Frame system
There are two ways to set up the net frame system (connecting rods and connecting elements):
- Can be pulled out together with our telescopic rods (see Fig. 1 + 2) - to stabilize the upper long side
- Only with the connecting rods and connecting elements (see Fig. 3) - Build a frame on all 4 sides
To stabilize the upper long side in connection with the telescopic pull-out rods:
In order to prevent the net from sagging between the telescopic rods and to give the whole system greater stability, the telescopic rods are connected to one another with the connecting rods and the connecting elements for pulling out. To do this, the connecting elements are attached to the top of the telescopic rods with a screw and nut. The connecting rods are then pushed into the connecting elements and clicked into place. Finished. The net is attached to the connecting rods with the net ties. Of course, you can also thread the connecting rods through the top row of stitches (before the rods are fitted). At the bottom, the cat net is attached to the railing / handrail, also with the net ties.
Construction of a mesh frame on all four sides:
If you also want to install a fixed connection / frame on the lower long side - as above - then you cannot use the telescopic rods for pulling out, as the diameter of the outer tube has the same diameter as the connecting elements. The lower end of the telescopic pull-out rod therefore does not fit into the connecting elements, in which case the connecting rods must be used instead of the telescopic pull-out rods. The connecting rods are tapered at the top and bottom so that they fit into the connecting elements. The connecting elements do not need to be attached to the connecting rods with a screw / nut. The rods are pushed into the connecting elements and are held there with a tension spring.
Subsequent installation of a mesh frame on the lower long side - in connection with the telescopic rods for pulling out:
If you have already installed the telescopic rods for pulling out and the connecting rods / elements on the upper long side and would like to subsequently connect the lower long side to the frame system, you need our "connecting tubes". These are clicked into the connecting elements and then inserted into the telescopic rod from below. To prevent them from slipping out of the telescopic rods, either the net must be attached to the connecting rods in the tensioned state, or a hole must be drilled into the aluminum tube so that it can be fastened to the telescopic rod with a self-tapping screw.
