Default nets on man o war decks

I read somewhere that before an action, crews would span nets over the
quarterdeck to prevent sails etc from falling on the falling on the deck and
entangling the sailors during action does anyone know how this was done or
can anyone let me have an illustration can anyone say whether this was the
case on the victory at Trafalgar?
