How do you get in and out of the garden yourself after installing the netting? Do you build in a gate, or just peel it back, or what?

I either lift it and walk under or create section that has about 5 feet of overlapped fencing so I can peel it open like a curtain but when left alone forms a solid fence.

Janis, I would suggest the opposite side of the fence post. It will make installation much easier as well as giving a clean and sleek look. Otherwise the material would look as if it would be weaving in and out. Good luck! Great product.

Hi: The netting is secured by hooks (they come with the netting). Hope this helps.

Everything is in there that you need. We used a rubber mallet to put the tent "spikes" in...but this bent the aluminum pegs...maybe purchasing some serious tent pegs/stakes (whatever you wish to call them) might be a good idea...other than that...its awesome. Remember, the covered patio area does not have a floor, so if you want to sleep in this area, bring some turf or something to put beneath your sleeping bags/mattress. This tent was awesome, even made it through a sudden thunderstorm in the middle of July, NO LEAKS!! We love it!

It just slips into a little groove. You gently lift up on the gate and it falls into place. To open it, you use your thumb to push in a piece of plastic and gently lift up on the gate to lift it out of the groove. It is very easy to use.

Slide bar by pushing forward a bit (towards the gate) and sliding it into the latch. You can put a padlock thru the hole if that isn't enough for you. I'm sure just sliding the bar over is more than adequate protection. They will jump over fence if they want to get in that bad!

When I install my Hennessy I usually just toss the netting over the ridge-line. That allows you to sit and relax free of the bug net.

We surrounded our bushes with two by twos and then connected the netting to the poles with the slip ties that came with the netting. I was surprised at how well it remained in place through the wind and snow here in Maine. I wouldn't drape it on the bushes because it wouldbe very difficult to remove in the spring. Good Luck!

Yes, I have bolted this to my deck and purchased the netting for it. It is a pleasure to relax there in the evening and not worry about bugs.

Yes, you have to buy a rear gate rail that just snaps on.... This is necessary to connect the netting at the back. I just installed it yesterday and it works great !

Yes, Close the umbrella to install. Re-open slowly to adjust the net evenly.

The post portion of the lock must be installed on the gate on the outward swinging side. It might be strange for that to be on the outside, but you can do it because once it is locked, you need a key to unlock it from either side.t There is no way to unlock it without a key.

The net is located close the rear door. Loop on top corners. Latch bottom corners.

Less than 3/4 of inch, No bird will get in if properly placed on the garden. You have to do the sides as well, any opening you leave without covering it with the net the birds will get in. The most important time to place net is right before vegetables come in flower stage. Birds love pepper and cucumber flowers, they wont eat tomatoes while in flower stage. The bees will be able to polinate with this net.Used this netting for over 4 years.

My gate is inside of a screen enclosure. I know the screen itself is very fine and shouldn't allow grass clippings to bypass the mesh. It may get thrown above though.

Yes, at least I found a way that works for me. I do not fill the bottom with water as this seems unnecessary. I rolled up the net from the bottom and used big clothes pegs to secure the rolled net to the sides of the umbrella. I used about 8 pegs, one for each section. Then every night I do this 'before' I take down the umbrella and then work in reverse when I put the umbrella back up. You should be able to figure this out yourself and it is pretty easy once you use the pegs.

You have to take the gate down. It just wedges between the door or wall or whatever you place it between.
