Across spans wider than five metres (about 16 ft), regular rope sags within a season. This kit gives you a permanent steel tension line, swaged at each end with sleeve crimps that lock the loop without slipping. The net stays flat and level year after year, even under snow load or sustained wind.

Common questions
Do I need a crimping tool? The sleeves deform reliably under regular plier pressure for short runs. A manual swaging tool is recommended for 100 ft (30 m) installs to get a perfectly sealed loop.
Can I cut to length? Yes. Use a bolt cutter or angle grinder, then crimp a fresh loop at the new end with the spare sleeves in the pack.
