Welcome to Henry Cowls – Britain's longest-established net-maker

Henry Cowls and Sons is a true Cornish company. Established in 1889, we started out by supplying nets to the thriving fishing industry. Today, we make high quality knotted nets for a range of uses – including bird control, fruit cages, and sports.

All our nets are made in our factory in Helston. Fusing traditional craft with modern techniques, we use spooled twine on a variety of net weaving machines. We then stretch and heat set the nets, before hand joining and cutting them to size.

You can order one of our ‘off the peg’ sizes, or we’re happy to make up any size net you need – just let us know.
