Pet Net Resources

Have you ever heard of a pet net, or a toy hammock? If not, take a look at the picture. It's a terrific and space saving item that hangs, via three hooks, in the corner of a room and it forms a sort of shelf, or pouch, for you to store things in, namely plush. I love these things and have two hanging in one corner of my office, one on top of the other. They are easy to install and so convenient, and you can fit quite a few animals in one net. Look how many are in the net in this picture. (BTW I used to have that bear on the right, next to the parrot. I think it was a department store Christmas bear, I wonder what happened to it. I am not a person who loses track of my animals easily, but I think he's been delegated to a bag in storage. Do you have too much plush when you can recognize a piece you own from a random picture??) Anyway, I would say the two nets I have hanging up each have at least 20 animals in them, if not more, and not just little 5" tall animals, substantially sized animals.

I'm not doing this advertisement for these things because I sell them, because I don't, but since I do sell a lot of plush, I wanted to give you a couple of links where you can find these nets if you are interested as they are related to what I have in my store. I think you will find them to be helpful with storing your collection, or getting all the toys off of your childs bedroom floor. I bought one of my nets from Organize.com, don't know where the other came from. The only warning I would give is watch out for quality, the one in the picture is nice because it has the nylon edge which makes it more durable. I also like one with tighter netting, some have holes that look like quite a few animals would fall through. I have that exact one in the picture so I can recommend it.

I am not affiliated with the sites I am listing, not getting any kind of profit from them, again, just listing a helpful resource. These nets would probably work for a lot of things, not just plush. They are normally hung up with hooks but there are also versions now that hang with suction cups if you are concerned with putting holes in the walls.

So here are a few links to on-line stores you can find the nets at:

www.Organize.com
www.organize-it-online.com
www.spacesavers.com
www.hangercity.com

Hope you found these resources helpful!
