Authentic Used Fishing Net Back in the 90s and early 2000s, a commercial fisherman got approximately 2 years use from a fish net before acquiring a new one. Some fishermen still use this style netting today because it is very durable. The used net was then stored in old gear piles or shanties. I reclaim the nets and cut, clean, and package it myself. It is a long, tedious process and requires a crew of helpers, as a commercial net is approx. 1500 ft long, 50 ft wide and weighs over 4000 lbs. This is quality net made from super strong nylon and is not like the cheaper cotton net that you see in party stores. This netting is great for nautical themed parties, creative interior designs, outdoor patio & garden use, sea life & shell displays, restaurant decor, kid's rooms and wall hangings. It can also be used in seafood restaurants, churches, schools, and waterparks. The possibilities are endless. The Nautical Place is the pioneer in offering authentic used fish net shipped directly to your door and we have the widest range of sizes available online. ***I also have listings with other sizes available. The sizes listed are the only sizes I have available at this time. As I get more nets in to be cut, I will be listing other sizes*** *Quantity: 1*Measures: (please select size)*Color: brown or black (shades vary)*Any netting not marked "Black" will be the neutral brown color.*Material: knotted or knotless nylon, super strong & will not rip or tear*Mesh (size of holes): measures 1” when measured as a diamond and 3/4” when measured as a square*This netting has been cleaned and does not smell*Netting can be cut and will not unravel*Sold exclusively by The Nautical Place **Different kinds of net: (also see pics)** Knotted: Knotted netting is knotted on all four corners of a square mesh for durability. This netting typically has more flex than the knotless which suits better for decorating purposes. Knotless: Knotless netting is joined together by a machine using a textile stitching technique without having knots. This makes the netting a little stronger than the knotted. It also has less flex which makes it more suitable for use as golf backstops, batting cages, covering ponds, slow feeding, or protecting your garden, etc. This is also great for decorating purposes. Heavy: Any netting marked “Heavy” is a knotted netting that is made with thicker twine and therefore makes it stronger. It also stands out more when used for decorating. There is no heavy option for knotless netting. Note: We get these in full size nets and cut, clean, & package them to the best of our ability. We try to cut around all of the cuts & tears but occasionally one will slip through. This gives the net character and that genuine nautical feel. However if you do receive a net with a small hole or tear and are not satisfied, simply return it and we will send you a new one. Note: I see some sellers using my photos and descriptions to sell their items. I invest a lot of time in my listings and it is not fair. That being said, all of my listings will have the background that you see in my pictures. It is my sunroom and I take all of the photos you see. I also try to incorporate my logo in my pictures which you will also see. Unfortunately I cannot do much about lazy sellers using my description but all you are reading here is my description. If you see these pictures or one that is altered to remove my logo from another seller, please let me know. Thank you.
