[Jamie m 668]

Hello all I'm going to harvest some hazel poles this week for my 40 new top qaulity purse nets many many thanks again longnetter superb qaulity and price your a true gent. anyone after new nets you won't go far wrong getting them off longnetter , Anyhow once I've cut them to peg size which I like to be a good length with the sandy soil and all do you guys still drill holes in them or not cheers j . Not long now,

YES hole drilled, and a long point , i also sand mine smooth, helps them go in properly. i also splice my drawcords rather than tie a knot behind the peg

 

i think i might have O.C.D or pehaps to much time on my hands

Your not the only one!

I just drill mine and put a knot each side of the hole to stop the cord sliding through the hole and wearing out on the inside of the hole where you cant sand smooth.

I like the idea of spliceing them though!

Splash a dab of bright paint on the 'tops' it sometimes helps to find a net!

Not to worry nets are red I'm to tight to leave a net even if there green , don't meen to sound dumb lads but could you explain SPLICE for us cheers j

ITS a way of joining 2 pieces of cord/rope/twine together without using a not, a common place to see this is on ropes from ships they splice them together a bit like platting.

 

but with drawcord you use a neddle to thread one end through the other end for about 2 inch and then you do the same with the otheer end.

 

feck thats clear aint it its hard to wright it , but very easy to do you only have to see it once and you could do it

 

just thought theres a film called nets and net making by brian brinded, he shows you on there, have a look on ebay for it
