CUT TO ORDER KNOTLESS NETTING
Knotted Netting Pros | Knotless Netting Pros |
---|---|
Available in a variety of mesh sizes, cord diameters, and tensile strengths | Light and easy to handle |
Strong and durable making it an excellent choice for sporting applications and fall protection | Smooth to the touch and unabrasive |
Easy to repair | Visually appealing and available in a variety of mesh sizes, cord diameters, breaking points, and colors |
Dependable and unlikely to break because of the rigidness of the knots | Cost-effective |
Knotted Netting Cons | Knotless Netting Cons |
Knots can be rough to the touch | Not as easy to repair if damaged |
Not as visually appealing as knotless | May not provide the strength needed in certain situations depending on the material chosen and mesh size |
Material Guide
Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer that was first developed in 1954. It’s characterized by its high resistance to chemical degradation and its low density. Polypropylene is often used in netting because it’s lightweight and durable. One downside of polypropylene is its relatively low melting point, making it challenging to work with in extreme environments.
Polyester
Polyester is a synthetic polymer. It is strong, elastic, and resistant to UV light and abrasion. Polyester is often used in netting because it’s cost efficient and has a lower coefficient of friction. One downside of polyester is that it’s more likely to stretch over time.
Polyethylene
Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer. This material does very well both indoors and outdoors and retains its pliability even in cold weather as it is weather, UV, and crack resistant. It is softer than polypropylene and because of its ductility, it can withstand forceful impacts without losing its shape
