norseman 424 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 right chaps, I need some info on stop nets. I want to make my own as I've got enough purse nets for now. can I make one from spun poly and do they handle well? if I want it 10 yards do I have to knit 20 yards for 100% bagging? can I start the first row on a wire? and how many rows deep are needed? also what the feck is this selvedge that everyone talks about sorry for all the questions I tried looking on here but my minds a bit boggled Quote Link to post
The one 8,512 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Sounds like you know what your doing and your half way there 12/14 meshes high for me and you can put a selvriridge mesh top and bottom to stop wear on the lines but none of my nets have them 1 Quote Link to post
lllluke1 329 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 You're right with the length, knit double for 100% bagging. The selvedge is knitted to the top and bottom,usually with a thicker twine. This does 2 things, helps to stop wear but more importantly changes the way the net hangs. TC can explain better than me. There is a thread somewhere on here about the advantages of a selvedge mesh 1 Quote Link to post
