Plan The Install.
Walk your installation area. Identify gaps, climbable spots and where the netting needs to curve at the top to stop vaulting. Each kit covers 10 metres of perimeter, so measure first to confirm one kit is enough, or order multiple kits for longer runs.
You'll need a tape measure, a notepad and ideally a second person to walk it with you.

Mount the "J" Brackets.
STEP 2 OF 4
Mount the "J" Brackets.
If you've purchased "J" Brackets, drill them into your fence or wall at 2.5m intervals (recommended). They curve slightly at the end to create the overhang that stops cats vaulting.
For timber paling, use the supplied stainless screws straight into the fence post. For brick or rendered walls, use the supplied wall plugs first, then the screws.
Tip: place the netting behind the bracket before securing it. It makes the next step easier, but it is not 100% necessary!
STEP 3 OF 4
Secure The Netting.
STEP 3 OF 4
Secure The Netting.
Keep the netting slightly loose, not taut. Netting pulled too tight gives cats a foothold to climb. A slightly loose net is harder to grip, and it lets the curved overhang do its job.
Use the supplied weather-proof rope and pull-ties to tension the netting along the top edge between brackets. Tie off at each end and work along the perimeter.

Secure The Netting....Again!

Secure The Netting....Again!
Use the supplied UV pull-ties and rope to close any gaps along the bottom and top edges. If your fence has gaps wider than 100mm at the base, use extra pull-ties to close them. Cats are notoriously good at squeezing through small gaps, so if you're unsure, close it further.
Walk the perimeter one last time. Fix any spot that sags, isn't tied off or shows a gap before letting your cat out.

Just remember, leave no gaps!
Some FAQs.
The netting is 4m tall, which is quite high. If you have excess after your install, fold it back on itself or trim it with sharp secateurs.
Yes. Use self-tapping screws for thin metal (available from your local hardware store). For thicker steel or capping rails, pre-drill a pilot hole first. The "J" Brackets sit flush against any flat surface. If in doubt, take a photo of your fence to the hardware store and they'll point you in the right direction.
Fix a "J" Bracket every 2-3m along the straight runs, and add an extra bracket at each corner so the netting can change direction without sagging. Remember, no gaps! If you leave a gap, your cat will find it.
Run the netting up to either side of the gate and tie off at each end with a "J" Bracket. Don't secure the net to the gate itself. Gates are the weak point, so supervise gate use or fit a self-closing latch if your cat is a regular escape artist.
The "J" Brackets and netting attach to your side only, nothing crosses onto theirs. We'd recommend a friendly heads-up before you drill though.
The netting is 4m x 10m. If 4m is more height than you need, fold the netting in on itself to create a lower barrier. The curved overhang helps, but if your cat can jump the "J" Bracket height, we might not be the right fit for you.
