Authentic Nautical Fish Net - Decorative Use 5' X 10' New

We ordered 12 of these and I was expecting a "fake" fish net, maybe made of string that looked similar to the real thing... What I got was what looked to be authentic fish nets made of nylon that looks and feels VERY real and strong. Super cool! In fact one of the nets had a paper tag that looked like it was manufactured as a real fish net. Although all 12 were not completely identical, they were all very similar in color and feel and look GREAT! I couldn't be more pleased with this product!

If you are looking for a quality decorative net, this is it! I was initially surprised at how well constructed this was. I use it for photo shoots and it has held up extremely well. Yes, it does have a bit of an odor, but it dissipates over a short period. I never found it to be much of a problem at all.

Cool look, but kinda smelly at first. I almost wondered if it was used at one point??? Maybe it is just because that's the way authentic nets smell and aren't made differently if used for decoration? Smell seems to have gotten better though.

A sturdy decorative net that has been moved a couple of different places in the house in the past few years and still looks new and is holding up beautifully. It is in the sun room now, and we hang the fake wasp nests on it in the winter to keep them out of the rain -- they look a little like Japanese paper lanterns on the wall. The net is perfect for that and just for adding texture to the wall during the summer. We love it.

This is real fishing net, not imitation "made to look like the really thing". I needed something to drape and secure over my 4th floor terrace so that my cat could enjoy the terrace with me without sticking his curious head through the railing and get a crazy idea to jump to the next terrace. I'm in South Florida, so the fishing net is decoratively appropriate. I slid pieces of sea glass in the netting in a few places ... looks really nice.

Use to tie rafts to the pontoon, in true redneck fashion.

The description is "Authentic Nautical Fish Net - Decorative Use 10' x 5' New". It is a new item that is kind of between gray and tan or an almost sand (natural tan sand) color and while it is tied (woven) like fish netting the likeness ends there. It is made from a lighter cotton string than the typical recycled or recovered commercial fish netting. It is extremely soft without any body even from the knotting and it does smell new - fresh from China. It is a facsimile and somehow the word "Authentic" doesn't fit the implied Nautical Fish Net. We have several real authentic fish nets on our lake property decor and they have a little more body, are made from a heavier string, have a typical 3/4" weave pattern instead of the 1 1/4" found on this one and they have a more natural color of greenish brown tone. This net may work for your interior decorating or application but for the real image and or true authentic appearance one should make another choice - I will.

Great net for the money. Not as wide as I thought it was going to be. But worked great for our booth.
