US Patent 7892377 Dimensionally stable horticultural netting

A method of manufacturing a raschel knit net having square meshes is provided. The method consists of providing a raschel knit net having diamond meshes, and cutting diagonally across the net from selvedge to selvedge. Multiple pieces of cut net are rotated and aligned, selvedge to selvedge, such that the meshes are square shaped with the mesh strands running generally lengthwise and widthwise. The aligned selvedges are then joined together, creating a net having square meshes, such that the dimensions of the net are fixed lengthwise and widthwise. The joined selvedges create a dimensional control portion extending diagonally between lengthwise edges of the net.
