I like grp 10mm with grommets.

I was out yesterday with a guy, hes just made his first 2 stopnets 15yds and had purchased 150 grp tent poles for £30 from ebay, a bit short really so hes cut 30 of them down into 1/4's rejoined them with gluing and spotting the ferrules to end up with 120 poles that are spot on for the job at a very good price

How has he rejoined them.

I had some nets in last week for repair, they had 13mm GRP poles on them. I have never been a fan of pre-set nets, but these poles took some strain without bending. I set one net out as the poles impressed me, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised how well they stood up to the side strain of pulling the top line tight, I was able to get a tension in the net that I have never seen with 10mm poles without having guy ropes at the ends of the nets.

I would agree they would be very ridged. 10mm is fine for me though, lighter, easier to push in the ground and you say a couple of bits of running line with pegs on (or purse nets) will soon tighten the top line if required.

I prefer the 12mm poles, you can get the top line really tight

basically he took the bottom ferrule off and glued it back on leaving 1/2 the original depth this allowed him to insert the 1/4 off cuts into it, he mentiond punching them? and cut a bevel on the bottom to go into the ground, hes an agricultural machinery builder/fitter so I just nodded when he explained

Those stop nets on that add are long for 2 poles, 10yd net on 2 poles, his poles only 900mm, gonna be a bit of droop on the top line, would need a peg either end for me especially on rough ground. I make my stop nets 6yds sometimes 5yds. Not saying this is right but best for me. Thanks for the reply Leeview. ATB.
