Material Selection
- Nylon offers the best overall strength and UV protection over the life of a cage net and can easily be customized to fit any needs. It is, however, generally more expensive when compared with other materials.
- High-Tenacity Polypropylene (HTPP) is less expensive than nylon with good strength and UV stability, but is available in only a few standard sizes.
- High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a cost-effective alternative to other options and is often available in multiple standard sizes.
Construction
Twisted Knotted Vs. Braided Knotless
- There is much debate as to which method of netting construction is better. Often it simply boils down to the “best option” being whatever a supplier has available to them. Based on our experience, we have found that both types can provide a quality long-lasting cage as long as the raw materials and fabrication methods are held to a high standard.
