You'll want to double up the diamonds of the mesh closer to the throat of the head...You want to keep your sidewalls as tight as possible throughout the entire head.

you wants your sidewall tight through out the pocket but the mesh tighter at the top and looser at the bottom if your going for a low pocket

String the head normally like you would for any pocket, but on the last couple of holes (depends on the head) fo through two links of mesh for each sidewall hole.You might want a semi-loose bottom string, but thats preference (not for me). Keep all the strings as tight as possible.

Welcome to the forums. The search bar up top can help you out greatly. The advise already giving is good as well. Like everyone has said. Keep your top string and sidewall strings as tight as possible. Double up on the diamonds lower in the head to get a lower pocket. For tutorials, pic's, and other information.
