Weighted Rope Bottom Border on Netting - Reference Examples of Custom Nets
Weighted Rope Bottom Edge Bordering on Netting Panels
5/16" Weighted-Rope Bottom Border installed on netting. This is a bordering type in which the bottom edge of the netting has a weighted-rope installed, and the remaining sides/top edges are rope bordered. Weighted-rope is laced through the meshes of the bottom edge, and then hand-sewn with periodic clove hitch knots to the net. This is a 5/16" Braided Nylon/Polypropylene rope with a segmented weight core. Weighs approximately 1 lb. per 10' lineal ft. and is useful to weigh the net down.
When installed on diamond mesh netting the remaining sides and top edges are 5/16" Braided Polyester Rope Bordered. Rope is laced through the edge meshes and then hand-sewn with periodic clove hitch knots to the perimeter of the net. This is a 5/16" Soft Braided 16-Strand 2x2 100% Polyester Rope, with a 2800 lb. breaking strength and less than 3% stretch at break. Hand-sewn to the netting with nylon twine.
When installed on square mesh netting the remaining sides and top edges are 5/16" Braided Polyester Rope Bordered, machine-sewn to the edges of the mesh. This is a 5/16" Soft Braided 16-Strand 2x2 100% Polyester Rope, with a 2800 lb. breaking strength and less than 3% stretch at break. Machine-sewn to the netting with polyester twine.
