Longnetting, DIY suppliers

johngalway

Hi folks,

Am considering trying my hand at long netting. Not entirely made my mind up on it as yet, it's something different for me. Saw a thread elsewhere on how to make, or rather assemble, own quick set nets and it's pretty easy. But, where to buy suitable netting I would be looking for 6 oz netting with 2 inch mesh, 15 meshes deep/high.

I know these type nets can be bought ready assembled, that's not the direction I want to go right now though.

Any helpful suggestions appreciated

ATVB,

John

John i have a net making dvd if you want it, will def help you out if your loooking to make your own.

You can get them on ebay!
There not cheap, think around 70 euro, (net only)!
My advise would be to buy the whole set up, their expensive but a lot easier to run compared to a home made one!
Saying that i use the traditional method so maybe its worth a go!
Seen that thread too john!:D

What DVD is it Mayfly? Thanks for the offer Kinda have the assembly of the net figured out from the other thread. Using it is a different story :pac:

Unfortunately I'm not able to splurge, so this is going to be a "as chape as possible" operation

Think he means a DVD on net making! i.e spool of nylon, needle, sitting at the fire with the feet up!:D

There's lots of places that sell them but not cheap, think Magnum does them and this place!

Still think Ebay is your best bet, at auction you can get one at a good price!
I prefer 4z in a long net and 6z in purse nets!
What length you thinkin of getting, 25, 50, or 100 yard?

How about Section 34 of the 1976 Wildlife Act?
edit - got it - it does not apply to unprotected mammals, e.g. bunnies.

Nothin cheap about that!
Almost 90 euro for a 100 yard long net and when you add the VAT its probably over 100 euro!

Same net on ebay delivered to your door for 70 euro!

i think prices include vat, the cheap options were in relation to the smaller nets available.
