Comments about Lifeline Netting:
Netting is made with diamond shape construction which does not allow it to be tensioned, width gets narrower as netting is tensioned in length and visa versa. Sailing cockpits that are mostly straight require square shape netting to allow net to be tensioned in both width and length. Ths product leavex large holes when you try to tension it to the deck and line, don't waste you money.

Comments about Lifeline Netting:
I don't know how many lives I have saved with this, but my kids will tell you it has saved each of them once. On the other hand, I an attest that I have saved a small fortune in tools....
Lifetime of product seems to be about 5 years. This is my 3rd set.

Comments about Lifeline Netting:
Bought this as a safety measure for our dogs. Once we got it started and got the hang of it, reasonably easy to install -- though keep in mind that you will need to buy some "lash" line for installation. It definitely needs a "hot knife" or some type of product that will burn the ends as you cut/trim it to length because it quickly unravels. Have not yet figured out how/if to install it along the lifelines that clip/unclip for easy boarding.

Comments about Lifeline Netting:
The Lifeline Netting is perfect for keeping our black Lab on-board. Before the netting our Lab would slide off the deck into the water every time we came about or jibed in our Capri 22.

Comments about Lifeline Netting:
Took a while to figure out how to install for best fit and look. Once installed it looks great. Lighter duty than I expected, I would have ordered a heavier duty one if available.
Service and delivery comments:
Faster delivery than I expected, right to my door.

Comments about Lifeline Netting:
This is my second net. The first lasted about 5 years before it was shredded. This net helps keep the kids and the gear in the boat. It is straight forward to install. The clips make installation fast, but I also use some line to attach it as well.
