How High Is Your Net?

[werbad 43]

Hi

I have made a long net thinking that I had made it 18 high but I made it 27x606 do know what went wrong! What would you do?

[smithie 2,444]

wants to be a lot deeper that 18 inch. 18 inch is a nice height to set it to when trying to catch.

 

what size mesh you knitted and how many rows wide?

[werbad 43]

The mesh is 2.5 so it's about 4 foot high and 606 mash long

[Tiercel 6,986]

Is that 18 meshes wide by 606 meshes long?

I'm going to put a pole every 6 metres and one when needed to support, how many messes should I have every 6 metres if they are at 2.5 inches mesh?

Sorry if still confusing yous

[smithie 2,444]

I do hope it's not a 2.5 inch mesh or the net will not be much use. if the mesh board is 2.5 inch that gives you a 5 inch mesh. again this won't be much use.

 

a a peg every 5 yds give or take.

Now I'm coming confused! Sorry it 2.1/8 not 2.5 need to read things not just think I know what I'm on about, so is that ok?

So about how many messes do you have every 5 yds? Or what should I have at 2.1/8 over 6m

Thanks for any help

[smithie 2,444]

you board makes a 4.25 inch mesh and thats OK.

 

just Google how many inch in 1 yd

 

x 5 then divide 4.25

with a 4 1/4" mesh you need 85 meshes per five yards of net for a net rigged by half it's stretched length.

Thanks for that, so would I have to add 43 so I had 50% bag?

Is it ok that it's 27 mesh high?

[smithie 2,444]

oh Yeh i forgot the bag lol

[Tiercel 6,986]

Right, I think I have worked out what he means? I think he is counting rows as meshes 27 rows = 13.5 meshes deep and 606 is 303 meshes long. If I am right he has 17.5 yards of net rigged by halves or (100% bag as it is erroneously called) rigged 85 meshes into every 5 yards.

 

When will people realise that there are two rows in a single mesh. The same with all the 100% and 50% bag rubbish there is no such thing.
