These are Three of the Most Common Ways to Hang Nets:
-
Over 1/2
- 250 to 300 yards of netting per 100 yards net.
-
1/2 Basis
- 200 yards of netting per 100 yards net.
-
1/3 Basis
- 150 yards of netting per 100 yards net.

Sports
nets and fish seines are usually hung on 1/3 Basis while most gill
(fishing) nets are hung on 1/2 Basis or over 1/2.
The same
mesh depth netting will yield less depth when hung on 1/3 Basis. The
charts shown below will show you how deep a net you will get if you
hang on
1/2 Basis
or
1/3 Basis.

HOW TO READ CHART:
Example: to hang 6 ft. deep, net of 2" square mesh - Use
27 mesh deep webbing. |
The
following formula will tell you how long your ties should be to hang
on 1/3 Basis, 1/2 Basis or over 1/2.
- Multiply the
stretched mesh size times the number of mesh you wish to put on
each tie. This will give you the total distance these mesh will
stretch.
- If you wish to
hang on 1/3 Basis, mulitply this by .66 to get your tie length..
- If you wish to
hang on 1/2 Basis, multiply this by .50 to get your tie length.
- If you wish to
hang on over 1/2, multiply this by .33 to get your tie length.
Example:
3" sq. mesh = 6" str. mesh
8 mesh per tie
6" x
8" = 48" is the total distance the 8 mesh will reach.
48 x .66 = 32" ties for 1/3 Basis
48 x .50 = 24" ties for 1/2 Basis
48 x .33 = 16" ties for over 1/2
