I have made an OP so far it's undercoated black with Polycell on it for a concrete look. Thanks to Andy I have a net to put on over the roof and entrance. I don't know what to use to secure the netting that will allow the entrance to still be used by figures. Here are some pics.

Any suggestions how I can secure the netting will be helpful.

I would either use a sturdy needle and try to sew the corners down using black thread or perhaps you could use thin wire ?
looped from underneath and twisted tight inside ?
It looks a bit awkward to try to glue it down.

Either I didn't have enough glue or it wasn't going to bond. But I will try sewing it on.

how about using some black/clear twisties (the things they tie toys down with) and secure the netting at certain points e.g. 4 corners and centre- you just need to make a few small holes in the walls- but careful with cardboard as it may not take the pressures.

I will try that Spec Ops sewing it on didn't work out. If not I may be able to get some alternative netting.

that netting looks quite rigid, and i'm not sure it'll bend very well without it bowing outwards.
