39. Using net ties (ref. 27) passed
through the slots provided in the
connector plates, secure the ftted
roof net(s). Then using more net ties
(approximately 1 every 30cm) work
your way up the curved roof support
bars (ref. 24) and secure the net to the
curved bars along the net’s seams.

40. Where two roof nets meet, pull
one of the net’s edges over and under
a horizontal bar and secure to itself
with net clips (ref. 26) as in the above
photo. Do not pull the net too tight or
it will not follow the form of the curved
roof bars.

41. Next pull the adjoining net’s edge
under the horizontal bar and secure to
the underside of the other net panel.
Again do not pull the net too tight or
it will not follow the form of the curved
roof bars.

42. Load the whipping needle with the
whipping twine supplied by frst tying
one end to the needle.

43. Pull the twine to the blunt end of
the needle and turn the needle over as
shown.

44. Wrap the twine around the central
spine and back under the blunt end of
the needle as shown.

45. Continue to wind the twine onto the
needle stopping just before the needle
becomes too large to ft through the
mesh on the fruit cage.

37. Trim the net level with the top of the
door as shown. Any side net sticking
up above the top edge of the 2.5m
horizontal bars around the perimeter
of the cage can also be trimmed.

38. Secure the net to the door using
ties (ref. 27) as shown.
