Scottoj18 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 If that helps ... Good nets but you need to add to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin&Oakley Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 As mentioned on its own its pants (personal opinion). I managed to get mine cheap as well, I'm waiting on a mate to get me an army cam net. In the mean time I have some green netting that I drape over and add foliage to.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 The Clear View type of material is useful as a "window" at the top and front of a hide allowing you to see the incoming pigeons. But as has been stated above, a good backdrop is required to stop the silhouetting of the hide occupant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike737 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I got mine on the bay, £5.00 a metre free postage. I put some black netting at the rear of it over the lower 3 quarters, also from the bay, £2.00 a metre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davyo Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Total rubbish on its own, like others have said you need a second net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottoj18 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Iv used little black cable ties the two nets together .. Neat and tidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzab Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Okie dokie. I've got couple of decent sized lumps of army net. So think ill have a bash at combining them. Part of my thought was to have a window at top to see the wee blighters as they come in. Got mine from the bay too. watched loads until one ended at right price and jumped on it. Got 1.5mx2m chunk to try. Give me something to do while sod all pigeons about. Next a cheap magnet................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickB65 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 As everyone has stated on its own it is **** but as a backing net or used in combination it is good. To be honest if I had seen one first I would not have purchased one but as I did and I had some spare net and joined the two together and it works ok.

Davyo Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) But it was never designed to be used on its own! Yes but they don't tell you that when they're flogging it,however stitch some army camo net in front and its perfect for peeping through.

VINCED 686 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Totally agree with everyone else. I fold mine in half and cable tie it to the top of the hide poles then drape army netting over it to create windows on all sides. Works great. Also when it comes to getting a magnet ... DONT go cheap. I made this mistake and now I have 2 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
