if you do a clove hitch knot

 

 

then put a tight rubber band over it, you dont need a gromit.

 

Gromits are good though, but if you cant get them, try the above, as theres a lot of friction on a dowel, so it should work well.

I tried to post a reply earlier but I am rubbish with computers,so here goes again.

 

1-With a heavy duty stapler,staple the top and bottom cord of the net into the dowel where you want it,use 3 staples.

 

2-Place a blob of super glue or Araldite over the saples and cord,let it dry.

 

3-Get some heat shrink sleeving (as used to put over electric jonts on cables) a little larger than the dowel,slide over the cord and staples,you dont need a lot only about 5-8cms.

 

4-When you are sure the cords and sticks are in the right position heat the heat shrink with a heat gun,it really binds around the stapes and cord compressing the staples,the cord doesn't slip, the sticks stay in place,its neat and tidy and won't fowl the net.

 

Easy as you like and cheap as chips, £1.00 for about 20 sticks worth !!

Always found bike inner tube cut into section and fastened to the top line, then doubled round the pole sufficed

Funny what I take to be second nature believing everyone knew about these things obviously not

Used on the botton of the net when pushing the pole into the ground the rubber and net slip up the pole so the net is tight to the ground, so if the ground is softer the pole goes in futher (Tip from Glen Walters snareman on here).

Was kindly given some lamb castration rings from one of the lads on here, you put one either side of your clove hitch, holds the line great. Ibelieve they are quite cheap at the farm suppliers, regards DAVE.

[ginger dave 63]

Just rolled them on, DAVE

So do you still have to half hitch the top and bottom lines with lambing rings?
