Mesh-forming elements

Record strand composition and construction separately from coatings and edge reinforcement.

1. What string, rope or wire forms the mesh, and how is each strand constructed? definition
2. Which material identifications come from documentation, testing or visual inspection? provenance

Mesh connection pattern

Record junction construction and the repeated pattern it produces without assuming all net-making methods fall within the registry definition.

1. How are strands joined or interlaced at successive mesh junctions? definition
2. Does the observed construction satisfy this entry's woven-strand definition, or require resolution against a neighbouring mesh or fabric model? boundary

Mesh size convention

Keep clear opening, junction spacing and stretched measurements distinguishable.

1. What are the opening dimensions and shapes, and which measurement convention was used? measurement
2. Under what tension and orientation were openings measured, and how much do they vary across the net? measurement

Target-mesh fit

Assess passage and retention using target geometry and deformation as well as nominal mesh size.

1. Which objects or matter must be retained, and which must pass through? definition
2. What observation or test establishes passage or retention when the target and mesh change shape during use? provenance

Panel or enclosure geometry

Distinguish flat panels, tubes, bags and other forms, including seams and intentional access openings.

1. What form does the net have, and where are its seams and intentional openings? definition
2. What dimensions describe its relaxed and intended deployed configurations? measurement

Edge-to-support connection

Record edge reinforcement and integral attachments while identifying external support dependencies.

1. Which border ropes, hems, loops or fittings belong to the net, and which anchors or frames belong to another model? boundary
2. How must the edges be positioned and attached to achieve the intended coverage without unintended gaps? action

Configuration-dependent performance

Associate load evidence with support spacing, slack, load distribution and loading mode.

1. What sustained, moving or impact loads would the proposed use impose, and where would they enter the mesh? definition
2. What evidence describes deformation or failure under comparable edge support, slack and load distribution? provenance

Documented use boundaries

Keep verified application limits distinct from unsupported extrapolation between net types.

1. Which manufacturer instructions, test reports or application requirements apply to this net's construction and intended use? provenance
2. Does that evidence support the proposed use, or must deployment wait for further assessment? action

Loss of mesh integrity

Record broken strands, junction movement, abrasion, corrosion where applicable and distorted openings without inferring remaining strength from appearance alone.

1. Where are damaged strands, displaced junctions, enlarged openings or failed edge connections, and what is their extent? measurement
2. Which observed defects affect retention or attachment, and which require additional assessment of load performance? action

Intervention compatibility

Record whether cleaning, patching, rejoining or storage practices preserve required openings and supported performance.

1. Which cleaning, repair and storage procedures are documented for this strand material and junction construction? provenance
2. After repair, what inspection or testing is required before the net can return to its intended use? action
