All About Sports Netting

When trying to decide for a net to fill a void, after the measurements are taken, is to decide whether to go for custom netting or pre made nets. For people in the netting industry, it is obvious that custom fit nets are the way to go, whether it is a baseball backstop net, Batting Cage net, soccer backstop or football filed goal net. Lets face it, why would you buy anything else that would not fit your netting needs. 

The scenario begins when it is time to replace a baseball-batting cage net. The old net is taken down.  You re measure the poles and realize that they are an odd distance, at times not very uniformed. A couple issues and questions arise. What is the total Height x Width x Length? After determining this, do we need the net to be so close to the poles? Can we live with 6” off the poles to avoid ball firing back off them? Thus avoiding extra unnecessary costs of putting padding around the poles?  All these questions are valid ones and ones that all organizations encounter prior to making netting purchase decisions. Now Pre Made nets have already been made overseas and usually offer a cheap option. For years, people have been buying pre made cages or backstops because there was simply no other alternative to the low cost fix. The quality was obviously terrible but the price was really low. People would pay $500-$700 for plastic pre made cages that would only last two years top outdoors. This has now changed in the last five years.

When buying sports netting, whether it is for baseball batting cage nets, baseball backstop netting, golf nets, lacrosse backstop nets, soccer backstop netting, etc., it is important to educate yourself with what you are getting.  There are many materials of netting out on the market and everyone spins their material to make it better because they want to sell the inventory they invested their money into.  We will compare the two top options on the sport netting market, HDPE vs. Nylon.

HDPE Nets

Nylon Nets

First lets get to the basics of what each material is comprised of. Lets start with HDPE (High Density Polyethylene). HDPE is a fancy name for a product that is derived of plastic. Although it has a large strength to density ratio, HDPE in netting will not hold up to extreme persistent weather elements including heat, dryness or snow. It has a burning point of 248 degrees F. Typically HDPE is used in plastic bottles, corrosion resistant piping and plastic lumber. Nylon netting is used in clothes fabric, bridal veils, package paper, carpets, musical strings and rope to name a few things. It has a melting point of anywhere from 374-664 degree F. Nylon is also a softer and easier product to work with the hands when finished. Now that we have the principles of what each material consists of, we can now move onto why nylon netting is the ideal choice for batting cage nets, backstop netting, soccerbackstop netting and golf nets.

Batting Cage Nets

So you have a Major League, college, high school or little league facility that requires netting replacement. Not knowing anything, you do the research online and find HDPE, which states High Density! And then you see Nylon. High Density sounds catchy and the pricing may be eye catching but as we all know, the cost of the Yugo was also eye catching. Too bad the Yugo would only last a few years. It is just a no brainer. Everyone wants to buy custom netting for his or her baseball, softball, soccer lacrosse or golf course that is of good quality and very affordable. It is true that you pay for what you get. But what if there exists a company that offers quality custom sports netting cheaper than the HDPE!!. It is a win for all parties involved. Nets of America Inc. stands behind their 100% Twisted Knotted Nylon netting and will not be beat on the price of a custom built batting cage, backstop net or odd shape net. Give them a shot. You will not be disappointed. Lastly, could you all imagine if we lived in a world where all our clothes were made of plastic (HDPE)? Scary! Imagine it in the south where the summer months hit over 100 degrees. IF you would not wear plastic in the heat, why leave your backstop net or batting cage net out there also that is plastic. Do your organization a favor and call Nets of America Inc. for the best prices of quality nylon nets in the country.
