The first hoop placed three (3) feet from the second frame and the remaining four (4) hoops approximately two (2) feet apart. D) IMPORTANT - all terminal, overhand, anti-backout knots need to be cinched down directly against the previous knot such that the terminal overhand knot will not snag on mesh. E). MESH - One-(1”) inch square (bar measure) knotted nylon netting, (king type) or equivalent, 125-pound test. Mesh to be tied so as to suspend from hoops and frames using size 21 tarred nylon twine.
