maxwell 88 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Whats the shortest length recomended for quickset poles, as I know some of the poles used on a traditional longnet are a lot shorter than the poles used on a quick set Quote Link to post
smithie 2,443 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) i THINK they are about 1 meter tall. Edited April 5, 2015 by smithie Quote Link to post
jocky 198 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 there a meter, but I cut mine down to 32". don't cut them down to short or they will keep falling in the basket. Quote Link to post
maxwell 88 Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I know the longer they are the easier to push into the ground when setting net , less bending over, but is a metre not to long Quote Link to post
lifelong cumbrian 1,826 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I like 1 metre. Quote Link to post
Tiercel 6,986 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 It does not really matter what length the poles are. What is more critical is the hight of the net, as long as that is not too high then the amount of pole above that does not matter. TC 2 Quote Link to post
Guest Navek Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Better to have to long a pole than too short a pole .................lol Seriously tho if working sandy ground the extra length comes in hand if you have a couple rabbits hitting the net and only have short amount of pole in sandy ground then acouple of rabbits hitting the net will pull the poles out fairly easy Edited April 6, 2015 by Navek Quote Link to post
maxwell 88 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Trying to keep the length down as I use oak for my poles and when you have got 2 x 50yd nets in basket plus poles its starting to get a bit heavy at end of the day, just trying to get weight down Quote Link to post

Have you thought about 6mm rebar as an alternative? Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post
maxwell 88 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 They are about 15mm diameter Quote Link to post
Leeview 791 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 15mm is quite hefty for poles, 10mm or as thick as your finger is regarded as a rule generally Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post
mad4it 695 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 oak is a bit of over kill for net pegs in my eyes at least they will last, have you thought about hazel they would be lighter. Quote Link to post
maxwell 88 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hazel would probably be lighter but at a meter long would have to be at least 12mm thick, might give them ago Quote Link to post
