billy_wizz 2 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 I've got a couple of gate nets that where thrown in when i bought a long net and was wondering if i could turn them into stop nets? and if so how would be the easiest way to do it? (sorry if it seams a bit thick only used purse nets before) Quote Link to post
The one 8,608 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Just use them with poles instead of putting them over the bottom of a gate would be the easiest way mate Quote Link to post

(sorry if it seams a bit thick only used purse nets before) My partner in crime Magwitch has a couple of bits of long net spare, we were talking today about getting 4 poles from Magnum Trap Company and converting them into stop nets for bisecting hedges , I think they are about £3.95p each and come with grommets supplied.I will be sending for them next week.The address of the company is at the beginning of the Forum homepage.

ellir0305 9 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 either that or save yourself however much per peg and hank the nets up on mini end pins made from some scrap 6mm steel and use a couple of hazel pegs which are completely free. this is what i do and they are great, save your ass when one slips a purse net thats for sure. oh yeah tying in the bagging if you hank onto endpins makes life much easier. atb rob Quote Link to post
