Polymeric netting of strands and first and second ribbons and methods of making the same

A polymeric netting comprising first and second polymeric ribbons and polymeric strands, each of the first and second polymeric ribbons and polymeric strands having a length and width, wherein the length is the longest dimension and the width is the shortest dimension, wherein the first and second polymeric ribbons each independently have a height-to-width aspect ratio of at least three to one, a major surface that is intermittently bonded to a polymeric strand, with a center line bisecting the major surface and first and second edges symmetrically disposed on opposite sides of the center line, wherein the polymeric netting has first and second opposing major surfaces transverse to the major surfaces of the first and second polymeric ribbons, wherein the first major surface of the polymeric netting comprises the first edges of the first polymeric ribbons, wherein the second major surface comprises the second edges of the second polymeric ribbons, wherein the first polymeric ribbons do not extend to the second major surface of the polymeric netting, and wherein the second polymeric ribbons do not extend to the first major surface of the polymeric netting.
