INSTRUCTIONS
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.
B
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.
