bothbarrels Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Just been having a discussion on facebook with a shooting freind about these, we recon they'd be great for hide making, what do you recon? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BUILD-BALL-CLOCHE-FRUIT-CAGE-NETTING-FLEECE-x12-/310318308367?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Garden_Plants_Weed_Pest_Control_CV&hash=item4840699c0f#ht_1677wt_1270 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedd-wyn Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 It's a good idea fair play and quite reasonably priced as well. Ideal for gardening... But there are times that I don't even take poles out with me, most of the time there's plenty of natural material around that I can use.

Cranfield Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 It has some merit, but you are going to need quite a level piece of ground, it restricts the shape of your hide and means carrying at least twice as many poles, thats why it wouldn't work for me.

utectok Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) I use four poles and a guy rope if it's windy. With three pegs in each guy a gale wont shift it!! Edited April 10, 2012 by utectok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun57 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 stealth net half a dozen wooden clothes pegs in the hedge does for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P~MX Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 personally I think it's over kill ! a good stealth net and a few cable ties and no hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
