You want to cut the pegs about 1metre long and I fix my peg every seven/eight yards on the net . How far up the peg you tie the bottom line is a million dollar question . If you tie it too far up and net on hard ground you'll have a gap because you can't push them in far enough so you need to fix the bottom line so it can move up and be pushed down, I'd say fix it at about six inches and take it from there, you know for sure then that the bottom line will hit the ground .

cheers for that longnetter would that mean the top line would be around 6 inches from top of wand?

you only want the net to be set between the top and bottom line about 18 to 24 inches thus giving you plenty bagging to catch
