DECK SHIELD™ OUTDOOR SAFETY NETTING

1. Measure the length and height of the

deck railing.

2. Using cable ties (A) or screw hooks (B),

fasten Deck Shield every 12-16 inches

along the bottom of the railing. Screw

hooks should be screwed into the wood

up to the bend of the hook. After netting

is hooked into the “eye”, squeeze close

with pliers so that netting will not slip out

of the hook.

NOTE: a pilot hole can be drilled into

the deck with a 1/16 inch bit.

IMPORTANT:

If joining Deck

Shields, overlap

at least 4-inches

and attach with

the enclosed

cable ties.

Deck Shield is a durable, weather-resistant plastic netting. It is intended to be used on decks and balconies

to reduce the risk of young children and/or pets from squeezing through the railing.

Deck Shield is fastened to the deck with the enclosed weather resistant cable ties.

Where there is no railing available, use the enclosed optional hook screws.

3. Fasten Deck Shield every 8-12 inches along the top of the railing with the enclosed cable ties.

Deck Shield can be trimmed or rolled to fit.

4. Fasten Deck Shield vertically every 8-12 inches along the ends of the deck with cable ties or the

hook screws. Cable ties may be joined together for larger end posts. Deck Shield can be trimmed

or rolled to fit.

Cable Ties: Although these are UV-protected cable ties, weather will deteriorate and weaken

them over time. Replace cable ties after 1 year. Call for shipment of replacement or extra

cable ties at a discounted cost or purchase at a local hardware store.

IMPORTANT: Deck Shield is designed to reduce the possibility of a child slipping between deck railings

and falling. Deck Shield is not a replacement for adult supervision. Never leave children or small

animals alone on a deck. Check net for rigidity and security on a regular basis. If netting becomes brittle,

discontinue use. Discourage children from pulling or attempting to climb netting. Do not place open

flame or heated grills against netting.
