net pins for my new made net by me

[yoda 0]

hi all

having just made my first long net about 40 meters streched have put selegved in top and bottom

 

i am now in need of some help my first question is how long should i make the head/ foot line some say 50% of streched lenght others 75% the net is 16 mesh in height made from spun poly from agoutin with a gauge of 2"1/8 this includes the sleveged

 

the other question is how big / size of net pin im going to make my own so a skecth would be idea have a welder / steel so seems silly to buy some

PLEASE EXCUSE SPELLING JUST SEEN HOW PORT IVE DRUNK WELL IT IS XMAS

50% bagging is good, pegs every five or six metres and ideally end pins should have a big enough ring to stop the net passing over when picking up/carrying.

if its 40 metres your running top and bottom lines should be 20 metres

get your end pins off agouti

every body will tell you different, or most will anyway (we all have our own opinions). theres nothing set in stone but personaly if your net is 40 meters long so i would be haveing 20 meters top, 20 meters bottom and 1 meter each end for the end pin 42 meters in total. as for the end pins if your new to tradional lon neting you might find agoutis pins a bit small on the loop and as sure as eggs is eggs you will f**k it up in the dark just like everybody else does (mesh goes over the loop). as said above the loop wants to be bigger than the mesh, just make some 5 inch and have done with

 

always 100% bagging for me but 50 will work
