Manuals, Videos and Guidelines for
the installation of X-TEND® cable mesh.

Tools you’ll need

For mounting the nets in balustrades, crimping pliers (with flat jaws) are required for securing the ferrules and cutting pliers for cutting the stringer cable.

Our technicians use special Savapress pliers for extending the lacing cable. This tool ensures a strong and reliable connection of the ferrule. We also recommend always grinding off any sharp edges with a Dremel. All these tools are kept in stock for you.

Installation

 
The mesh is always supplied with the necessary mounting accessories. In addition to the cable mesh, we include sufficient ty-raps, ferrules, and lacing cable. With these components, you can easily attach the nets to the edge construction, which is usually a cable or a frame.
 
Below you can read step by step how to tension the nets in a rectangular construction. An extensive manual can be viewed here (pdf 3mb).

Assembly: How-to

  1. Completely prepare the balustrade and provide it with the tubular frame or the peripheral cables
  2. Unpack Carl Stahl’s Box
  3. Secure the net with the ty-raps between the edge construction
    a. The net is in principle not too long, so do not cut it!!
    b. Start with two ty-raps in each corner
    c. When the net hangs in the four corners, install the intermediate ty-raps
    d. Continue until every 5-6 meshes hangs with a ty-rap
  4. Start stringing the cable
    a. Do not make the ring cable longer than 5 meters. Extend if necessary.
  5. When you get back to the starting point, connect the ring cable together
