How do we measure our nets?

Different suppliers, net makers and industries measure and supply nets according to different specifications. This section outlines how Haverford measures and supplies its netting to help eliminate any confusion you may have and to assist in determining what size net you require. Please do not hesitate to discuss this with our sales team to ensure you receive the appropriate netting. For precise measurements, mesh size is measured from inside knot to inside knot.

 

Length and Depth

Most netting is supplied in a stretched configuration, however some netting including sporting nets and bird netting is sold as an IN USE bundle. (the length and depth measurement s will be quoted as if they were opened up and in use.) Netting is very versatile in terms of the area it covers. Most nets can be stretched in both directions, allowing for flexibility in terms of length and depth.

For example a bundle of nylon netting may measure 100metres in length. However when this net is opened up and stretched depthwise, some length of the netting will be lost.
Please contact us for assistance in determining your length and depth requirements, as our experienced staff can recommend you the most appropriate net.

 

 

 

Thickness of netting material

The thickness of the material can be determined in two ways depending on the type of net.

Polyethylene and multi-filament nylon netting is measured as a PLY. The larger the ply, the thicker and more heavy duty the netting will be. Double Diamond netting ranges from 4 ply right through to 280 ply.

Monofilament netting thickness is referred to as a line number and is based on the diameter of the mono line. Haverford stocks a range from Line 1.5 (0.30mm) through to Line 90.

Multi Mono Netting is constructed as a series of MONO lines wound together and as a result its thickness is described as follows. For example:

  • 0.5 x 8 - This netting is constructed of 8 individual line 0.5 strands to form a single multi-mono net.

  • 1.5 x 10 - 10 individual strands of line 1.5 mono – thus ensuring a thicker and heavier duty net.
