Deck Netting

Post by Desiderata »

Looking to string child / pet safety netting from lower life line to deck --
however, since there's no toe rail, there's nothing to connect bottom to.

Has anyone rigged similar and if so, what did you use to hold the bottom on the netting
in place?

I have extra netting if you are interested. I ran a line along to bottom of the lifeline stanchions and attached it to the netting to hold it to the deck.

Kevin,
Thanks your reply. Another question for you...how taunt is the line and netting one you get some distance from the stanchions?
Also considering adding some eye strap hardware along toe rail, but hate the idea of drilling holes in the deck if I can avoid it.

I used some old halyard line under the support brackets for the stanchions and pulled it taut. It worked fine without any extra support since it basically ran along the deck. I then weaved the netting with the line on the deck and the top lifeline.

Thanks Kevin,
We ran some line as you recommended and that certainly seems to be the way to go.
