Webbing Nets are woven out of 1" or 2" wide strapping and designed to the
shape of your net opening. Because of the strength of the strapping
used, Webbing Nets are the strongest of all the nets we manufacture.
Webbing Nets made with polyester webbing are 5 to 10 times stronger
than any of the mesh or open net materials. You can read below for

webbing net to order.
Webbing Nets are woven out of 1" or 2" wide strapping and designed
to the shape of your net opening. Because of the strength of the strapping
used, Webbing Nets are the strongest & most stable underfoot of all the
nets we manufacture and are considered expedition grade. Webbing Nets made
with polyester webbing are 5 to 10 times stronger than any of the mesh or
open net materials. ****Because of their extreme strength, stability, &
durability our webbing nets are almost always the best option for heavy
use day charters taking large groups of people out multiple times a day.
Depending on materials selected we warranty them for up to 8 years even
in commercial use and our customers routinely get 10-15 years in extremely
heavy commercial use applications. The nets are also re-coatable with our
UV protective coating to freshen them up.*****
Our Webbing Nets are diagonally woven without a sewn on border. This
creates a continuous weave (no visible ends) with a series of webbing
loops around the perimeter of the net. This is the strongest possible
attachment system as the stress is transferred directly from the webbing
to the lacing. Because of the diagonal weave the holes sizes within the webbing nets will vary.
This variance is minimal on rectangle shape nets and increases as the shape deviates from a rectangle.
The Installation
pages have more information on Webbing Net attachment.
There is a choice of hole sizes within the Webbing
Nets. The Openness
page on the Technical Info section of this site has more information.
To compare the different hole sizes, you can open a pdf file, using the button
below, showing the 4 different hole sizes available on a 1" webbing net.
When printing the file out be
sure that the "fit to page" or "shrink to paper size" option
in the print dialog box is Not Selected, so that the page prints
to an accurate scale.

1" White Polyester
Polyester is an excellent netting material due to its high strength,
low stretch, and dimensional stability. For these nets we use
a 1" wide single ply white polyester webbing which has a 5,000
lb breaking strength. We generally make these nets with average hole
sizes of 1", 1-1/2", 2" & 2-1/2", with 1-1/2" and 2" being the most common.
All of the intersections on the 1" Webbing Nets are heat welded, creating
a strong bond and eliminating the need for stitching throughout the net.

1" Vinyl Coated Polyester
The 1" polyester webbing nets can be vinyl coated in any of
16 colors. This is a durable, flexible, non-fading coating applied
to both sides of the net in several coats. The coating makes the
nets look better, stay cleaner, and more UV resistant (the warranty
period for this net is 6 years). This is really the finest net
for offshore cruising, it is strong, comfortable, open, and durable.
If made with an average hole size of 2" the net will have an openness
of 50% which is good for any weather conditions encountered on
most cruising multihulls.

2" 3Ply Black
3Ply Webbing Nets are the strongest and most durable of all the nets
with a center ply of white polyester webbing completely protected by webbing above and below.
The outer ply's on the Black 3Ply are of black polypropylene which does not fade.
This net maintains its appearance well, as most stains and
dirt will not show on the black webbing. This is the webbing we
have successfully been putting on day charter boats in the Caribbean
for many years. It has proven to be extremely durable in the toughest
conditions. We make this net with 2", 2-1/2" or 3" average hole
sizes for a moderate openness. As on all 2" wide webbing Nets
all of the intersections are stitched with Heavy PTFE thread. This
net has an 6 year warranty period.
