Cargo net splicing method
John Finfrock
Can anyone tell me were to find the splicing technique for heavy rope
netting? I have seen it called "Lock Tuc" on
http://www.usnetting.com/HTML/cargo.html.

the suggested solution is not very stable
the connections in the net you show, can hardly be called 'splices'
each rope seem to be tucked straight through the crossing rope
the connections will slip and deform the net
tuck one rope through the other, and then the other through the first
one might improve it
(but it won't work easy in heavy rope)
In heavy rope I would try seizings at each crossing
and I found this:
