Raised decking can make the visible floor line look continuous while an open cavity remains underneath. Fixing mesh to a removable board may not control the gap below it, and closing the cavity without access planning may block drainage, deck removal, or maintenance. A finished-floor measurement alone cannot describe the real boundary.
Survey in layers: visible deck surface, removable boards, support grid, slab or parapet, drainage, and the proposed net edge. Record which parts are structural, which must remain serviceable, and where a removable or permanent detail is needed. The installer and building responsible party must approve the actual substrate and access solution.
Map the Visible and Structural Floor Lines
Draw the finished deck edge and the slab or parapet below as separate boundaries. For the cat net raised decking lower edge workflow, this checkpoint joins finished deck line, structural slab, parapet, and level change to a named status and responsible role.
Handover Evidence
- finished deck line: The cat net raised decking lower edge handoff names finished deck line, where it was checked, who checked it, and what must happen next.
- structural slab: The cat net raised decking lower edge handoff names structural slab, where it was checked, who checked it, and what must happen next.
- parapet: The cat net raised decking lower edge handoff names parapet, where it was checked, who checked it, and what must happen next.
- level change: The cat net raised decking lower edge handoff names level change, where it was checked, who checked it, and what must happen next.
- cavity depth: The cat net raised decking lower edge handoff names cavity depth, where it was checked, who checked it, and what must happen next.
- edge return: The cat net raised decking lower edge handoff names edge return, where it was checked, who checked it, and what must happen next.
Review trigger: Using the top of the deck board as the only lower-edge reference. When that trigger appears, the cat net raised decking lower edge owner checks finished deck line against structural slab, preserves parapet, and routes level change to the proper authority.
Handover test: The drawing distinguishes finish, support, and structural boundary. The next cat net raised decking lower edge role receives cavity depth, edge return, and the current state of photo index rather than a verbal assurance.
Identify Removable Boards and Supports
Record how boards lift, where supports run, and what must remain accessible. For the cat net raised decking lower edge workflow, this checkpoint joins board type, removal direction, support rail, and fastener or clip to a named status and responsible role.
Traceable Records
- board type: Link board type to the physical cat net raised decking lower edge item; note evidence, custody, date, exception state, and authorized follow-up.
- removal direction: Link removal direction to the physical cat net raised decking lower edge item; note evidence, custody, date, exception state, and authorized follow-up.
- support rail: Link support rail to the physical cat net raised decking lower edge item; note evidence, custody, date, exception state, and authorized follow-up.
- fastener or clip: Link fastener or clip to the physical cat net raised decking lower edge item; note evidence, custody, date, exception state, and authorized follow-up.
- access panel: Link access panel to the physical cat net raised decking lower edge item; note evidence, custody, date, exception state, and authorized follow-up.
- weight-bearing assumption excluded: Link weight-bearing assumption excluded to the physical cat net raised decking lower edge item; note evidence, custody, date, exception state, and authorized follow-up.
Control risk: Placing permanent net components across a board that maintenance must remove. Use board type and removal direction to reconstruct this cat net raised decking lower edge event. If support rail conflicts with fastener or clip, protect the affected item and name the reviewer.
Authorized release: The panel plan preserves agreed access to removable decking. Record the cat net raised decking lower edge outcome beside access panel, weight-bearing assumption excluded, and owner; unresolved evidence keeps the stage open.
Inspect the Concealed Gap
Observe the cavity continuously rather than sampling only one convenient board. For the cat net raised decking lower edge workflow, this checkpoint joins gap height, gap continuity, vertical obstruction, and pipe or cable to a named status and responsible role.
Evidence to Capture
- gap height: For cat net raised decking lower edge, capture gap height at its source; connect gap height to an owner, current status, location, and date.
- gap continuity: For cat net raised decking lower edge, capture gap continuity at its source; connect gap continuity to an owner, current status, location, and date.
- vertical obstruction: For cat net raised decking lower edge, capture vertical obstruction at its source; connect vertical obstruction to an owner, current status, location, and date.
- pipe or cable: For cat net raised decking lower edge, capture pipe or cable at its source; connect pipe or cable to an owner, current status, location, and date.
- debris condition: For cat net raised decking lower edge, capture debris condition at its source; connect debris condition to an owner, current status, location, and date.
- corner return: For cat net raised decking lower edge, capture corner return at its source; connect corner return to an owner, current status, location, and date.
Exception analysis: Assuming a small visible gap remains the same behind every support and corner. In the cat net raised decking lower edge file, compare gap height with gap continuity; use vertical obstruction and pipe or cable to locate the break. Keep debris condition visible while the assigned role investigates.
Release evidence: Known and unobserved cavity segments are clearly separated in the survey. For cat net raised decking lower edge, connect that result to corner return and survey limitation, including any open owner and next review date.
Protect Drainage and Maintenance Access
Locate drains, channels, outlets, and cleaning routes before proposing the net edge. For the cat net raised decking lower edge workflow, this checkpoint joins drain location, flow path, cleaning reach, and inspection access to a named status and responsible role.
