Purse Nets

[hellyer189 93]

How much cheaper is it to make your own nets taking into consideration the amount of time it takes to make one?

[The one 8,511]

Don't suppose its any cheaper unless you buy the stuff in bulk . it roughly the same price where ever you buy it but its the time you put in even at the minium wage it would mount up .The joy comes from catching a rabbit in a net youv'e made your self ..I only use nets iv'e knitted myself over preference to shop bought or cut off of a long net . the point was brought home years ago when we where out and i had the net bag after we had netted up it was just the shop bought nets that where left in the bag

All our nets are made by ourselfs bright spun poly 4ft long and 18meshes wide

[The one 8,511]

Same here five colours of spun all four foot long twenty meshes wide you cant beat a nice big net

ive never made my own, but i only pay £1:60 a net and there hemp, start at 8 and go to 18 then back to 8, at £1:60 it seems mad to make my own, ive got nets and have never had a problem, there is mostly always 2 of us ferreting and my mates have nets too, if there is more than 50 holes we normally long net any ways i also make my own pegs, im using hazel atm but hazels privet, beech, oak, box is the best..

There is nothing wrong with buying good quality nets in but there is no better satisfaction than catching rabbits in nets you have made yourself

£1.60p for hemp nets not bad at all
