How to join section of netting to make one large net?

Hi all

I recently bought a large roll of scaffold debris netting to help protect my brassicas and berries. It's only 2m wide and so two, three, or maybe even four sections will need to be fixed together to form nets large enough to cover the areas.

I'm hoping to do this once now and then re-use the nets each year.

The only thing to have sprung to mind so far is stitching. If that is to be the best method, what kind of thread would be best?

Or are there other easier and quicker options?

Many thanks

What about Cable ties

 

Or plant ties

 

Another semi-permanent solution would be to stitch using nylon fishing line. Would be a fiddle though and cable ties as Jiffy suggested might be easier.

 

I think you're right - cable ties might be my easiest option. Great idea!

For those who have used cable ties successfully....

1. At what kind of interval spacing do you use them?

2. Do you literally join the ends of the sheets of netting, or do you create and overlap and then put the ties through both sheets?

3. One more thing... The debris netting I have is 2m wide. Along the middle of it at the 1m point, there is a join which creates a wider gaps. Not sure yet whether the gaps will be large enough for butterflies to get through, but was a bit annoyed to see it. Does all debris netting have such gaps?

Huge thanks as ever for all the helpful replies. Really appreciate it.

 

bear in mind that whatever you decide to use will have to be approximately the same strenght of the netting fibres otherwise it will either 1) tear the netting or 2) break/come loose and the net will open again.
