tanshi, what do you want, I can get "string" in just about any size you want, I'm an ex commercial fisherman, and all my mates are still there, netting is generally nylon, and from any inch size you want, and thickness.
Very common is 150mm by 6mm. (around 350lb breaking strain) This is streched length, so its around 106mm square.
I can get smaller, bigger, whatever you want.

We used to use trawl nets cause they are so cheap, strong and can be zipped tied on to anything.
go the green so it doesn't interfier (sp) with your periferal ( out the corner of your eye) vision

Green is generally polypropylene or polyethylene, a much weaker material than nylon.
But, if you use trawl, its usually pretty heavy shit.
I can get trawl, set, static, poly, nylon, white, blue, red, black, your call.
Just the shipping price is all.

Its a dead easy way of doing things, as net makers go, its a poor substitute for quality.

Sounds like a good idea, would have liked to get one of those ones with the string netting rather than the webbing to get better visuals
