Four reasons:

1. I had a few thousand 4 inch white and multicolored zip ties on hand and didn't want to buy more. I think I used about 1800 to join the panels and add a rope border on each end.

2. Using them for cages that were in the ponds 24/7 most of the year I've rarely had issues with the white ones. I think the superiority of the black ones is way overrated.

3. The net won't be exposed to UV light most of the time as once it's dry it will be in dark storage. It will be used only once a year.

4. The net probably won't last much longer anyway as it has seen a lot of use before I got it. I can tear it with my bare hands.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
