From materials the first buildings developed, in order to be able to eject Wurfnetze well. Later for it Kastanien or Robinienholz was predominantly used. On stakes, which are rammed in the water into the soil and fixed with ropes at the bank or other stakes, a small place form is built. On this place form further stakes were established, in order to create from strained ropes a flexible, but durable construction, which large lowering nets and the weight should hold and distribute with the Heraufziehen. Depending upon coastal condition and depth of water different simple were used, on trial and error being based constructions. Experiences from destruction by storms or wave impact show, which rigid connections, fixed with nails or Schauben replaced, not the necessary mobility of a rope knot could.
