Designing a Net Fall (?) Trap
Posted on 11/9/11 at 2:16 pm
Posted on 11/9/11 at 2:16 pm
Hey Guys,
First off, I'm not looking to actually catch anything, its mainly for show but needs to be operational.
I need some pointers on building a Net Fall Trap ( IDK wtf to call it
). I have a decent sized 10x10 Cargo Net made of heavy rope. I need to suspend the net in mid air and be release via trip wire. Links, pics, etc etc are extremely helpful. I will be suspending this net trap in the woods by a creek and I need to know everything... How high to suspend? How much rope for the trip wire is Fishing String involved? PVC piping?
I've probably watched 10 video on youtube that only show the net being placed on the ground with a counterweight or snare. I need the net to be suspended.. tripped... then dropped.
I would greatly appreciate any advice from you guys on how to build such a trap
TIA

Its really for a TV show.. I cant say what where how when, .. But being involved in certain ways, that I also can not mention, I am the one to build, I must build it... "it" will come.. realistically though.. yeah its for a TV show promo. Being sent to big wig network execs. We're filming in 4-5 locations (if time allows) over this next weekend. Some guys are getting flown in from various parts of the country. We just need a working net fall trap. I think if this net fell on a person it would knock them clean out. I bet the most we catch is a raccoon though

raccoon+cargo net+big wig network execs=this will not end well.

Have two guys on ladders throw it over them.
But seriously, I dunno, sounds a little complicated.

What if the trip wire pulled four pins that hold the net up? Could rig it with some kind of bungee cord action so they all pull out at once and it drops clean maybe?

Ok Ive got it figured out 
I'm going to mix an A snare and reverse a counter weight.

Dude we are going to need pics and update for this project. I understand if the pics can;t get out yet but you need to keep us in the loop.
you idea may just work but remember the roadrunner is fast so don't set it up to high. good luck Wylie C.