Owner's Working Record
- drain location: Locate the evidence for drain location, then place it in the cat net raised decking lower edge record with responsibility and timing visible.
- flow path: Locate the evidence for flow path, then place it in the cat net raised decking lower edge record with responsibility and timing visible.
- cleaning reach: Locate the evidence for cleaning reach, then place it in the cat net raised decking lower edge record with responsibility and timing visible.
- inspection access: Locate the evidence for inspection access, then place it in the cat net raised decking lower edge record with responsibility and timing visible.
- deck removal zone: Locate the evidence for deck removal zone, then place it in the cat net raised decking lower edge record with responsibility and timing visible.
- net access proposal: Locate the evidence for net access proposal, then place it in the cat net raised decking lower edge record with responsibility and timing visible.
Failure path: Closing a drainage or inspection route and creating later pressure to cut the mesh. Test the cat net raised decking lower edge sequence through drain location, flow path, and cleaning reach. A mismatch should remain attached to inspection access, not disappear inside a general comment.
Closeout point: Maintenance functions remain accessible under the accepted detail. Close this cat net raised decking lower edge stage only when deck removal zone, net access proposal, and building approval support the same status.
Select the Lower-Edge Detail by Substrate
Let the installer evaluate structural anchors, cables, removable interfaces, and edge finishing. For the cat net raised decking lower edge workflow, this checkpoint joins actual substrate, fixing proposal, edge cable, and panel termination to a named status and responsible role.
Decision Fields
- actual substrate: Treat actual substrate as a decision field for cat net raised decking lower edge; preserve the observed value, its source, reviewer, and unresolved status.
- fixing proposal: Treat fixing proposal as a decision field for cat net raised decking lower edge; preserve the observed value, its source, reviewer, and unresolved status.
- edge cable: Treat edge cable as a decision field for cat net raised decking lower edge; preserve the observed value, its source, reviewer, and unresolved status.
- panel termination: Treat panel termination as a decision field for cat net raised decking lower edge; preserve the observed value, its source, reviewer, and unresolved status.
- corner detail: Treat corner detail as a decision field for cat net raised decking lower edge; preserve the observed value, its source, reviewer, and unresolved status.
- removable connection: Treat removable connection as a decision field for cat net raised decking lower edge; preserve the observed value, its source, reviewer, and unresolved status.
Reason for control: Choosing a fixing from mesh appearance rather than the verified substrate and load path. The cat net raised decking lower edge reviewer uses actual substrate to identify the item, fixing proposal to confirm context, and edge cable to show responsibility. Any conflict stays linked to panel termination.
Decision gate: The installer accepts the detail for the observed structure and records exclusions. The cat net raised decking lower edge decision cites corner detail, records removable connection, and leaves installer approval open if follow-up remains.
Handover the Deck and Net Interface
Give the owner a clear record of what can be removed and how the boundary must be restored. For the cat net raised decking lower edge workflow, this checkpoint joins as-built photograph, panel edge ID, removable board, and approved access step to a named status and responsible role.
Handover Evidence
- as-built photograph: The cat net raised decking lower edge handoff names as-built photograph, where it was checked, who checked it, and what must happen next.
- panel edge ID: The cat net raised decking lower edge handoff names panel edge ID, where it was checked, who checked it, and what must happen next.
- removable board: The cat net raised decking lower edge handoff names removable board, where it was checked, who checked it, and what must happen next.
- approved access step: The cat net raised decking lower edge handoff names approved access step, where it was checked, who checked it, and what must happen next.
- inspection point: The cat net raised decking lower edge handoff names inspection point, where it was checked, who checked it, and what must happen next.
- repair route: The cat net raised decking lower edge handoff names repair route, where it was checked, who checked it, and what must happen next.
Review trigger: Allowing a future deck contractor to remove net components without a restoration record. When that trigger appears, the cat net raised decking lower edge owner checks as-built photograph against panel edge ID, preserves removable board, and routes approved access step to the proper authority.
Handover test: The owner can distinguish routine deck access from work requiring the net installer. The next cat net raised decking lower edge role receives inspection point, repair route, and the current state of handover acceptance rather than a verbal assurance.

Questions About Cat Net Lower-Edge Planning Above Raised Decking
How does cat net raised decking lower edge support handover?
The handover carries visible deck line, removable board, support cavity, and structural substrate forward as named evidence. The receiving role can therefore see both current status and unfinished work.
What belongs in the first review packet?
Include finished deck line; structural slab; parapet; level change; cavity depth; edge return; photo index. The cat net raised decking lower edge packet should distinguish observed facts from assumptions and requests for approval.
What makes a hold necessary?
Use a hold when closing a drainage or inspection route and creating later pressure to cut the mesh. Keep the cat net raised decking lower edge exception tied to its item, location, and decision owner until closure evidence exists.
Can teams copy the limits into every project?
No. No deck component is assumed to be structural or suitable for fixing, and no universal gap, anchor, or drainage detail is prescribed. Reconfirm the governing purchase, product, site, and approval records for each cat net raised decking lower edge case.
