Net hammocks for fruit or veg storage

[lukedh]

You could try a Garden Centre, look for fruit netting used to keep birds off soft fruit.

On the rig we have net laundry bags, quite a few now onboard....ahem! But they are available, from suppliers. Try a google.

I have a few Beaver divers' goody bags, which are strong, rotproof and ideal for stowing warps and items of running rigging. I could butcher one of these I suppose, but them I am basically back with just netting and a diy job.

I think I'll investigate the toy hammocks suggestions.

Thanks to all.

Several of the chandlers have them, including Force 4 - they call them storage hammocks, galley section, product code: 890159. £5.95.

I bought a couple of string bags to use for that, off ebay...

Like these.

Any ideas?

Got some excellent ones from Aldi or Lidly - cant remember which. They were being sold as storage bags for cars so maybe try Halfords.

Thanks to ukmtc and Salty John for the Force 4 steer. Funny, I went there and must have used the wrong searchwords on their site.

These seem to be close to what I am looking for - going to order one, then maybe a few more, if they fit the bill.

Pretty sure that ikea stock, or used to stock a small net hammock, used to be in the childrens area. Might be worth a look.

Quite right! Buy a ball of string and make the net to fit

A good winter evening project

+1. Making net is not very hard; basically is is simply tying a lot of sheet-bends!

OK for you, sitting in a hut in the Antarctic. I have better things to do, even though I do posess a couple of netting needles and know all about sheet bends.

I sought a replacement cabin light from F4's useless search engine. I knew they stocked it , but I never found it.
Mention "light" and you get anything lightweight inc Duvets.
Mention "lamp" you get all the "clamps" inc outboards & barbecues.
"Cabin" came up with dross too.

I went to their shop in the end. Its an "interior light". Obvious innit.

Terrible isn't it. It's a wonder they ever sell anything.

Try the multi-tiered soft toy holder from Ikea. We cut one down into two and it's the perfect size for hanging in corners, very soft net which doesn't cut into soft fruit and veg.

One or two to choose from here

Regrettably, not sitting in a hut in Antarctica - firmly based in Cambridge. And now also on the retired list!
