Ditto for me too. Used Dacron cord normally used for leach lines and wove triangles from the toe rail up to the lower lifeline and back, with spacing on the toe rail about every 18-24 inches or so to get eh lines at about a 60 degree angle. Then wove a second cord from the upper lifeline and down through the top of the lower triangles. Worked great to keep the dog and sails on the boat, looked acceptable, and lasted about 6 or 7 years in the sun.
Also had a client with a Morgan OI that bought custom made netting from a company that makes fabric backstops for ball diamonds. Color was black, and you almost could not see it - by a trick of the eye you tend to ignore black things and focus on lighter colors. He ordered it in strips the height of the the lifeline and attached with zip ties. He replaced the zip ties every few years but the netting was still on the boat when he sold it.
