Types of nets and their application
Multi Mono Nylon
Multi-mono netting was introduced in 1975 as a softer alternative to single strand mono nets. Multi mono (as the name suggests) is simply a collection of several strands of mono cord. By using between 4 to 20 strands of thin mono cord, the result is a softer to handle netting, whilst maintaining high strength and usability. For use in NSW, multi mono nets must have a minimum of 7 strands.
For example: 0.5 x 8 (refers to 8 strands of 0.5 gauge line) or alternatively a fishermen may prefer 1.5 x 4 (4 strands of thicker 1.5 line)
All Double Diamond multi-mono netting is of the highest quality and comes double knotted, selvaged and UV treated. Multi mono nets are available in various colours including smokey grey, clear and light green. Multi-mono, as with mono netting , is primarily used by professional fishermen (gill nets etc) . However, it is also commonly found in recreationally used cast nets, bait nets and even as a decorative netting.
Multi mono netting is also measured stretched depth wise and is only available as a full bundle purchase. Haverford also happily accepts requests for pre-hung nets with floats, rope and leads attached. Multi mono is also popular with fishermen in the Pacific Islands.
Special orders are happily taken subject to minimum quantities and availability. A full list of available sizes can be found HERE.
Multi-Filament Nylon
Multi-filament nylon netting was introduced in the 1960’s and remains an economical netting option today. Although the introduction of multi-mono and mono netting has reduced the demand for multi-filament netting, it remains a popular option for:
- Fishing nets
- Bird control netting
- Shark proofing net – in the heavier plys
- Household general purpose / decoration etc
Multi-filament netting is a strong, UV treated netting. It is also a comparatively softer netting than other options. Haverford Double Diamond nylon nets have very tight, single knots.
One advantage of nylon multi-filament is that it is able to be dyed to almost any colour. These include white, black, brown, pink, blue etc.
This particular netting is available in a thickness range from 4ply (the lightest and thinnest) right through to 280ply (the thickest). It is available in a variety of lengths and depths, and is generally “double selvedged” top and bottom (has a double layer of twine of the same material top and bottom ).
Multi- filament nylon is also supplied as tarred. This is achieved by applying a resin tar to the net which hardens, strengthens and increases the lifespan of the net. Tarred nylon netting is usually dyed black.
Haverford’s Double Diamond nylon netting is also commonly supplied as a long tubular bundle, used commonly for crab witches hats and similar applications.
