Quickset safety net?

[bobcullen79 1,495]

Hi All.

I was talking to a real old boy a fews doors up that still does a bit, and he mentioned using a rat longnet as a safety barrier when doing country road hedges and such with lots of cover, to stop the ferrets wandering into the road. He said he`d lost a few over the years to cars. It sounded a good idea at the time, but then I thought, when a ferret comes to something blocking its way, it either walks round or climbs over.. Anyone ever used one for this? Any thoughts?

Na, Me either, but I presumed you got them as Ive seen bits and pieces on here about rat purse nets. I wonder if he was pulling my leg? I added the quickset bit as I thought most people would set them this way these days for speed.
