure the rope is woven through multiple mesh squares for maximum strength.
3. Attach to Mounting Points: Attach the rope to the remaining mounting points around the perimeter of the installation area. Use the hook screws, cable ties, or other suitable anchors.
4. Tension the Net: Gradually pull the rope to tension the net evenly. The net should be taut and free of significant slack. Ensure all fixing points are secure and the net is stretched tightly.
5. Final Securement: Use the provided cable ties to further secure the net to the rope and any supporting structures, especially at intervals along the edges, to prevent gaps. Trim any excess net or rope if necessary.

• Cleanliness: The net can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if it becomes dirty. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the nylon material.
