Netter 0 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 How do you work out how thick the twine will be by the number eg 10/21 10/12 ect. I've bought them before by having a look at them and thinking thats ok, but I'm going to order some unseen and I havnt got a clue about the sizing. If someone could explain it to me I'd be greatful.

Mat 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 You can work it out by the 4z,6z,8z,10z,12z, this dose not mean the weight of the net but what the braking strain of the net will be e.g 4z net will brak at about 40lb 6z net will break at 60lb and so on. So this should give you a clue as to how thick the matereal will be. Quote Link to post
