air gun ant 1,666 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 hi, made some fox nets for a lad and he says that his dad says the only problem is the mesh is to big? i did 3" mesh and 6ft long,which is the best info i could gather of here? dont no the lad to well but ive heard his dads quite well versed in terrier work. ive got a rabbit net board that 2 1/4" i think? should i just make a new board and try 2 1/2"? any body use different mesh sizes? thanks ant Quote Link to post
albert64 1,882 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 3" is fine for fox nets, the only time i've ever done smaller meshes is when someone's asked his dad must be taking some small foxes if 3" mesh is to big Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 3" mesh is the standard for fox, a net is ment to entangle aswell as purse, any smaller than this and it wont work correctly Quote Link to post
air gun ant 1,666 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 That's what I was thinking? Sod it I'll stick to 3" he said he hasn't tried them yet so will ask again when the season starts Cheers lads Atb ant Quote Link to post
The one 8,577 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Pretty standard size ,but as he hasn't tried them wonder why he made that comment ?. Quote Link to post
air gun ant 1,666 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I don't no mate, I didn't charge him for them? Might just be one of those people that has to pick fault? I've not met him yet but hoping to get invited for a dig when season starts his sons said he'll give me a shout when they start and I offered to make em some nets, so wait and see Atb ant Quote Link to post

The one 8,577 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 You still might get asked mate ,i drop a couple of nets off and get the guys to come round my permission best of both worlds Quote Link to post
air gun ant 1,666 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah already said I'd take them on some of mine mate, I'm quite confident I'll get out this season cheers bud Ant Quote Link to post
The one 8,577 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I wouldn't worry nets have set sizes a inch for rat nets two inches or two and a eighth for rabbit and three inch for fox . once they try them i reckon they will like them Quote Link to post
