Ewan Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 What do you guys use to attach your hide net to your poles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 All my nets have had a 4" Approx backing mesh which I feed 'in-out' down the poles. This keeps the net taut and if you should poke the barrels through it, it makes it easier to extract them. If in a hedge, I put one pole about a foot from the hedge and snag the net onto it and the other end about 2 feet out and do the same this being my 'door'. If shooting a cross wind, the door is upwind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having fed the mesh down the poles, the top is then just hooked on to whatever type of hook the pole has. If the poles are telescopic, it's easier to start off with them collapsed and erect to the required height when done. This way there's no extra fiddly bits to either forget or lose.

Westley Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) 4 tent pegs with para cord, to anchor hide poles in a wind. 6 wire tent pegs to anchor bottom of net to ground. 2 packets of green plastic circular clips from Poundland gardening section (forgotten how much ?). The circular clips fix net to hide poles, the net hooks over fixed hooks on top of poles. 1 3 mtr. section of plastic overflow, cut in half with push on coupling to rejoin. 2 extending fishing bank sticks with 22mm pipe clips fixed to tops. Thread overflow through roof net and then clip onto poles, drape net over hide and fasten at rear. Hide poles and overflow all painted with blackboard, sorry, chalkboard paint. P.S.

Cosd Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hook the net to the top of the pole, if it's particularly windy I use tent pegs to pull net down, and also have a dozen or so plastic clips like the ones already pictured above.

HIDENSEEK Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Poundland or the equivalent sell the small clips, guess how much! --(for eight) Edited April 3, 2016 by HIDENSEEK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEADLY PLUMBER Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I have small zip ties all along the top edge of my net every 4" apart. I hook these in the G fitting on the top of the poles. If I need to tighten the top edge I just pull the next tie into the G. I use the clips as above to secure the net to the poles lower down. I carry about 12 ( various sizes ). Also I carry guide ropes in a wind if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
