Purse Nets

[sprockerjay 74]

can some one tell me number of meshes I need to increase by if I start a purse net with 8 meshes on the ring cheers sj

Up to you , better a wider net than a smaller one , you could add a mesh a row till your at 18 and start reducing it ?>

I go 10 12 14 16 18 4ft works well for me.

[ruggers13 268]

I start at 8 go to 17 do 4 rows of 17 and start reducing back to 8

[paulus 26]

9/15/9 on 2 1/4" (60MM) mesh board will give roughly a 3` 6" net just add more rows to make the length you require

Reading this i pulled out a pamphlet 1996 Gerald L. Findley

Purse nets

Net 1 gauge 2 1/2 10,10,11,11,12,12,13,13,14,14,14,14,14,13,13,12,12,11,11,10,10,10,

Net 2 gauge 2 1/8 10,12,14,16,18,18,18,18,18,18,18,18,18,18,16,14,12,10,

net 3 gauge 2 1/8 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,20,20,20,20,20,20,20, 19,18, 17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10, 9.

Theres more at the bottom so i take it whatever works for you is okay

do you go up 1 or 2 at a time nd what length do u end up with cheers every one for you replies nd its still not to clear yet am jst not clued up with numbers yet

[Leeview 791]

Start with 8 next row increase at each end giving you10 DONT increase the next row, next row increase at both ends giving you 12,DONT increase the next row and so on by the 10th row you should have 18 half meshes wide do 3 rows at 18 then decrease at each end of every other row back down to 8,Depends what size mesh board as to what length the net ends up at, mine are 4'8"using a 21/4" board

Leeview why don't you increase every row?

I don't like to shape all the way out to the middle so I have plenty of bagging without having loads of meshes near the rings where they serve no purpose.

 

10 12 14 16 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 16 14 12 10

[Rabbiting man 1,191]

I make my own purse nets 18 meshes wide & 20 rows down with a 2.1/8 mesh board.

 

I start off with 12 meshes wide then finish with 12 meshes.

 

12 14 16 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 16 14 12.

that mint lads got loads of diferent ways to try now just need to keep coming back to this thread thanks very much everyone for all your great sugestions will try them all out to see which one suits me

yis sj

[Leeview 791]

Leeview why don't you increase every row?

basically I increase every other row so Im not adding to a half mesh its always a full mesh that I increase on and at each end to balance it out, just how I was shown many years back

Ah ok that makes sense
