Tips For Fixing A Net?

Recommended Posts

While I was shooting on my net today, I ripped a slapper and managed to put a hole in my net. I don't think the hole is big enough to justify buying some new netting just yet, but it's just big enough to annoy me. Anyone got any ideas on patching it up?

I use an old piece of lace to just re-tie the netting. A good tip that they tell you at the referee seminars is to use a few 'zip-ties' as they are pretty durable and will hold tight.

Does anyone know where I could get the netting that they use on ice hockey nets? I'm not sure if anyone has noticed by the netting for street hockey nets has way bigger meashing.

I use zip ties as well, but hitting them directly on can snap them. However, I use the black ones because they're UV resistant, and in theory should last longer.

I have some extra cord used to string the net on (cheapie net). I tie the hole up then melt it with a match; otherwise it comes undone. You can prolly buy thin nylon cord/rope easily.

Duct Tape! And Gardening Wire! When I was younger and we played street hockey everyday of the summer for 4 years straight, we had the same net all 4 years ,never changed it. And it was a wimpy one from walmart! We also played with pucks! I'll try to get a pic. up soon! :lol:

Wire ties come in tests like fishing line so make usre you get something around 70lb. test or higher. They will hold up better.
