D Net/Aquatic Handle

ATTACHING THE D-NET TO THE POLE

You will notice that this D-Net does not come with a handle. We are into reusing, so you will have to find a handle. Take any old mop, broom, rake, or other handle and saw off the wooden part as close to the mop, etc as you can. Lay the wooden pole on the ground and with a chisel or large screwdriver break out grooves that are as long as the exposed iron on the net. Make the groove wide enough to hold the iron. Repeat this on the opposite side of the wooden pole.

Placing the wooden pole in a vise and drilling two grooves on opposite sides might also accomplish this groove making process.

Now attach the net to the pole by placing the exposed iron ends in the pole grooves and lowering the hose clamp over both. Using a screwdriver, tighten the hose clamp. Move the net so that the iron is well positioned in the two groves and continue to tighten the clamp.

You may also find that another clamp might be needed to hold the net firmly. That will depend on the size of the pole and how deep you have made the grooves. The clamp will also work loose with use so you have to carry a screwdriver to the field or tighten the clamp before going out. This net is inexpensive but affective. Be sure to dry the net well after use because mildew will attack the net cloth. Place in a dry location, out of the sun, after use.
