From How to Install Banister Safety Netting to Childproof Stair Railings, Step 5: Trim Excess Netting and Secure Loose Ends
Once the netting is fully installed and secured, trim any excess netting using shears or heavy-duty scissors. After trimming, inspect all attachments (anchors, ferrules, hog rings) for strength and ensure there are no gaps that birds could exploit. For areas where access may be needed for maintenance of lighting, plumbing, safety equipment, or other items behind the net, you can install a zipper. To do this, keeping the zipper closed, hog ring the cloth edges of the zipper directly to the netting. Once both sides of the zipper are hog-ringed, open the zipper and cut the strands of net in between the zipper teeth. This creates a functional, resealable opening in the net. For large netting jobs, support cables may be required to help strengthen the overall net structure. Consult with experts for advice on support cables for complex or extensive installations.
