i thought i mite get a slateing for this post ...but ignored lol

[Guest on the hill]

right .............after a bit of searching ive came up with a figure of 270meters and that is debens 1kg draw cord but id imagine most draw cord is about the same weight so i should easy have enough for the job get in

so if anyone asks, you now know the answer dowt anyone will ask tho

Ive just seen this post,

 

At a guess i would have thought a few things such as twine diameter, cored or coreless would all dictate how much twine you get for a 1kg spool, just a thought

im going to go to the football field and wrap it round the goal posts from end to end anyway lol just to be sure before i actually go and do the deed and the measurements

[The one 8,533]

Theres 3mm draw cord but 2mm seems the most popular and if you want to be really tight there 1.2mm mate you could do a survey and get back to us

yeah ill stand at the local shop with a clipbord

 

a few moments of your time please sir.......lol

[Guest on the hill]

why is it whenever i need some info on a product ive got to send an e-mail to the site???

theres no measurements other than leangth on the site i got the info from lol

[Rabbithunter 456]

what site you getting it from? if its deben, i think they do 2mm nylon braid. and you will get about 270m per kilo as you said

[Guest on the hill]

i got it from a guy who sells the stuff lol, no sites

im sure its 3mm cord i got though so ill look for more measurements

one detail that i cant find anyone talking about is how the middle poles are attached!! am i to understand that the draw cord is wraped arround the pole once and tied with nylon twine? i am going to cut some notches in the poles if this is the case!!

[stubby 175]

middle poles use a clove hitch

[woodga 170]

you have him worried now stubby a clove hitch on your head and foot lines attached to your poles about 8 yrds apart get a few pictures as you do it and stick them up to show the finished job good luck anyway

ok will get some pics up, thanks for the advise all,

i went down to the footie pitches 5 mins ago and the councill worker said that the small pitch is about 100 yards so i wraped me draw cord round it and quickly realised i should have enough left for a 50foot net if i desired :dance: sooo lookin good so far
