Why You Should Border Your Netting (end)
Here our guys have put a rope border across the top of the net and they have laced some twine through the meshes and tied knots so that there are exactly the correct number of meshes per foot, in order to hold the diamond shape.
The netting looks great along the top, but there's nothing to hold the sides or bottom in straight lines, so the netting angles toward the middle.

With a border on the top AND the bottom, those edges have the correct spacing, but you can see a distinct hourglass shape happening on the sides. Look at the "X" that leads through the middle of the piece to the corners.

This is the the way a panel of netting should look. Our boys have a square piece of netting capable of withstanding a baseball or golf ball impact. They have rope tails leading from the corners of this piece of netting for easy fastening to any frame they choose. Good work, guys!
