Frequently Asked Netting Question

Do you know how to ask questions about fishing netting? What kind of questions you mainly ask before order a fishing netting? We will show you some questions our fishing nets customers frequently asked. 

What Does Twine Size Mean?

Twine size refers to the diameter (thickness) of the twine or string that forms the mesh in netting.  There are several different measuring systems to measure the same piece of twine. Below are four of the most common methods used to measure the diameter of the same piece of twine:

Denier System= 210d/192(64×3)

Fraction of an inch system= 1/8 inch

Millimeters = 3.17mm

What Are Meshes Deep?

Meshes deep will determine the height (top to bottom) of a piece of netting. Meshes deep is the number of stretch or full meshes from the top of the netting to the bottom of the netting (between the selvedges).   Example: 50 meshes deep of 2 inch stretch or full measure pulled tightly will be 100 inches deep from top to bottom.

What Are Meshes Long?

Meshes long will determine the length (left to right) of a piece of netting.  Meshes long is the number of stretch or full meshes beginning at the left edge and ending at the right edge of a piece of netting (parallel to the selvedges).  Example:  2,000 meshes long of 2 inch stretch or full measure pulled tightly will be 4,000 inches long from left to right.

What are Selvedges?

Selvedges are  smooth, finished edges made of twine that run the full length (left to right) of a piece of netting.  Selvedges are created in the manufacturing process and can be single (one piece) or double (two pieces of twine).  Selvedges can have a larger stretch or full mesh size ( see stretch mesh above) than the rest of the netting. Selvedges can also be manufactured with larger twine size diameters (see twine size above) than the rest of the netting. Finally, selvedges can be made of a different material than the rest of the netting.

What are Netting Treatments?

Nylon, one of the most common fibers used in netting, is normally dipped into a light solution of resin or bond which minimizes knot slippage under pressure.  Depending on the use of the netting, additional treatment of netting may be desirable. Some common treatments are:

Dyeing the netting to change the color from white to most any other color

Net Dips: Netting is submerged into a solution similar to paint which coats the netting giving it an increased abrasion resistance and additional protection from UV damage. Net dip (Fitec brand “Tuff Kote”) will dry to a smooth, non-sticky finish, with rich, color.

Tar: A treatment used primarily in fishing where netting is submerged in a “tar” similar to asphalt tar used in roads. The netting will dry to a slight tacky or sticky finish and will often rub onto other surfaces.

Note:  Usually only nylon or polyester will have netting treatment. Polyethylene fiber will not absorb liquids, and dyeing or netting treatments will not adhere to the surface of polyethylene very well.
