Wanted: Australian WW 2 camouflage netting
Gidday,
I’m after some camouflage netting to go with my Australian LP2 carrier. I’m wanting something that is an authentic WW2 period net or a reproduction item of the same period. I’ve looked at some of the Australian online retailers but am not positive about the type to look for. Can anyone confirm the type of netting I should be looking for, for an Australian WW2 type appearance? Is a burlap type construction the right pattern? Can anyone point me in the right direction for where I might get something? Otherwise, has anyone got such a net they would want to sell? Thanks. |
Darryl, Burlap or Hessian is correct, with flax/hemp ropes. If you ever get out of the Deep South, Kiwi Disposals (611 Colombo St, Christchurch 365 3381) had some there earlier this year in Green/Brown and also in all Sand. Very reasonably priced at NZ$80 for 16'x12'. If they weren't so big and heavy, I'd have bought a couple! :doh:

Hi Tony,
Great stuff - cheers for that. I'll give them a try. We are in Christchurch from time to time. You certainly know NZ pretty well eh? Cheers Darryl |

For your info - Kiwi Disposals don't have any at present. They did say:
We did have WWII style burlap nets in stock some time ago - they were in woodland only (greens & browns) size was approx 3mtr x 6 mtr and sold out very fast. Have managed to locate & purchase a small number of these nets overseas, so will have some in stock in the coming weeks. They are 6mtr x 6mtr & not sure on price yet but should be around NZ$299. I'd be interested also in seeing what there is in Australia. Cheers. |
I have seen the same netting here in Aus in the Mitchell's chain of disposals stores, but their price is AU$180, and that's hard to cough up for when you have seen the same item for less that half that elsewhere.
But, if you have to have it..... :giveup |
I bought 2 12' x 12' nets in Brisbane for $125.00 each. They are new, but the burlap type mentioned. They were ordered in by Centenary Disposals at Sumner Park. Their phone number is 07 3376 3175. I have no connection with them.

Great Seller..
Yep this guy is a good seller and honest to boot.. There was a mixup with the cost of postage quoted and he refunded the difference straight away.. He has another net for sale but its just the net no camo.. Pleasure doing business with blokes like him.. :salute:
