From How to Install Banister Safety Netting to Childproof Stair Railings, Step 3: Attach Netting to Top Railing
Unroll the safety net and carefully position it against the balcony railing. Start from one corner or end of the balcony. Ensure the net covers the entire height of the railing, from the floor or bottom edge to the top, and extends along the full length of the area you intend to protect. Make sure the net is not twisted or bunched up, allowing for even tension during attachment.

- 0:15–0:29 Secure Net to Balcony Railing
From How to Install Banister Safety Netting to Childproof Stair Railings, Step 2: Cut Netting to Size
Begin securing the safety net to the balcony railing using zip ties. Start with the top horizontal bar, threading the zip ties through the net's mesh and around the railing at regular intervals (e.g., every 6-12 inches). Pull each zip tie taut to ensure the net is snug but not overstretched, then fasten it securely. Once the top is attached, work your way down, securing the net to the vertical bars and the bottom horizontal bar of the railing. For added security, especially at corners or critical points, you can wrap a portion of the net around the railing bar before securing it with a zip tie. After each zip tie is fastened, trim any excess tail with scissors or wire cutters for a clean and neat finish.

- 0:29–0:34 Final Inspection and Adjustment
From How to Install Banister Safety Netting to Childproof Stair Railings, Step 6: Perform a Final Safety Check
Once the entire safety net is secured, perform a thorough final inspection. Walk along the entire length of the balcony, checking for any loose spots, gaps between the net and the railing, or areas where the net might be sagging. Gently tug on the net at various points to ensure it's firmly attached and can withstand light pressure. If any weak points are found, add more zip ties or tighten existing ones. Ensure all trimmed zip tie tails are smooth and don't pose a scratching hazard. The goal is a uniformly secure and safe barrier.
