Robbell Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I use it for forestry commission jobs they came up with a spec years ago spring steel below, mild steel net, then 2 ss plains above. the 2 ss wires above and below are lashed to the net with lashing rods (pig tails). ss wire can not be bent and tied so they are joined and fastened off with pre formed connectors. the spec is poof given that wire has moved on over the last 50 years but the FC still like professor trout's (or was it Fish's) spec and wont move on.
