To remove a bat or bird from any net, a pulley system quickly and carefully collapses the net stack until the animal can be reached. The nets can be set up, raised, lowered, and packed up by a single person. Each tier of every net can be individually adjusted and tensioned in seconds for any bag-overlap desired, and to prevent sag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"style498\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe system can be used as a sturdy, easy-to-use double high net set, or can even be expanded to create a quad-high set. Other uses include raising harp traps to sample previously out of reach bat roosts and hoisting bat detector equipment 50' into the air. Everyone who has worked with this system is impressed with the ease of setup, simple ability to properly tension nets over the entire expanse, and the high rate of bat captures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis net set has been assembled tens of thousands times since 2001 by a number of different people, of all levels of experience. The assembly procedure has been refined so one person can set it up, and anyone can very quickly tear it down. Once trained, allow at least 45 minutes to an hour for one person to properly install, string, and initially tension the net set. An experienced manager will delegate several setup tasks at once to assistants, cutting set-up time to under 15 minutes. For super fast sets, remove the nets, secure the rigging, and place the fully assembled poles on a vehicle roof rack for transport to the next net site. Full rigging instructions included in an accompanying manual, and photos and video of set-ups are online at: www.batmanagement.com.

Sturdy pole anchors ensure the 3H set will go up straight and stay straight all night long. NOTE: Purchasing and using mist nets from the same manufacturing lot will ensure a properly tensioned set-up, but slight differences in length between nets can easily be addressed with simple adjustments at each pole and if wind conditions require, the fixed spacing between the net carriers can be manually adjusted to increase or decrease the amount of bag in each net as needed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"style816\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style675\"\u003e6.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style47\"\u003e Do not underestimate the amount of tension required and forces involved to hoist nets 25-30 feet into the air.

Don't choose a system that is inflexible enough to prevent unique deployments or adjustments to special conditions. Why lock yourself into a stacked net system that will only allow a certain number of nets to be deployed to a certain height? Why be confined to working your pulley rope at the pole instead of in a more convenient (or safer) location? What prevents nets from becoming tangled in the leaf-litter when they are collapsed to reach a bat in the top tier? How easily can poles be transported to the field, erected, and broken down, in the dark without losing small pieces or damaging fragile parts?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"style819 f-lp\"\u003e\u003cem class=\"style3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style221\"\u003eFrom the modular pole sections to the ropes to the net carriers to the guy lines and pole anchors the BCM system is designed for ease of use, long life, and the vagaries of any situation that may arise in the field. Want to turn your 3H system into a 4H system? Two extra pole sections and a set of net carriers added to the pulley rope will do the job. And, the poles are modular and study enough to do double duty to raise bat detectors, camera systems, or harp traps 30-feet in the air.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhats Included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuggedized PVC storage\/carrying bag  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6- 72’’ new aluminum poles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003e2- 72’’ top poles with pulley lines and net carriers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003e4- 50’ main guy lines \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003e2- pole anchors \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003eInstallation manual+tips and tricks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"style535\"\u003e24' tall x width depending on net used. Total weight: 35 lbs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWARNING: All mist net poles conduct electricity and should never be used near power lines  Be aware of the surroundings when loading and unloading poles from vehicles as well as the actual trap site.

system\u003c\/strong\u003e consists of poles and an associated hoist system capable of creating a huge mist net 24’ (7.3m) tall. To remove a bat or bird from any net, a pulley system quickly and carefully collapses the net stack until the animal can be reached. The nets can be set up, raised, lowered, and packed up by a single person. Each tier of every net can be individually adjusted and tensioned in seconds for any bag-overlap desired, and to prevent sag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"style498\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe system can be used as a sturdy, easy-to-use double high net set, or can even be expanded to create a quad-high set. Other uses include raising harp traps to sample previously out of reach bat roosts and hoisting bat detector equipment 50' into the air. Everyone who has worked with this system is impressed with the ease of setup, simple ability to properly tension nets over the entire expanse, and the high rate of bat captures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis net set has been assembled tens of thousands times since 2001 by a number of different people, of all levels of experience. The assembly procedure has been refined so one person can set it up, and anyone can very quickly tear it down. Once trained, allow at least 45 minutes to an hour for one person to properly install, string, and initially tension the net set. An experienced manager will delegate several setup tasks at once to assistants, cutting set-up time to under 15 minutes. For super fast sets, remove the nets, secure the rigging, and place the fully assembled poles on a vehicle roof rack for transport to the next net site.

