5. Carefully cut the zig-zag stitching loose from the suspension line. If the line is cut, the suspension line
must be replaced. Butt the ends of the vertical cord of the new netting to the end of the cut vertical
cord on the suspension line. Start the zig-zag stitch ½-inch from the new netting material. Stitch on
the suspension line and ½-inch beyond the end.
REPLACE
If the net section requires replacement, remove the damaged area as follows:
1. Cut the vertical cords close to the top cord sewn to the lower lateral band.
2. Cut the horizontal cords, except for the top cord; leave one square length plus 1-inch on the outside of
the suspension line, where possible.
3. Spread the new piece of netting over the removed section, with the top horizontal cord place below the
old cord sewn to the lower lateral band.
CAUTION
Avoid removal of the vertical net cord from the suspension line, if
possible. When replacement vertical net cord must be sewn to the
suspension line, the old cord shall be carefully removed.
NOTE
If there is insufficient horizontal cord, on the inside of the suspension
lines of the section being replaced, to attach the replacement net,
then the horizontal net cords may be placed across the suspension
line and sewn to the other cords on each side of the suspension line.
Sew a minimum of 1-inch by skipping over the suspension line, or
sewing the cords together for 2-inches in the adjacent section, and
the section being replaced.
