Mist net poles that take a trashing. Say good-bye to conduit, bamboo, wood, etc. Dutifully we set out starting with aluminum shafts featuring wooden pegs for stacking. Easy to build at a campsite (which a lot of them were), had seamless connectors, and worked great except for when the wooden pegs would swell slightly when wet, causing many afternoons to be (literally) whittled away. Later we tried using some electrical conduit with all its wonderful connectors to avoid our wooden problems, but it turns out that conduit should really just be used for conduit. You can't slide the net loops over the pole connectors, and conduit is HEAVY. Other material like bamboo can't be stacked into a doube high, and since bamboo doesn't come apart, good luck reaching the top mainline on a single high net. So it turns out there is a reason why 36'' stackable poles have proved most worthy...everything else is less versitile or just plain sucks. So midway through that summer we broke down, started over, and made our own all metal poles with CNC machined ends. We decided up front we would use for less expensive material instead of trying to make them featherweight, since rarely would we net several days' hike from a road and sometimes they are used to whack brush down. After beating on these poles for a few years, we felt they have stood up to enough of our abuse and can now be available to fellow bat and bird netters. Please note that we sell poles individually instead of packs, as people prefer to build their own configurations. A set of 6 poles will only cost $114.00. Keep the following facts in mind: How many mist net poles do I need? If you want to set one (1) free-standing double high mist net you will need 2 Bottoms and 8 Tops. If you want to set triple high mist nets AKA the type of net required for Indiana bat clearance surveys, these poles are too thin for that kind of span. See our clever Forest Filter mist net system that delivers a 3H wall of net in 15 minutes. Mist net pole specifications Single "Bottom" or "Top" Pole Bag Pole Rope |
