Collapsible Insect Nets
Versatile folding nets are larger versions of the famous #7112CP pocket net which BioQuip introduced in 1956. Collapsible field nets in 15″ or 18″ diameter fold down to about 1/3 size of the ring diameter. They are stowed conveniently in collecting bags, daypacks, luggage or (large) pockets.
Nets have an anodized aluminum handle, 5″ long x 3/4″ diameter (12.7 x 2cm), and spring steel net ring. Aerial bags in white or dark green are standard. See #7215NA, #7115GR, #7218NA, #7218GR for replacement bags. The #7215WA, #7215SA, #7218WA & #7218SA extra soft aerial bags, and #7215FA & #7218FA close weave net bags are also suitable extra bags for these nets.
Click on the Info icon next to the catalog number for instructions on folding collapsible nets. The larger 18″ model requires somewhat stronger hands and wrists for refolding. The handle can be extended to any desired length with 12″ and/or 24″ extension segments; see #7312AA and #7312AB. A red vinyl handle grip, #7357, helps spot a net in the field, protects hands, and keeps dirt and rock out of the handle.

What is the mesh size for these nets?
The mesh is approximately 24 x 20 per inch, hole size approx. 1 mm. They are our standard aerial nets. Are you looking for something specific?
Thank you,

Thank you for the quick response. That mesh size suits my need.
Are replacement handles available for purchase? E.g, the aluminum handle + tee that comes with 7115CPS, without the ring or net.
Hi Jordan,
Yes, you can get them but they are not orderable on the web. Please give us a call at the office and we can help you out. 310-667-8800. Please remember we are on Pacific time.
Thank you,
Celia
What additional items come with the Collapsible Net Set beyond the net w/ 5″ handle?
Hi Michael,
The collapsible nets such as the 7115CP only include the net bag, the net ring, a 5 inch handle and the red T knob that hold it together. If you would like a longer handle you need to purchase either some 1 ft extensions (7312AA) or 2 ft extension (7312AB). These can be combined in any way you choose to get the desired length. I would also recommend the 7357 red grip to put on the end of the extension. The 7115CPS includes 2 of the 2ft extensions and the red grip with the 15″ net. This is the best value for everything you would need. Please let me know if you have further questions.
Thank you,
Celia
Does this come with extensions? Or do you have to purchase them separately?
Dear Christina,
I apologize for the delay in response. If you still need an answer to your inquiry The collapsible nets do not come with handle extensions, you purchase them separately to get the desired handle length. They come in 2 sizes 12″ #7312AA, and 24″ #7312AB. You may also want to get a red grip for the end of the handle and that is part number 7357.
Please let me know if you have further questions.
Thank you,
Celia

Can a dowel rod be used as a handle for this like it can with the pocket net? The pocket net suggests using a 5/8″ dowel. What size dowel would you suggest using for this sized net?
Dear Mary,
The 18″ and 15″ collapsible nets are exactly like the pocket net, they just have a larger diameter net ring. The handles are identical so yes, you could use a wooden dowel of the same size, in the same manner if you did not want to use the aluminum handle extensions that are designed to go with it. Part numbers 7312AA and 7312AB. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank you,
Celia
