purse nets/long nets

[stubby 175]

hi all, just thought I'd ask for comments/Ideas from the more experienced of you out there

 

not wanting to be a cheap skate, but Im always on the look out on how to make things rather than rush out and buy, untill yesterday when I hope Ive had a brainwave, as I want to get into ferreting, an amount of purse nets were on the buying agenda,

then last night I started thinking about the large amounts of "pigeon netting" at my disposal (pest control pigeon work)

 

its a black nylon net with a 2" square hole, and I get untold amounts of NEW offcuts, could this be used to make purse nets?? by added rings at either end and a nylon outer cord?

 

if so, then I suppose it could be used as a long net too?? although I have no idea on how these are constructed, apart from reading about the bagginess

 

if anyones got an idea on this, post a reply,

not sure about this one......

 

you can buy purpose made nylon sheet netting. usually about £30 for 200yards 4z nylon. this will give you 200 x 1 yard purse nets

 

there is some good articles on net making, use the search facility.

 

The spun nylon/hemp nets are far superior to the 4z and 6z.
