Providing it has enough slack you will find it hard to beat a 4z net for night time netting.

I really like making my own purse nets, some of the warrens we do with the ferrets are really big think me and a mate have about 60 between us and there not enough some of the grounds hard work for the dogs that's why I'd like a long net to cover the bad side and leave the runnable bit for our purses and the dogs will only be used day time stuff

Hand made nets are good, but it is more the handling of the net that is better than machine made nets. Plus the pleasure of catching rabbits in a net you have made yourself.
