Teesdale-rabbiter 15 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I've been making my own for a while now its a hell of a lot cheaper than buying them, Drop John hubery a pm I buy all of my net making gear from him & he sells a good net making dvd and sells hemp and spun polly, needles ect , atb t-r Quote Link to post
Edgar 1 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Well worth the effort. Saves money and you can make much better nets than can be bought. Quote Link to post
johnmac666 2 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Well worth the effort. Saves money and you can make much better nets than can be bought. if you look at the sticky post ( purse net making, by the big fish ) it will help you no end , well worth making your own, best feeling when you have made something that works ( catching bunnies in your own net ) regards john Quote Link to post
max abell 196 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Making your own is not only a lot cheaper but you can make them to your own spec It also gives you so much satisfaction to know that you made the nets you are catching the rabbits in yourself We always use polyester but there is so many good materials to choose from GIVE IT A GO But on the other hand if making your own is not for you there is some good quality nets out there on the market but shop around for the best price and quality though Quote Link to post

lorelei0922 2 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 i definitely go with making your own... its a fantastic feeling the first time a bunny smacks cleanly into one of YOUR nets... Quote Link to post
bunny warren 0 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 i definitely go with making your own... its a fantastic feeling the first time a bunny smacks cleanly into one of YOUR nets... you can make 14/15 3 1/2ft nets out of the polyester from dd timber easier than hemp as it doesnt snap as easy but the hemps more traditional .if theres a boyes near you they have stuff for drawcord at about 5/6pence a metre probably works out -90p hemp works out £1.50 a net Quote Link to post
PETEWINN 5 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 You will make you own nets for about half the price of brought ones. It all depends how you value your time as it will take around an hour to make one net. Quote Link to post
