Ludwig 0 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Does anyone have any they wish to sell or can make for me to buy please? After about 4 at about 8ft each.Moll. I made two about a year back just that cheep black garden netting on 18" hazel Pegs with twine as the running top and bottom lines and about 50% bag worked a treat as i was digging out Rats with a terrier and the problem I had with more bag was the dog chewed the net when killing the rats but they worked well as the rats just hit them and were slowed for the terrier to catch up and catch them. I've lost these nets now but they were cheep as chips to make. Quote Link to post
borderboy 80 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Some thing like this perhaps.... 1" mesh, set about 12" high 8ft long with 50% bagging... sound alright..? i will probably make the next one a little bit higher/wider so theres abit more belly in the net...!

stephen58 1 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi B B great looking nets just one question are they made from 10z twine (rats biting net/terrier hitting net/killing in net) mainly from a strenght point of view? any one up for a game of table~tennis with the rats! I think your terrier is judging by that photo he/she seem;s to be saying"come on ;where are they then"best regards Steve Quote Link to post

Guest buster321c Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Rabbit purse nets £3.50 on ebay with this quote These nets are hand made by experienced net maker in mylor, cornwall, and made from nylon twine as opposed to hemp this is superior as it will not rot and does not tangle as badly,also stays flexible when dried out. These are standard size nets Supplied with wooden peg and brass rings. I can supply more nets to specific requirements or different sizes, eg gap nets or different materials. contact me on 07855015550 the guy is fatmattwood Quote Link to post
stephen58 1 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Thanks B B point taken on board about nets getting trashed best regards Steve Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,067 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 what about a roll of chicken wire Quote Link to post
OldTrapCollector 377 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 what about a roll of chicken wire That's about what I was thinking Tomo, surely rats would climb straight up a 'long net' given more than a second to think about it. It seems a bit of a waste of effort to make a 1" stop net just to slow them down so a terrier can chop them? OTC Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 used an old pair of net curtains as a kid when we ratted a tip, they were ok to stop the rats or turn them back for the dogs to kill....if not get a better dog that doesnt miss them Quote Link to post
mole catcher 1 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 get yourselves a roll of damp course that builders use, turn it on its side and support with short hazle sticks. hard as nails and the rats cant climb it. its just a plastic membrain about 20inch wide and forms a wall that the rats run along rather that try to climb over.
