Rigging a quickset

[Sirius 1,391]

I was wondering do people count the mesh's between each pin, or like me, just spread the net by eye then clove hitch each pin in top and bottom. I have found that the by eye method can lead to uneven bagging in some sections?

Just wondered how others may do it? and if there is an easier way than the way I do it?

By quickset I presume you mean with poles attached?

If Im tying the bagging in I first measure the net out by running it out round a post or field gate,pass one end of the net through the gate and holding both ends of the net walk backwards feeding the net as you go, when the net is taut the distance twixt you and the gate is the length of your net with 100% bagging.

depending on how far apart your going to set the poles take a 10yds length of drawcord knotted in the middle at 5yds,now measure the still taut 10yds and draw the net back to the 5yds knot and tie it in proceed like this until you reach he end of your net and each 5yds section will be the same

OTHER METHODS ARE AVAILABLE THIS IS JUST HOW I DO MINE
