cutting a net or not?

[B.P.R 2,798]

so my sheet netting arrived from brinded. 100 yards of 4oz.

 

now looking at 'paid's instructions on making a quick, homemade net he had just pulled the lines through the top and bottom as it came like that.

 

my net has came like that too with the top and bottom of the net having a line through them. so should in theory just tie my 25yards of line (2×25yarders) to the line already there and pull it through as paid has done.

 

this is great but my net from top to bottom is about 5 1/5 foot. that would mean either a 4/5 ft high net or have FAR too much bagging.

 

what should i do?

 

thread the top line through and then painstakingly cut the whole 100yards of the bottom of the net?

 

this would take ages and be a right pain in the arsse.

 

any one done the same?

Leave it as it is. DONT cut it, its sposed to have that much bag.

[bobcullen79 1,495]

By the time you have set it up, some of that depth will be lost when you stretch it the other way.

5 1/2foot high is a bit much is it no?

 

i need to cut my poles sometime, so need to know how high i should cut them? what height should i make my topline with that height of net?

 

with so much bag wont it be a pain in the arsse for tangles?

 

didnt think about losing some height once i stretched it out

Dont cut it thats the bagging by the time you have set it at the height you require the bagging wont seem so bad , Mind its a longnet its supposed to have bagging , dont set it tight like a tennis net

You'll def loose some hight once its out. Though there is no such thing as too much bagging. When you watch the odd rabbit bounce off, you will wish for more

 

How many meshes high is it ?

quick trip to the garage.

 

its 30 meshes buddy. give or take 1 or 2 (speed counting)

It`ll be fine mate, the meshes are all stretched the wrong way at the moment, once its hung the right way at the lenth its gonna be used at, most of that will disapear. Im gonna go count the meshes on that sheet I bought...

[bobcullen79 1,495]

Just checked mine... 15 meshes.. Dont listen to me, Im talking shite lol. I wouldnt go cutting it just yet though. I know its a pain in the arse, I would try it out first and if it was too much then cut it. Where did you order it from just out of interest?

Feck me you don't listen to advice do ya,,, bet you've just counted down each not??

 

Get it strung up and set out and you will see...

 

Or of course if you still don't believ everyone,,,,,,,, how about call brinded ?

[bobcullen79 1,495]

Ha Ha Ha. I dont know why but I assumed most people ordered from Advanced now and got sent what I got sent.. Are you sure brinded didnt just send you what they had lying around as theres a few unhappy people dealt with them lately, and 30 meshes does sound monsterously deep, feck me, you could rip it lenth ways, add a selvedge to each edge and get two nets out of it.

[TOMO 26,067]

He's counted evry not bob,,, Ile put 100 quid on it

 

Remember there's two nots to one mesh.....

I hope I'm right,,, or I'm going to look a right c**t......lol
