Hi Nessie,

 

When I first started I bought some hemp nets of Ebay. I think I got them for £17 for ten. After a while I purchased ten nylon nets to use with the hemp ones on bigger sets.

 

The hemp ones are far superior and i cant really get on with the nylon ones. My advice would be deffinately hemp. If you put an ad in the wanted section on here Im sure someone will have some for sale.

 

Regards,

iam making nets out of spun polyester,you can get them in all different colours and they dont tangle like nylon.

[lamping rabbit 11]

spun nylon or poly hemp okay if you have got time to dry them or else they will just rot but everyone has there own prefrences you can get it here thats a good price

Its only my personal opinion but I cant seem to get on with nylon nets. I really like my hemp nets, and found it cheaper to make my own too. Don't take to long to learn (And helps when you need to repair the nets)

spun nylon

spun poly

Spun is probably the best but there have been plenty of foul wet days when they have soaked up water like a sponge and become heavy and next to useless . At times like these I always wish I'd brought a few of my ancient el-cheepo ,flimsy, nylon things out with me . Some of the heavy-gauge nylon nets available today handle reasonably well and are very good value . If I were a beginer on a tight budget they would be my choice until I learned to make my own .

you cant beat spun poly, but as comanche says there will be days when they will soak up a lot of water and become heavy, but the quality of some of the thicker nylon ones are good and will prob be better for these days. Try to PM longnetter he sells 10z nylon ones for £1 each or go to www.bridportnets.co.uk they sell good quality spun poly and 10z nylon ones for a reasonable price.

My choice would be 10Z Nylon knitted onto good quality heavy 1 1/4 inch Rings and a good 5mm Drawcord. Yes, they are a little heavier but they handle well

I use 50 hemp nets and it only take 5 minutes to hang them from the bottom ring in the garage at the end of the day to dry them when your putting the rest of the gear away

Mick Dadds spun poly nets are the best iv seen, and i use those along with a few hemp nets, going to knit my on over the summer months i think!
