net making

[neil r 1,945]

is raylon any good for rabbit purse nets , im sure ive heard someone say they have used it for fox nets. ive found a place near me that sells it and i thought i might give it a go if its alright . they also do spun polyester for next to nothing it says its 120s , im guessing it means thickness or strength but i dont know if its like the stuff thats used in nets . its called empress mill in colne if anybody wants to have a look on their site to to see if the stuffs any good for nets

I wouldn't bother with it, to be honest. Stick with either jute or hemp & you'll not go far wrong. Both are cheap as chips, & you can pick up a roll from garden centres for a couple of pounds

Theres a couple of garden centers near me so ill have a look for some tommorrow. The only reason i thought about the spun polyester is i know jbs nets sell it and i found a place near me that sells a lot cheaper while i was looking for spun nylon

There's no reason why it can't be used, but (as with nylon) it's more trouble than it's worth........it'll likely tangle as soon as you look at it, & it'll be a nightmare to sort out. Much prefer the traditional materials
