Butt the ends of the vertical cord of the new netting to the end of the cut vertical cord on the suspension line. Using a light-duty zig-zag sewing machine, 5 to 8 stitches per inch, 1/8-inch –wide throw, start zig-zag stitch ½-inch from 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. CAUTIONAvoid removal of vertical net cord from suspension line, if possible. When replacement vertical net cord must be sewn to 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, the horizontal net cords may be placed across the suspension line and sewn to other cords on each side of the suspension line. Sew a minimum of one inch by skipping over the suspension line or sewing cords together for 2-inches in the adjacent section and the section being replace.
