STOP NET

20 Yard Stop Net
Description: 
The 20 yard stop net is made from 40 yards of net strung on 20 yard lines. The top line is 2mm braided polypropylene, the bottom line is leaded polypropylene line.
The fixed end poles are the same as in the Fast Set System, each net has 2 fixed poles, one at each end and a third loose pole with an open loop in the top. This is placed in the top line of the net between both end poles. The bottom of the pole is pushed into the ground without being fixed to the bottom line.
The leaded line on one end pole will slide to the middle of the pole and no further.

Use: 
The 20 yard stop net is ideally suited for use when ferreting open hedges, gateways, and  working rough areas and brambles with dogs. If you are ferreting a really thick hedge that possibly has fencing on both sides or stock/ barbed wire, then this is impossible to purse net.

Take a 20 yard stop net and place at right angles from the hedge several yards beyond the end of the bury. Place another net opposite on the other side of the hedge. Where the bury ends, further along the hedge, place two more nets as the first two.  Then take a thick polythene bag, something like a peat bag, and push it into the middle of the hedge, a few yards nearer to the bury than the stop net. You can also use for this purpose a thin plywood board approximately 1 foot high.

As the rabbits run down the hedge and observe these obstructions they will then leave the hedge bottom and run parallel to the hedge and be caught in the stop nets. You can then “leapfrog” along the hedge moving two nets at a time as you ferret your way along.

Setting a stop net  
  • Undo securing string that holds net in bag.

  • Undo elasticated string which secures poles together for carrying.

  • Place unmarked pole into the ground firmly, take second
  • fixed pole (with white marker) in right hand, hold left hand loosely over hanks of net looped over the pole.

  • Walk backwards slowly letting hanks of net slip off pointed end of pole.

  • When all of the loose net is off this pole pull lines tight, place pole firmly in ground, take the third loose pole and support the middle of the net with it.
  • Picking up a stop net  

  • Take the third loose pole out of the net.

  • Take fixed end pole with white marker out of the ground, slide bottom leaded line to the middle of the pole.

  • Hold the middle of the pole with your right hand, with your left hand pinch top and bottom line together a full arms length away from your right hand, letting loose net hang down you then take the point of the pole and threadle it between both lines and selve edge mesh. Feed his along the pole until it reaches your right hand so it can be held in place with this hand.

  • Repeat this procedure as you walk along the net. You then take the pole that is still in the ground, out of the ground, and lay it alongside the picking up pole.
  • Then take the elasticated string, slide loop over both pointed ends of poles until it reaches the middle of the poles cross underneath the poles bring out on top of the poles and tie a bow knot.
  • You should now have two poles tied tightly together and hanks of net hanging approx 3 feet from the middle underside of the poles.

  • Take third ( loose) pole and lay alongside first and second pole. Drop net into the net bag, pull securing strings tight, bring over the top of the poles and secure with a bow knot. Undo securing string that holds net in bag.
