I have an ex-army net and was wondering how I was going to use it best. This sounds a good way Do they extend / have some fancy Y piece at the tops / how long are they / etc.? Quote Link to post

Wife wonders how her props keep getting so muddy haha I found some re-usable camo tape on Ebay, used it yesterday to wrap the silver bits - no shine at all. Best the material sticks to itself as its sort of rubberised stuff, so no adhesive, can reuse it for ever. brill Quote Link to post
happyploughman 1 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Wilkinson poles are now marked at £2.99 each but you get 2 for a fiver. I got 2 the other day and banged bottom into a point. I went out onto some beans and went to put up poles and realised I had "pointed" poles with inner not extended and the inner would not extend as it too was smashed, what a berk, swore at myself a few times. Now got 2 more and extended before bashing haha. Quote Link to post
