Types of nets and their application
Knotless Nylon Netting
Our knotless netting is popular due to its soft, yet high strength qualities. This netting, as the name suggests has no knots, which provides a soft-to-touch finish. This is a UV treated, multi-filament nylon net which ensures strength, outdoor usability and quality. Knotless is generally available in black, however in certain specifications it is available in brown and blue. It is generally constructed in a diamond mesh  configuration and is available in a large variety of mesh sizes, plys, widths, and depths. Haverford supplies knotless netting by the metre, however discounts are generally applied to purchases of full bundles. Special orders are also taken for individual requirements subject to minimum quantities. Knotless netting is measured and supplied as a stretched bundle.
Common uses of knotless netting include:
- Aquaculture – soft and durable quality of the net coupled with the lack of rough knots ensures less damage to fish harvest.
- Playground / Safety – this strong netting is soft to touch which makes it a favourite for children’s playground structures.
- Golf practice cages – suitable in the heavier plys, knotless ensures an extra strong practice net.
- Cat enclosure netting – This very soft material is popular for kittens and small enclosures

Mono-Filament Nylon
Haverford stocks a huge range of mono-filament netting. They were introduced in the early 1970’s and are composed of a high strength single strand nylon material, which are available in a wide range of sizes and colours. Mono netting is generally used by professional fisherman, however mono netting is often also found in commonly used bait nets and cast nets. Please note that mono netting is illegal for fishing use in NSW (including mono cast and bait nets). The Double Diamond mono nets Haverford stock are UV treated and are primarily available in the colours Smokey Grey, Clear and light green (other colours are also available on request and subject to minimum orders).
Haverford stocks mono netting in over 17 thicknesses, ranging from line 1.5 (0.25mm diameter)  through to Line 90 (1.85mm). These thicknesses relate to the thickness of the net cord and correspond to various breaking strains of net. These range from 3kg right up to 107kg breaking strains, with the heavy gauges often used for catching large barramundi and shark. All Double Diamond nets are “double knotted” to ensure there is no knot slipping, and that the mesh sizes remain to their intended specifications.
Mono nets are always measured stretched mesh depth wise and are always sold only by the full bundle. Almost all Haverford mono nets are selvedged top and bottom using multifilament nylon netting. This assists the user in hanging the net to the rope, due to its ‘grippier’ feel. Mono nets are available in a large range of lengths, mesh sizes and depths, with special orders welcome subject to minimum quantities. Haverford also happily accepts requests for pre-hung nets with floats, rope and leads attached. Mono netting is very popular with fishermen in the Pacific Islands.
