Abstract
A net utilizes members having at least one surface which is flat and causes the at least one flat surface of the members to confront each other and be connected by a sewn connection. The generally flat orientation of the members permits the members to be readily repeatedly connected with uniform results. The invention also utilizes the flat surfaces of the members to create an out of plane design whereby the flat surfaces of the members extend perpendicularly to the plane which includes the net. Connections can further be made by providing a hollow member and inserting another member into it at a first point and then threading the inserted member through the hollow member until it exits by piercing the hollow member or by causing the inserted member to be sewn to the hollow member therewithin.