Short and simple.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e  Anyone can set a mist-net in their suburban, well-manicured back yard . . . but that’s not where the savvy surveyor operates. The best capture survey locations are invariably in the most challenging (to humans) habitats: deep water, steep stream corridors, tight forest flyways. And, the most successful mist-net sets require a sturdy foundation: poles that remain perfectly perpendicular to the surface of the earth and stand tall without leaning or bowing. BCM’s single-high poles fit the bill. From seasons of placing poles in rocky southwestern stream beds, to deploying mist-nets across earthen cattle tanks, and doubling up on nets when the flyway demands, no other poles are as reliable or versatile as those made by BCM. They don’t bend under tension. From purchase date to the final field season of a PhD thesis, these poles will remain straight and true . . . essential characteristics for years of reliable deployments. PLUS, they perform double-duty as bat detector microphone masts for acoustic surveys. Three sections (nearly 10-feet, or 3m) can stand freely. Additional sections can be added, and guyed, to elevate an ultrasonic mic 20-feet, or 6m high. None of this can be said about other lighter-weight options. Trust me. Invest in quality equipment. Your survey success depends on it.  \u003cem\u003e-Janet Tyburec, owner of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.batsurveysolutions.com\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBat Survey Solutions\u003c\/a\u003e, bat workshop instructor since 1992\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"f-fp\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"f-fp\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style243\"\u003eSay good-bye to conduit, bamboo, wood, etc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e In the summer of 2001 we needed mist net poles, A LOT of mist net poles.

Easy to build at a campsite (which a lot of them were), had seamless connectors, and worked great except for when the wooden pegs would swell slightly when wet, causing many afternoons to be (literally) whittled away. Later we tried using some electrical conduit with all its wonderful connectors to avoid our wooden problems, but it turns out that conduit should really just be used for conduit. You can't slide the net loops over the pole connectors, and conduit is HEAVY. Other material like bamboo is great if you -only- do single high nets. So it turns out there is a reason why 36'' seamless stackable poles have proved the test of time...everything else is less versatile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003eBCM makes our own all aluminum poles with CNC machined ends.

Short and simple.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e  Anyone can set a mist-net in their suburban, well-manicured back yard . . . but that’s not where the savvy surveyor operates. The best capture survey locations are invariably in the most challenging (to humans) habitats: deep water, steep stream corridors, tight forest flyways. And, the most successful mist-net sets require a sturdy foundation: poles that remain perfectly perpendicular to the surface of the earth and stand tall without leaning or bowing. BCM’s single-high poles fit the bill. From seasons of placing poles in rocky southwestern stream beds, to deploying mist-nets across earthen cattle tanks, and doubling up on nets when the flyway demands, no other poles are as reliable or versatile as those made by BCM. They don’t bend under tension. From purchase date to the final field season of a PhD thesis, these poles will remain straight and true . . . essential characteristics for years of reliable deployments. PLUS, they perform double-duty as bat detector microphone masts for acoustic surveys. Three sections (nearly 10-feet, or 3m) can stand freely. Additional sections can be added, and guyed, to elevate an ultrasonic mic 20-feet, or 6m high. None of this can be said about other lighter-weight options. Trust me. Invest in quality equipment. Your survey success depends on it.  \u003cem\u003e-Janet Tyburec, owner of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.batsurveysolutions.com\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBat Survey Solutions\u003c\/a\u003e, bat workshop instructor since 1992\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"f-fp\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"f-fp\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style243\"\u003eSay good-bye to conduit, bamboo, wood, etc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e In the summer of 2001 we needed mist net poles, A LOT of mist net poles. Sure we knew of the terrific lightweight poles already commercially available, but the high price for these featherweight poles caused us to look at other avenues (did I mention we needed A LOT of poles?).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003eDutifully we set out starting with aluminum shafts featuring wooden pegs for stacking. Easy to build at a campsite (which a lot of them were), had seamless connectors, and worked great except for when the wooden pegs would swell slightly when wet, causing many afternoons to be (literally) whittled away. Later we tried using some electrical conduit with all its wonderful connectors to avoid our wooden problems, but it turns out that conduit should really just be used for conduit. You can't slide the net loops over the pole connectors, and conduit is HEAVY. Other material like bamboo is great if you -only- do single high nets. So it turns out there is a reason why 36'' seamless stackable poles have proved the test of time...everything else is less versatile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003eBCM makes our own all aluminum poles with CNC machined ends. We decided up front we would use for less expensive material instead of trying to make them featherweight, since rarely would we net several days' hike from a road and quite frankly often they are used to whack brush down when we need an extra foot or two for the net length. Anodized black for bat work; helps hide your rigging and potentially catch more bats. After beating on these poles for a few years, dozens of employees, thousands of net sets, hundreds of workshops, we felt they have stood up to enough of our abuse and are proud to make them available to fellow bat and bird netters.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style310\"\u003ePlease note that we sell poles individually instead of packs, so you can build your own configurations.
