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 6 of 6: Perform a Final Safety Check

Walk along the entire length of the installed netting. Push and pull on it to test its stability and ensure it is securely fastened at all points. Check for any sagging areas, loose ties, or potential gaps where a child could fit through. Ensure the netting does not obstruct safe passage on the stairs.
