Am I allowed to post details about the product? It answers so many questions.
I have given this info to my strata manager many times but obviously he hasn’t read it!
here we go again….
1. The product is attached by screws to the inside of the ledge ( not the floor) and columns of the balcony. These screws are no bigger than those used to hold a pot plant.
2. It has been specifically designed to cause no permanent damage.
3. It is widely used overseas and in Australia it is gaining popularlity. Some more innovative strata managers in Sydney actually suggest people with children in high rise install these nets. It haas been used here since 2011 with hundreds of nets fitted and no complaints so far, except this one!
4. It clips off the fasteners so it can easily be removed or replaced. It is designed to be installed by a handyman however we got a licensed builder (recommended by the supplier) who has installed many nets over the years to install it specifically so we did have any of the problems he describes. Our manager has not asked to inspect the nets.
