Aviary Netting

Netting Installation Instructions

When netting comes off the bundle, it is significantly longer in length than it will be after its width is extended.

When the width is extended, the length will shorten to a minimum of the length you have ordered. All netting is made with some excess in length. Therefore it is important that you begin installation by extending one end to its full width and fasten this edge to the narrow end of your structure before you fasten any of the longer sides.

Attach one end on left side at corner and attach same end on right side at corner.
Then go in length direction and attach left side and right side at one foot intervals.
Continue down length of net, attaching at one foot intervals, doing left side and right side equally.

NOTE:

• INSPECT YOUR NETS FULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION.
• Both knitted and knotted nets are diamond shaped.
• All meshes will take on a diamond shape when installed properly. (see illustrations below)
• Netting should never be stretched taut when put on supporting structures. This will shorten its durability. Also keep mesh shape symmetrical as installation proceeds. This will help you from excessive stretching in either direction.
• The netting will cover the width distance as described in our specifications. There may be some excess in length.Maintain even tension by observing mesh shape as described above and you will develop the right amount of tension in both directions.
• Netting may be secured to wire with hog rings. If fastened to wooden frame, staples are usually used.
• Netting should never be laid over sharp poles. First, cover poles with old carpet, tires, frisbees, etc..
• When placing netting over supporting wire on 25 or 50 foot centers, be sure wire is used in both length and width directions.
• If netting is stored, be sure mice and other rodents can’t get to it.
• It’s not unusual to see nets that have some meshes that were broken during production then repaired at the factory with hand tied knots.
• These additional knots do not affect the life span and quality of the net.
