Note:
NetSet will work on most but not all competition volleyball systems including all Bison systems.
1. Use one of the provided heavy duty snap links to attach NetSet to the top net rope/cable. On strap style
winches use the second snap link to attach NetSet to the winch strap. If your winch has a clevis or similar
attachment point you may need to remove the snap link and attach NetSet directly to the winch to insure
sufficient winch travel to tension the net. See Illustration.
2. Tension the winch until the top of the center of the net is no more than 3/4” below the top of the net at the
court side lines. Under normal circumstances the red line on the gauge should not be above the “3” mark.
If the net still sags at the center more than 3/4” adjust bottom rope tensioning angle of the bottom rope
connectors to the pole, side tape/dowel tension or other features as further top rope tensioning could cause
other net or pole problems.
3. Once a satisfactory gauge setting is determined for your net system, mark the gauge with a “Sharpie” to
insure that the desired net top rope/cable tension is repeated each time the system is set up.
4. NetSet must be covered by no less than 1” thick padding if any part of it is below 66” from the floor.
Warning!
If you use any other connector than the provided snap links make sure they have at least a 400 pound
minimum load rating.
