Individual Components for Fibreglass and Carbon-Fibre Nets

To obtain a complete net, choose:

1. The type of handle;
2. The stainless steel ring (hoop) that matches the connector on the handle;
3. The net bag that relates to the ring (hoop);
4. The carrying case for the ring is an optional extra.

Or refer to the other product pages showing the Fibreglass and Carbon-Fibre complete nets.

Foldable Handles are available either in fibreglass or carbon-fibre.

The fibreglass handles are slightly heavier than that of carbon-fibre, however the fibreglass is a much sturdier material. It is therefore less likely to crack if the handle smacks against a hard surface, e.g. rock/tree trunk.

The fibreglass handle is also much less conductive than the carbon-fibre type, making it safer to be used where there are electrical wires (although obviously we recommend you avoid electrical wires in any case). Both fibreglass and carbon-fibre handles can only be used when fully extended.

Assembling instructions

How to Secure Net Ring to the Connector Properly:

1. Screw the cap on, but not all the way;
2. Thread ends of steel net ring into the gap and make sure bends in net ring are pointing out;
3. Tighten cap while holding base;
4. Ensure cap is tight by pushing net ring against a solid base while further tightening cap.

How to Fold the Hoop:

The steel spring net ring can be folded by twisting the top of the ring and the knob in opposite directions. As you twist, the ring starts to collapse into a three dimensional U. By forcing the top two edges of the U to overlap, the ring is collapsed into three sections. The folded ring can be locked into position by wrapping the bag around the ring.
