Bigger is Better!
Triple High Forest Filter Mist Nets.
The portable Forest Filter mist net system consists of poles and associated hardware capable of creating a huge mist net 24' (7.3m) tall. To remove a bat or bird from the top net, a pulley system is used to carefully collapse the nets until the animal can be reached. The nets can be raised and lowered by a single net attendant. Each tier of every net can be individually adjusted in seconds for any bag overlap desired. In addition, the system can be used as a sturdy, easy to use double high net set. Simply eliminate some of the poles and use the top net carriers when adding nets. The system can be expanded to create quad-high or even 5-high if desired.

This net set and very similar versions have been assembled over 2,500 times (as of 11/07) since 2001 by a number of different people of all levels of experience. The procedure has been refined so one careful person can set it up, and anyone can very quickly tear it down. Once trained, allow at least 30 minutes to an hour to properly install, string, and initially tension the net set. An experienced manager will delegate several assembly tasks at once to assistants, cutting time to 15 minutes. For super fast setups, remove the nets, place the still assembled poles on a proper vehicle's roof rack, and transport to your next site. Full rigging instructions included in the manual. Demonstrated at the annual Bat Conservation International Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Kentucky Bat Conservation and Management Workshops since 2003.
