ABC Mist Nets

ADVANTAGES:
• The quality and efficiency of our nets are result from more than 30 years of experience.
• All our nets are made from the highest quality nylon and polyester netting. Most are made
of Japanese netting, except for a few specialised models, such as the strongest series 2000.
• All our nets are black, UV protected; the material and colours are durable and long-lasting.
• The special knots used in our nets help to prevent the loops and shelf strings from moving.
• The construction with positioning strings prevent wind shift of the netting.
• Each net come with Ecotone cotton made bag.

NEW LOOPS:
• From 2009 our net's loops are marked with an indelible serial number and
the company’s name to help control quality and to track nets used illegally.
• The serial number is placed on one of the colour loops and on the product
label as well.
• Our new mist nets loops are longer and stronger than previously used.
• Top loops are colour-coded and equipped with stoppers
to make fast setting easier.
• New loops are designed to be used especially
with our Mist Net Poles.

MAIN FEATURES:
• Net dimensions: length without loops and stretched to a standard tension, height and number
of shelves are shown in the table.
• The thickness, visibility and strength of the nets is indicated by the denier (a unit of weight
for fibres) and the number of fibres used in the netting. So 70denier/2-ply netting is lighter
and thinner than 110d/2-ply netting, and 210d/2-ply is thinner than 210d/3-ply netting.
• Mesh size is measured by one side of the squared mesh - „16 mm” refers to a 16x16 mm mesh.
• Nets of up to three shelves are tethered on a single shelf strand to prevent wind bunching the
netting. Nets with four or five shelves feature two tethered strands.
