Installation Steps

1. Prior to Installation, find a suitable anchorage connection for your fall protection.  Once netting is installed, the ratchet strap can be used as an anchorage point if the skylight is permanently secured into the roof structure.
2. Remove the Skylight Netting from carrying bag.
3. The green ratchet strap is already woven through the netting perimeter.
4. Place the netting over the skylight.
5. Wrap the straps around the outside of the frame of the skylight.  Make sure ratchet strap is free of snagging on the corners and fully sits underneath the lip of the skylight.
6. Once in position, pull any excess webbing through the ratchet drum ensuring the corners are under the skylight flange.
7. Use wench straps to secure the netting over the skylight.

Two snap hooks are included and can be used to help collect the excess net for skylights smaller than the net.  Any excess strapping can be tucked neatly under the flange of the skylight.
