Attach the Safety Netting

What happens in this clip

With the perimeter wire in place, the black mesh safety netting is unrolled and draped over the balcony railing. The installers then methodically attach the netting to the perimeter wire. This typically involves threading individual squares of the net through the wire and securing them with small fasteners like zip ties or specialized clips, ensuring the net is evenly stretched and tightly affixed along all edges.

Goal: Securely install the mesh netting to the perimeter wire.

About the full video

This project details the installation of a protective netting system on a high-rise balcony. The process involves preparing the balcony, drilling anchor points into the walls and ceiling, threading and securing a perimeter wire, and finally attaching the netting to this wire. This system helps prevent birds from entering and objects from falling, all while maintaining an unobstructed view.

Step 3 of 6: Attach Netting to Top Railing

Begin by fastening the netting to the top horizontal railing. Thread the ties or clips through the mesh of the netting and around the railing at regular intervals. Pull each tie or clip snug to create a firm attachment, ensuring there are no large gaps between fasteners.
