Repair of nets

Damages of nets have to be repaired immediately. 
For repair, rupture nets can be closed by glue or sewing, new net parts can be insert or the net can be exchanged.

Small test series with different tapes and glues showed the time damand of net repair.
Strong adhesive duct tape was the easiest to work with and can be used for small holes in net. At correct use, silicon like glues can be used for bigger holes.

However, avoiding damage is always a priority.
