Types of nets and their application

 

Polyethylene

Polyethylene netting was introduced in the late 1960's and is an extremely popular and versatile netting type. Double Diamond polyethylene netting has many applications including the following:

  • Professional fishermen : prawn trawls, cod ends, beach haul nets, deep sea drag nets.
  • Recreational fishermen: landing nets, scoop nets etc
  • Sporting: cricket practice nets, indoor sports centres, soccer nets, golf practice netting,
  • Safety: playgrounds, crowd control, barrier fencing
  • Cat enclosures and other animal containment systems
  • Anti bird and aviary applications – light weight, yet high strength with knotless mesh sizes from 1cm x 1cm
  • Load Covers
  • Decorative netting and many other applications

Haverford P/E netting is long lasting, UV protected, and extremely tight knotted to ensure the polyethyleneintegrity of the net over time. The netting is “double selvedged” – indicating that one row on the top and bottom of the net is double reinforced, to ensure higher strength at a nets weakest point.

Polyethylene netting is generally available in both square and diamond mesh shapes. It is generally measured as a stretched lengthwise bundle, but from time to time can be measured depthwise. It is available in dark and light green, blue, orange and black, with other colours available on request.

The polyethylene nets are listed as:

For example: 400/9 2” 100 x 20

400 = denier or material / 9 = the ply or thickness / 2” = the stretched mesh size
100 = the metres / 20 = the number of meshes deep

Polyethylene netting is a very popular type of netting used extensively throughout the community, so please don’t hesitate to contact one of our staff to assist you with your enquiries.

Braided Polyethylene

Braided polyethylene has similar qualities to normal twisted polyethylene however its twine is combined together as per a braid. This ensures a greater strength net, commonly used by deep sea trawlers. The braided twine has Compact Construction which restricts mud penetration and braidedprovides less drag. The distinctive combination of highest knot breaking strength and excellent abrasion resistance ,delivers durability and strength ensuring consistent performance of the trawl,voyage after voyage.

Braided netting is available in thicknesses ranging from 1.7mm to 2.5mm width and is available in a range of colours. These include orange/green, blue/yellow, orange and white. Haverford also import a brand new braided net which helps avoid algae / fungal build up on nets. Please contact us for more information on braided nets.
