Longnet Height

[rooboy 0]

I brought some netting when brought said it was 30x6m but when it came in on the box the card read 3 1/2inch mesh 50meter lenght 100 meshes depth I was told it would make three nets meter high with meter kill but that seems high to me what width would you blokes make the net

95mm or 3.5" mesh is too small for catching rabbits as a long net as they cannot get their head through a mesh. However, it is very good for making trammel nets.

 

If the net is 100 m deep multiply 100 by 3.5" =350" a long net should be around 60" in depth when the meshes are closed up.18 meshes deep would give you a net of 63 inches in depth. So that would mean you could make 5 long nets out of one sheet of 100 meshes deep.

gee that is shit cost me enough aswell I did ring him and queery him but recons he sells them all the time as long nets. But i own the net now so will give it a go what is a trummel net just the net you cover a hole with

I have just received a consignment from my manufacturer it is 210/18 ply, 4" mesh, 15 meshes deep and its double selvdged. I'm happy to sell it as shhet netting in 200 metre lengths or as made up long nets. (Australia only)

That is exactly the same as the 6z long nets we use here. The 4z would be 210/12.

A trammel net is a net with three walls it has two outer walls of large mesh and an inner wall of small mesh. This is what a fishing trammel looks like.

 

 

Notice that because of the dimond mesh half of the net where it joins the main line is virtually unusable as the pocket is too small.

 

These are the trammels that we use for rabbits and instead of haveing dimond outer meshes we use square outer meshes.

 

 

Each square of the outers are 12" 30cm Square. The inner meshes are aroun 60" in depth and are tied in @ 10 meshes per square. This then creates a net that has a hell of a lot of slack that become pockets when a rabbit hits the net.

 

 

One of the good things about trammels is that they are not affected by the wind as much as a normal net would be so a rabbit can hit a net from either side and still be caught.
