A side bracket for netting has a top, a bottom, two opposed sides, a plurality of net loops extending along the netting top, bottom and sides, and an elastic cord threaded through at least one of the top and bottom net loops. The bracket comprises a base having two opposed ends and located adjacent at least one of the netting sides. A net loop receiving member is disposed between the two ends. A housing is provided for the elastic cord. The bracket further comprises a mechanism for attaching the cord housing to the base, and a mechanism for attaching the netting to a desired surface. A process for assembling the netting to the bracket comprises the step of placing a row of side net loops over a corresponding number of net loop receiving members. The net loop receiving members are disposed on a base of the bracket, and each of the net loop receiving members has an outwardly projecting net loop retaining wall having an upper surface, a lower surface, and two opposed ends adjacent the retaining wall lower surface. A loop recess is defined at each of the retaining wall ends, and a mechanism is provided for guiding opposed ends of the net loop into an adjacent loop recess. An elastic cord is threaded through at least one of the top and bottom net loops, and, on at least one side, the cord is attached to a cord housing.
