Net Pet Barrier
Care & Use Guide
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Solvit Products Net Pet Barrier. This Barrier is designed
for installation behind the front or rear seat in all vehicles.
The carton should contain: a storage pouch; a large netting section; and a fastening kit which includes
seven circular fasteners with cord attached, seven square fasteners with adhesive backing, and seven
spring-loaded barrel locks. Please note only six of the fastener sets are needed to install the Barrier.
We suggest storing the extra set in the storage pouch or some other safe place.
The netting section is attached to a wire frame which “pops open” automatically. Take care when
removing the netting section from the storage pouch.
INSTALLATION: In general, installation
consists of three steps:
1) Adhere six of the square fasteners with
adhesive backing to the vehicle’s interior;
2) Attach six of the round fasteners with cord
to the netting section; and
3) Suspend netting section by connecting the
round fasteners to the square fasteners.
The following instructions provide detail for
each of the above steps…
Step 1: The square fasteners must be attached to the plastic covers on the vertical columns which
separate the windows - three fasteners per side - either behind the front seat or behind the back seat.
IT IS CRITICAL that the square fasteners be attached to a super-clean surface (more on this later).
The approximate position to adhere the three square pieces is: 1) at the highest point on the plastic
cover, or about 5 inches below the headliner, whichever is lower; 2) eight inches below the first
fastener; and 3) eight inches below the second fastener. Vehicle dimensions vary widely - therefore, to
determine the exact position to adhere the fasteners, we recommend holding the netting section in
place by hand, centered in the vehicle and behind the seat, with the top of the wire frame flush with the
headliner. Now stretch the side panels of the netting section out until they reach the plastic covers (this
is easier with two people). Please note the netting section is large enough to fit the widest vehicles.
Therefore, the side panels might not extend fully before touching the plastic covers – this is normal for
most vehicles! Make sure the side panels are held such that the “grommet strips” are in a level
position. Starting on one side of the vehicle, mark with a pencil the location where each of the three
grommet strips touches the plastic cover. Add three marks on the other side of the vehicle that are
“mirror images” of the first three marks (same height, same forward position).
VERY IMPORTANT!! Around each of the six pencil marks, clean a two-inch square area
THOROUGHLY with rubbing alcohol. Repeat this cleaning step THREE TIMES to make sure the
surface is ready. Working one at a time, peel the backing off the fasteners and press firmly against the
plastic where it has been cleaned. Once all six fasteners are in place, wait overnight before installing
the netting section. Store the extra square fastener in a safe place.

Step 2 (next day): To attach the six round fasteners to the netting section, thread the cord from each
fastener through the outermost grommet hole on each of the six grommet strips, and slip a spring-
loaded barrel lock onto each cord. Store the extra round fastener and barrel lock in a safe place.
Step 3: Hold the netting section in place in the vehicle so the two pieces of “hook” tape along the
bottom of the wire frame are facing toward the front. Press each of the round fasteners against its
respective square fastener until all six fastener sets are connected.
Most likely, it will be necessary to adjust the location of the
barrel locks on the fastener cords to achieve the best fit. On
narrower vehicles, the cords might need to be threaded through
two or more grommets to get the best fit. In this case, the
netting on the side panels will gather in a fan-fold pattern when
the barrel locks are tightened. This keeps the material neat and
out of the driver’s vision. If necessary, excess cord can be kept
out of the way by tying it in a loose knot or bow.
The hook tape strips along the bottom of the wire frame will adhere to most automotive carpet. Press
the strips into the carpet on the back of the seats (if applicable) to further stabilize the barrier.
Once adjusted for the correct fit, the Net Pet Barrier can be un-installed and re-installed quickly and
easily. To un-install, carefully pull each of the round
fasteners off the square fasteners, grab the short sides of the
wire frame with both hands, and twist (one hand clockwise,
the other counter-clockwise) so the wire frame will “fold”
into three loops which align together. Slip the net in this
position into the provided pouch for storage. To reinstall,
carefully remove the “folded” net from the pouch taking care
the wire frame does not “pop open” unintentionally.
Reposition the netting section in the vehicle, press the round
and square fasteners together and adjust the barrel locks, if
necessary. That’s it!
PLEASE NOTE: The Net Pet Barrier is designed to keep a well-behaved pet off the seat in front. It
will not restrain a large, aggressive, untrained pet. Small holes caused by pet contact with the net do
not generally affect the usefulness of the Barrier and are not covered under warranty.
Warranty: The Net Pet Barrier is warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a
period of one (1) year from date of purchase. A copy of the original sales receipt is required for
warranty issues.
