What does knotless mean compared with knotted netting?

The strands are interlocked rather than tied, so there are no knots at the mesh corners. That gives a smoother surface that will not catch on fur, claws or fins, and the net lies flatter.

How is it sold and how much do I get?

It comes on a 72-inch-wide roll and is sold by the linear foot. Each foot you order gives a piece 72 inches wide and one foot long.

Is it strong enough for a pond cover?

It works as a leaf and heron barrier over a pond, but it is light polyester mesh, not a load-bearing net. Support it across spans and do not rely on it to hold weight.

Can I use it for an aviary or bird netting?

Yes, the soft knotless mesh is a common choice for aviary and bird netting. Note that half-inch mesh will not stop very small birds or insects.

How do I stop the cut edges from fraying?

Seal cut edges with a hot knife or lighter, or bind them with tape or fabric. Polyester melts rather than unravels when heat-sealed.

Will it hold up outdoors?

Polyester resists rot and moisture, so it lasts outdoors. Keep it out of prolonged direct sun where possible, since UV exposure eventually weakens synthetic netting.
