Abstract: Simple twist wire net of the type in which adjacent rows can pivot relative to each other is folded, accordian fashion, by depositing the net onto at least two elongated, spaced apart, parallel supports. The supports are spaced apart a distance equal to a multiple of the distance between interlooped peaks and valleys of adjacent rows of the net, and engage the underside of the peaks and valleys to permit the net to fold by gravity on the supports and to maintain the peaks and valleys aligned. The supports can be rigid beams or drivable strands to fold and store the net, and the folded net can be formed into a compact roll.

Abstract: Simple twist wire net in which adjacent rows can pivot relative to each other is folded, accordian fashion, and rolled to form a compact roll. Driven strands in the form of belts or chains, spaced apart a distance equal to the distance between valleys of the folded net, engage in the valleys to maintain the accordian folded rows aligned and to form the compact roll.
