Cranfield Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 What type of netting do you guys use? Ex Army style camo netting is available in the US and is excellent for hide building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pob Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 What type of netting do you guys use? Jack Pyke clearview hide netting on all my hides and then either a stealth Profesional 2 ply (from site sponsors) over the top, a desert net on stubbles, or natural vegetation where available. I've used the clearview on it's own where I have a dark background. It's great for visibility out and your barrels don't snag on it. I drape my outer nets to create 'windows' in my hide. Apart from the clearview net being useless with light behind it, it can be tricky to attach securely to poles as it is very flighty in the wind. I have lots of plastic spring clamps to get around this. As for poles, I have to use the screw type poles as my permissions are stoney and often hard.

brook Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Hi I im only just starting out so what I'm about to say have no experience backing it up but all I've gone for is 2 old army cam nets with four light extendible poles and and a pop up chair/ stool so I'm not popping my full body over the top and I think it's as simple as that for me high on the sides and back but so I can see in all directions.

Scully Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 My nephew bought a 'pop-up' at a game fair some years ago when he was in his mid teens, and loved it as it was light enough to carry anywhere and was erected in seconds. He said his only regret was missing the 'craic' with his mate as it wasn't big enough to share. He shot some impressive bags from it.

Mutiny Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Sometimes I don't bother making a hide, I just lie on the ground with camo netting over me (like a blanket!) - gives you a great view of whats flying around you, just don't do it on wet days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Any idea where I could get one scully? Sorry, didn't see this. As above, they seem to have a few different designs. Bush Wear sell them also but they don't look ideal really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diddy Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Only used it once, however will use more in winter as I just cant keep my hide together with poles and netting if its to windy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Only used it once, however will use more in winter as I just cant keep my hide together with poles and netting if its to windy. That will get a good buffeting by the wind. Try using some guy ropes and pegs. These will keep hide poles standing in high winds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diddy Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I find the net all blows inwards though between the poles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I find the net all blows inwards though between the poles. If you build the hide correctly, you can keep this to a minimum. I take it you clip your net to your poles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdsallpl Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Also a quick solution is a length of bamboo between the the poles held by cable ties, takes less that a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
