What is the difference?
- 1Purpose: Nets are primarily used for catching or dividing while mesh is used for filtering or sifting.
- 2Structure: Nets are typically made of thicker and more rigid materials while mesh is often made of finer and more flexible materials.
- 3Application: Nets are commonly used in fishing, sports, and construction while mesh is more commonly used in technology, science, and art.
- 4Size: Nets tend to have larger holes or gaps compared to mesh which has smaller and more uniform holes.
- 5Connotation: Nets can be associated with physical labor or outdoor activities while mesh can be associated with technology or creativity.
Remember this!
Nets and mesh are both types of woven materials with evenly spaced holes or gaps. However, they differ in their primary purpose, structure, application, size, and connotation. Nets are used for catching or dividing, made of thicker and more rigid materials, and commonly used in fishing, sports, and construction. On the other hand, mesh is used for filtering or sifting, made of finer and more flexible materials, and commonly used in technology, science, and art.
