Netting

In a net comprising at least one strand, the improvement wherein at at least the majority of netting strand intersections located inwardly of the edge of the net, there are at least two intersecting netting strand length portions and each of such two strand length portions includes a hole through the body thereof through which the body of the other of them passes, said holes being spaced apart and said strands each being angled back on itself so that each of said strands contacts the other strand in the area between said holes.

In a net comprising at least one strand, the improvement wherein at at least the majority of netting strand intersections located inwardly of the edge of the net, there are at least first and second intersecting netting strand length portions and each of such strand length portions includes a hole through the body thereof through which the body of the other of them passes, said holes being spaced apart and said strand portions each being angled back on itself to form a lead-in section leading into said intersection and a lead-out section leading out of said intersection, said intersecting strand portions being arranged at said intersection so that said first strand lead-in section is essentially parallel to said second strand lead-out section and said first strand lead-out section is generally parallel to said second strand lead-in section.

A method of making a net using a plurality of intersecting strands wherein at at least one intersection there are two said strands which are joined together by providing a hole through the body of each of them, and threading a first one of said strands as a body through the hole in the second of said strands, arranging said strands so that the hole through said second strand is spaced apart from the hole in said first strand, angling each of said strands back on itself, threading said second strand as a body through the hole through said first strand, and drawing said strands together until said spaced apart holes are located immediately adjacent each other and said strands contact each other in the area between said holes to form a secure non-slip junction between said two strands.

A net comprising:

• a border defining cord defining a net border;
• a plurality of net strands, said net strands intersecting each other to form a plurality of net strand intersections located inwardly of said net border, a majority of said inwardly located intersections each including a pair of intersecting strand portions with each one of said pair of intersecting strand portions having a hole defined through the body thereof through which the other one of said pair of intersecting strand portions passes as a body, said holes being spaced apart and said strands each being angled back on itself so that each of said strands contacts the other strand in the area between the holes;
• each net strand of said intersecting net strands having a medial portion intersecting said border defining cord at a first location so that said each net strand is divided into two portions with each portion extending in a zig-zag manner from said first location across said net to intersect said border cord at a second location, each one of said portions intersecting the other portion and portions of adjacent ones of said plurality of net strands in an alternating manner.
