Post Rubber netting or fencing for blind
I've been using 1" square lawn netting to hang over the sides of my boat blind to which I secure my fast grass panels. It works ok but tends to curl up. I'm looking for some kind of rubber netting that will hang over the sides nicely and with a little more mass. Kind of like rubber floor matting but a little lighter. Any suggestions?

if you could get that orange plastic netting they put around holes and stuff on construction sites that would be legit... idk if u can get it in black or green.

You can buy enough volleyball net at academy to do darn near two boats and its like twelve bucks. Pretty stout netting too.

This is what I used, and I will never use that plastic or metal chicken wire crap again. This stuff is WAY more durable, cheaper and it actually folds flat if you have a fold down blind.

I got the green of course.

Only thing that has really ever worked well for me.

Why not go to army surplus and get the camo netting?

Go to Touchard's in Delcambre. You can buy bulk net material by the foot.

Regular netting vs rubber/vinyl netting: gets caught on everything vs not

Green garden fencing from home depot works the best. Cheap too. Thanks for the advice.

I used a company called just for nets. They custom make netting for all applications and at any thickness and to your specific measurements. It also has a very strong nylon rope boarder, and spring clips at all four corners.

Post Re: Rubber netting or fencing for blind
I just started replacing the material for my blind today so it still looks rough, but I put construction netting on the base layer. I got it at Home Depot in 25 foot rolls. I put burlap over the netting and camo netting with grass over that. I really like the construction netting!
