Max 200 sq ft.
mesh size is restricted
a permit is required
and you need to pick the area you intend to use it.

To expand on what Ronnie said. If the net is "over" 200 sq ft you need a special endorsement on your comm license. and what he said about the areas. If your going to do it you really need the permit..... I can't even wipe my behind with 200 sq feet. I thinking more like 600 to 1000 is needed. A net 10 ft deep 100 ft long looks big in the driveway but very small in the water.
