QWhat are the best nets on the market for hide building? There are so many different ones to choose from.
AAndy Crow replies: I have used military surplus scrim nets for many years and still do, but I also use modern ‘stealth’ nets that allow you to see out without birds seeing in.
I see nets as layers – I rarely use only one. And I have a selection of colours: dark green, light green and sandy. This allows me to build into summer rape, stubbles or even an evergreen hedgerow. I blend different colour nets together and use local foliage to complete the look.
