Bagging calculation / Net measuring

[Karl Daw 14]

How do you hold the top and bottom line to the net do you sew it on there ?

[smithie 2,443]

some stich bagging in but some/most have the line runing through the meshes at top and through end pins at each end then through the bottom, spicing the ends where they meet

Sorry mate i don't think i asked the right question every 5 yards there is obviously 10 yards of net how do you stop it from moving? do you literately stitch it at the top and bottom ?

[smithie 2,443]

i would not but some do.. getting the bagging in the correct place comes by practice you have to gauge you much is coming off the end pin but unfortunatly you need to pick your net up well to have the bag even in the first place..

 

 

practice, practice and more practice in the day is the only way im affraid

You could tie it to the lines with a bit of wool etc but as your running it out you will see whats happening to the bagging and alter it to suit

You do have to put 87 meshes every 5 yards though don't you ? and then like you said arrange the bagging within the 5 yards ? is that right ?

Too technical for me i just run them so there no strung tight like a tennis net and once your setting them i judge the bagging looking at the meshes on the top line

[The one 8,467]

Your easiest bet is get down the park and set it and lift it set it and lift it and you will see how it looks and if you think it would catch

87 meshes per 5 yards of net in 4.25" mesh is 100% bagging. But when you set it, if the bagging isn't tied in you can put the bagging where you need it the most. I hope that makes sense.

85 x 4,25 =361.25" = 10 yards 1.25" half of that distance = 5 yards .75"

The old Lad that taught me, used to say, you have to regulate the net.

He didn't like the bagging tied in,

I would run the net out down the park, before a nights netting, pulling the bunches, like above, having no tight lengths , bagging equal right along the net,

Then gather up, and your ready for your drop.

the thing is we dont all work nets the same and as your new to longnetting the trad way its possible imo to have too much info and this leading to an overload

 

just run your nets for now and practice with the info that you have and devolop in your own time..

Thanks again guys , the better half has just ordered me a great book as you guys told me peg to peg nice one Mrs.

[smithie 2,443]

there is all the info you will need in that book to get you up and running... its a good book and a must for anybody wishing to learn trad netting imo
