Short answer: choose a single-wall net when the buyer needs a simpler gill-net structure for a defined mesh, height and water layer. Choose a three-layer net when the buyer needs a trammel-style construction with inner and outer mesh panels for a different capture method, heavier configuration or more specific local fishing practice.
This guide is for importers, wholesalers and fishing-gear distributors preparing a quotation request. It does not replace local fishing rules. Buyers should confirm legal mesh size, permitted gear type and water-body requirements in their own market before ordering.
Quick Comparison
| Decision point | Single-wall fishing net | Three-layer fishing net |
|---|---|---|
| Common structure | One netting wall, often requested as a gill net. | Inner netting plus two outer panels, often requested as a trammel net. |
| Buyer usually specifies | Mesh size, height, length, line/twine diameter, sinking or floating setup. | Inner mesh, outer mesh, height, length, panel material, line/twine diameter, float/sinker setup. |
| When it may fit | Buyers who already know the target mesh and need a simpler finished net. | Buyers who need a trammel-style construction or a heavier, more detailed specification. |
| Accessories | Floatline, leadline, ropes, floats and sinkers by specification. | Floatline, leadline, rope-wrapped lead options, floats and sinkers by specification. |
| Quotation risk | Incomplete line diameter or finished height can make prices hard to compare. | Missing inner/outer mesh details can make quotations unreliable. |
When to Request a Single-Wall Net
A single-wall net is usually the clearer request when the buyer already knows the target mesh size, finished net height, length and whether the net should sink or float. It is often easier to quote because there is only one netting wall, but the RFQ still needs enough detail to compare suppliers correctly.

When to Request a Three-Layer Net
A three-layer net is a better RFQ topic when the buyer wants a trammel-style net with inner and outer mesh panels. The buyer should define both the inner mesh and outer mesh, plus the net height, finished length, line or twine diameter, material, color and sinking or floating balance.

Buyer Checklist Before Comparing Prices
- Confirm whether the required net is single-wall or three-layer.
- Confirm sinking, floating or lead-rope sinking setup.
- Provide mesh size, net height and total length.
- For three-layer nets, provide both inner and outer mesh information.
- Provide material, line/twine diameter, color and edge rope requirement.
- State float size/spacing, lead sinker or lead-rope requirement if known.
- Share packing method, order quantity and destination port.
- Confirm local fishing rules before asking for final production details.
RFQ Fields to Send
| Field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Product type | Single-wall sinking, single-wall floating, three-layer sinking, three-layer floating or lead-rope three-layer sinking. |
| Mesh details | Defines the fishing-net structure and quotation basis. |
| Net height and length | Affects material usage, packing and freight planning. |
| Line or twine diameter | Changes strength, visibility, weight and price. |
| Float/sinker setup | Controls whether the finished net floats, sinks or balances in the intended water layer. |
| Packing, quantity and destination port | Needed for order planning and freight discussion. |

FAQ
Is a three-layer net always better than a single-wall net?
No. The better option depends on the fishing method, target catch, water layer, legal mesh rules and buyer specification.
Can one supplier quote both single-wall and three-layer nets?
Yes, if the buyer provides complete specifications. The quote should still separate product type, mesh, line/twine diameter, height, length, accessories, packing and destination port.
What should buyers send first if they are unsure?
Send product photos, target mesh, finished size, water layer, quantity and destination port. A sample or reference photo can help clarify whether the request is single-wall or three-layer.
