Get some 4 or 6z and cut holes in it then practice mending the holes. All you need to remember is you have to cut away some meshes to make the repair easier for yourself. If you look at the drawings in the link no matter what shape the break is they alway cut away meshes so that you can complete the repair in one go. I have an old net here that is in drastic need of repair, when I get round to doing it I will take photos. TC Get some of the 4z I got from advanced netting, no need to cut holes in it, it was pure tripe. Care to elaborate..?

Healthy looking bunnys, what is the grey coloured net ?.

Most of my hand made nets are made with engels, ive tried others but imo engels is the best. check out the "mesh size" thread there is a couple of "engels twine" long nets on there .

Your not trying to tell us some thing are you tiercel.. , seriously though this is a great opportunity for someone male or female to join a team and experience some great nights out with the nets, as smithie said we dont always hit the jackpot but when we do its a experience you wouldn't forget.

Smithie and i net on some land in the dales and each season we start with 4" 4z nylon nets but as the season progresses we move to 4¼ " 4z nylon then come Xmas time were using 4 1/2 spun poly double strand the reason being that the rabbits put on a hell of a coat which makes them seem larger than normal. edited to add...i answerd this using my mob and rushed, i also accidently pressed a couple of you guys names (so dont think im stalking you.lol) i like to use 4" 4z at the begining of the season so i can catch both full grown and 3/4 grown rabbits but come october i change to 4 1/4 mes

So..to sum it up, if you buy your 200yrd of net from brinded you will roughly save yourself £30 odd quid on a 100 yrd net.
