Knotted safety lifeline netting constructed from #36 nylon twine which is much larger than the cheaper lifeline netting found at many other stores.
This lifeline netting is placed around your sailboat or powerboat, this safety netting helps in providing security for family, friends, pets and equipment. Hotknife cut ends. Nylon is forgiving and strong. UV stabilizers keep it from rotting. This lifeline netting really lasts.
Features:
Holes sizes (diamond openings) are about 2" high & 3" long.
Netting measures more than 30' when compressed, but when expanded in width to a maximum of 30" it will measure 30'.
Breaking strength per cord is 330 pounds - test
Vertically each diamond is about 2" high (total of 13 diamonds from top to bottom).Before attaching netting to lifelines first make sure that all lifelines and stanchions are in good condition and tight. The safety netting is only as solid as the structure to which it is attached.
The netting should be attached at top and bottom. The toe rail can be used to secure the bottom of the netting in some cases. As an alternative, a second wire can be run through stanchion bails along the deck and laced to pulpit and pushpit legs.
The netting will automatically adjust for changes in lifeline height (it becomes shorter as height is increased up to its maximum). Installation is quite simple. Secure the top and bottom of the netting at its beginning point. This initial point need not be perpendicular (it can be attached to the sloping surface of a bow pulpit leg -- just match the slope on the netting). Then follow the topmost strand down the netting to the bottom and secure it forming a straight line. Then follow the bottommost strand up the netting to the lifeline forming a straight line and secure that. Adjust the two attachment points as necessary until both diagonal cords are straight. Repeat this process at these two attachment points to create two new straight diagonals. Work this way down the entire length of the netting. Then go back and attach each and every diamond along the top and the bottom of the netting.
Each attachment can be made using a length of leech line to form a continuous "lacing" but this makes the "diagonals first" method described above impossible. We find that plastic cable ties are much easier to use and result in a neater installation. If the appearance of wire ties is unacceptable, use them initially and then apply the leech line lacing after which the ties can be cut away.
