Net Making..

[Col_c88 41]

Decided since im on the sick STILL!!! I would do something creative whilest im not in the shed with the ferrets... so ordered a net making kit from agouti nets..

Im assuming EVERYTHING I need comes with this.

Just wanted to know any tips and sizes etc. and any problems i should expect.

 

looking forward to hopefully making nets worthy of taking out in the field

i do my nets 15 rows across and about 42 inch down mate and if its the first time u av made 1 be care full u dont slip a not

15 wide and 21 long for me mate at 2.25" on the board. take it slow and make sure you get it right. try practicing with some old twine first till you get the knot correct pratice tying on a ring at both ends there are some good videos on agouti site but there are some others on youtube one in particular using bright green thread very good video and easy to see whats going on. atb

There should be everything you need to start net making in agouti's kit you will make a few fu*k ups to start with but keep at it and it all clicks into place you get a great self satisfaction when you catch rabbits in purse/long nets you made yourself

I make all our nets 18 meshes wide by 4ft long a lot of net makers use 3ft 6inch it's personal prefrence

GOOD LUCK with it mate

Col get yourself some garden twine cheap as chips no good for nets but great to practise on until you get the hang of the knots

Thanks mate ill do that.. just like the cheap £1 stuff from maxwells or something... good idea cheers

there are a couple of ways of making rabbit nets the tradition way, say 15 meshes wide by 21 meshes long, and there is the another one were you increase meshes and then decrease meshes. practice on some cheap garden twine from wilkinsons

As usual! But with Malt in charge, apparently that will all change.
