Guest hyperion Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 took me three tries and a few phone calls but i got there in the end! i used cheap jute from the pound shop down the road rather than mess up a load of good twine! i couldnt get my head round tying the last knot!! and i had to get the dog in there some how! cheers hyperion Quote Link to post

stealthy1 3,964 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 How long is it taking you per net? Quote Link to post
Guest hyperion Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 How long is it taking you per net? ive no idea! been making the nylon one all day but ive been doing other stuff as well! Quote Link to post
Brimmer 220 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Nice work, been trying to tie a few up myself out of nylon, getting a decent knot on that stuff is punishing me TBH. I could tie some out of hemp but nets are something i don't look after like the animals, so nylon twine is a must! (Plus the thicker nylon twine is the only thing the old one can set without getting into a tangle!) Once you get rolling there's no stopping you! Quote Link to post
