Galvanised 44 Drum bands....

[netmaker]

Hello everyone,i just thought i'd put this out there & see what happens.I'm after as many heavy duty galvanized 44gallon drum bands as i can get.Not the flimsey ones but the sturdy ones.If any of you members work in a field were you can get access to them,well i'd like to work out some sort of arrangement.Yes i do make craynets out of them.

I use polyetherlyne net twine (Professional Prawn net twine.)
I buy my material from N.S.W (Haverfords.com)

But if any members have some frames & would like some nets sewn in,i'm negotiable sew some nets.
With cray season not that far away,i'm willing to sew away.
I'm based in Wunghnu,Cheer's Murph......

G'day fish99,yes have done that in the past but too light,these galv bands i speak of are heavier & stronger,all in all more durable to comply with the mesh i sew in,much obliged for your reply,cheer's Murph.....

G'day netmaker, i can get hold of painted mild steel ones, 2mm thick (approx 5 a fortnight) if they are any good to you. Let me know and i can drop a couple off at the shop or somewhere for you to have a look at if you want,they only go in the re-cycle skip at work. i'm up through that way a bit as i have a mate in waaia.
