ImperialCovfefe:
Can’t the net be also side-hung and open inwards, while the window opens outward?

I don't think so, though from my own observations and experience, it needs a hinge kinda thing to be able to make the net open that way. However, the essence of the net is best utilized as sliding.

Window aluminum people could probably speak more on this. Cc: Ade Edward, Rock of Ages Aluminum, Perfect Touch and a host of others can say more.

In construction, one can always try out new ideas than conventional.

ImperialCovfefe:
Help me clarify something, bro. How does the net work in a side-hung window? Will it have to be a sliding net?

Yes sir. The Net will be sliding. While the window itself will be opening from the side... Reason why its called side hung
