Hi Sean, have you thought about buying 2 spools and making a stop net from each? Working on 12-15 purse nets per spool you would be doing less width in a stop net(14meshes ) you should end up roughly 10yds(20yds) with 100% bagging

IMHO I'd be looking at making them in spun poly nice to work with and low maintainance as regards drying it every time it gets damp

Good Luck

Smithie is 4.5 not a bit too large?

if you want to catch everything then yes it is big but if you just want the big winter bunnys it will be fine.. small ones will get through.

 

that would be a 2.25 mesh board

I use 21/4" meshboards for purse and longnets with a long/stopnet its more tangling the rabbits than the purse net closing around the rabbits

Forgive me for being twat,I've got the book long netting from peg to peg,but it looks like he's using 2" mesh board but I got confused

when 4.5" was mentioned,I thought you ment the mesh board that would be massive!

 

 

So Lee 14 rows at 2 1/4" including the selvidge!

 

smithie 4 1/2" is the measurement of corner to corner(if it was a diamond)!

No Problem Sean we all have to start somewhere only wish the internet had been about in them days.

21/4" is a row 2rows= 1mesh

No 14 rows plus the selvedge top and bottom

41/2" at the longest point

Good Luck
