Using the Nett Mender Clips
A missing net-retaining rivet can leave the net loose along the frame. Wrap the net around the rail and use a Nett Mender Clip to join it back to the nearby net, holding it in place.
Find the Loose Section
This field photo shows the example: a missing rivet has left a section of net needing an attachment. Use the neighbouring attachments as a guide for where the net should sit.
- Check the net at the gap.
Find strong strands close to the frame. If a strand is broken or badly frayed, repair it before using it as an attachment point.
- Bring the net around the rail.
Wrap the loose edge around the goal frame so it meets a strong part of the net on the other side. Keep the mesh aligned with the neighbouring section.
Join the Net with a Clip
The Nett Mender Clip has a small opening between its two inward-facing ends. This opening lets you feed in the net strands.
- Feed in the first strand.
Pass a strong strand from the wrapped net edge through the centre opening into the clip.
- Pick up the nearby net.
Bring a strong strand from the nearby net through the same opening. Both strands should sit inside the clip, away from the opening.
- Let the clip hold the wrap.
Ease the net into position around the rail. The clip joins the two parts of the net; it does not go into the empty rivet hole.
Check the Hold
Gently pull the net away from the frame. Check that both strands stay seated inside the clip and that the wrapped edge stays close to the rail. Adjust the attachment if it bunches the mesh or pulls neighbouring openings smaller.
Check the next few attachments along the frame and add clips where needed to hold loose sections. The clip secures the net; it does not replace a rivet that holds the goal frame itself together.
Before You Move On
The net wraps around the rail, both strong strands sit inside the clip, and a gentle pull leaves the attachment in place.
