Coconut Shy netting
Options

Hi all. I've built a coconut shy for use at a wedding but am looking for some white netting (About 2m x 3m). The balls are very light (Balsa Wood) and about 4inches across so I'm looking for some light duty fairly big holed net.
It's just to stop balls pinging over and smashing a glass of bubbly in someones hand!
Does anyone have any ideas? I've found some sports netting places on line but they charge £10+ for delivery and ideally I want to get this all for less than £10 :money:

Why not get ordinary netting from a DIY shop?
£6 from Homebase. It's green not white and it's 4m x 2m but I'm sure you can fold it over if it's too big.

Thanks for the advice. I found some in the end. I like the look of that net but it was too fine and stretchy. I want it to look like an old school PE lesson kind of net if that makes sense.

Perfect, cheap and delivered within 28 hours which was fantastic. Got the 2m x 4m net delivered for £11.28. Happy.0
