How too make a cheap quickset longnet

[bribri988 141]

Just wanted to show you how I made some cheap 30 meter quick sets

As some one said yesterday that they thought they might mess it up if

they tried, so I just want to show how easy, and cheap it is to do it yourself.

 

 

So too start with you need some sheet netting.

 

Here I'm using 6z 2" mesh, 15 meshes deep, and 200 yards long -£20

 

Some 8n nylon cord 132 meter reel - £11

 

(edited to add, that these poles were crap, and one rabbit snapped a pole all on its own )

Some electric fencing pole with 2 or the connectors cut off, and 2, the top, and bottom left on -70p each

 

 

First lay out the nylon cord to the desired length, top and bottom lines

 

 

Then bunch it up, at one end, next to your sheet netting

 

 

The sheet netting should, hopefully come with string through the top, and

bottom meshes, tied in a loop.

 

 

Untie the string, and attach your long length of nylon too it

 

 

then pull it all the way through

 

 

Do this top and bottom

 

 

Then stretch out the nylon, and secure it at both ends

 

 

You can then find the end of the netting, and start feeding it along the nylon

by just pulling it from one end

 

 

Once you have it layed out all the way to the end

Pace out 5 paces and drop a pole (edited to add, that these poles were crap, and one rabbit snapped a pole all on its own )

 

 

Then starting from the second from furthest pole, pick up the net

and pull it to the furthest pole, this sets the bagging, if you want 100%

bagging, pull it all the way to the end pole, if you want 50% then just

pull it half way to the end pole (edited to add, that these poles were crap, and one rabbit snapped a pole all on its own )

 

 

 

Then work your way back, repeating for each pole, so you

end up with a pile of bagging between each pole

 

 

 

Once you have all the net you want to use layed out, cut off the excess

and retie the ends for next time

 

 

You can then tie in the first pole, which you tread through the meshes

and then secure the top and bottom lines

 

 

For the middle poles, you just secure the top and bottom lines, but

dont feed the pole through the meshes

 

 

Then the jobs a goodun.

 

So you can use what ever you use to put it into for storage.

 

I'm using a cheap over sized game bag -£20

 

A paper round bag, or quickset basket will also work just as well.

 

 

 

I had access to a hall, which made it a bit easier, but you could also

do this all on grass, it would just snag a little more.

 

I hope that helps anyone who is interessed in making their own.

 

I'm not saying these nets will be better than whats on the

market already, but I am certainly saying they are cheaper.

 

And if like me, you preffer to catch in some thing you have made yourself

Its a good way to go.

 

Total price for 3 30 meter quick sets, and a carrier

 

 

£55.70

 

 

 

do you make them and sell them on? pm me thanks

I wouldn't you have your choice from any supplier of 1.2 mm up to 3 mm of drawcord unless you want a leaded bottom line

I got some old golf clubs cut off the end for the end poles , and they seem to be great mind they are only about 900cm long so a little short , i but the handle off the top so it's about 2" it seems to be great.

is it for night time? if so you need poles long enough not to fall in to the basket and the hight the net is up the pole will be to your prefrence.. i would not go too high myself.

 

if its for daytime you might want the net higher but tbh i dont use quick set so im guessing for daytime somebody will be along with advice very shortly im sure
