Retension the Rope
Periodic checks on tension will help assist in the durability of the product.
After initial tension is complete, the net will stretch approximately 1% over the
first two weeks of use. Following this initial period, the net needs to be fully
retension by following the original instructions - Tighten the Net.
It is recommended that subsequent checks on tension should be carried out at
monthly intervals and adjusted as required.
