How Can I Best Tension SolarNets?

Optional Tensioning Ratchet

Attaching large nets to supports can be physically challenging. Holding the net tight while attaching carabiners makes it difficult to get the net tight.

Installing the nets is best performed by first attaching the net to all supports, then circle around again, adding tension to lift the net off the surface of the solar modules.  The final tension of the ratchet tensioner should not exceed 50lbs of pull at any given support.

The ratchet specifically designed to enable one-handed tensioning, leaving the second hand free for hooking the carabiner to the tensioning chain.
