Quick set nets

[Guss33 375]

Hi all I live in Australia and do a lot of ferreting with long nets and purse nets. I have being watching a lot of the videos on YouTube on how you guys use the quick set nets on the basket. I love the idea on how it works but I am unable to find the anything like that in Australia and to by it from over seas it will cost me an arm and a leg. Has any one ever made up the basket or has photos on what they have made. As you can see by the photos we just put poles in the ground and tie our nets to them. This does work but very time consuming any ideas or even web sites some one can point me into the correct direction would be great. I know I won’t be able to use the fibreglass or hazel wood poles as our ground is hard they will need to be metal. Yes it will have quite a bit of weight to it.

I made up some quick set baskets a few years ago , I made the baskets from 1/4 stainless rod bent to shape then used shade mesh for the bags , I also use aluminium poles around 8m/m will have to check on  that , There are some good pics on here to give you a idea , They are fast to setup and pull down i wouldn't go back ,

All netting and net gear is supplied by nelsons net loft here in the UK,, so the quality is superb.

I am sure it is with out a doubt all you guys use the stuff and not seen a bad word. But so is the price SUPERB when I get it sent over I will keep saving $$$$$ and soon should be right. All I would probably need is two long quick set nets around 75 meters long in total length. Unsure what that is in yards.

Thick as pig shit I am mate, anything I do is common sense, sadly folk look for hard ways of doing owt instead of seeing what is right in front of them

Thank you to all I am going to give it a go. I have a welder grinder and tools needed to make one I will give it a shot and I will keep you posted. Just one more question on how you tie the net to the grommet if someone could please post up a photo or to that would be great.
