Barrier Net Information

A sports barrier net serves the main purpose of stopping balls from leaving the intended area of play. This can become an issue anywhere from your backyard through to commercial facilities where public safety can be a concern.

Some of the most common scenarios involve:

Backyard Barrier Net: These nets are commonly designed to stop Cricket, Soccer and Basketballs flying over the neighbour’s fence. The purpose of the netting in this case is to minimise the hassle of retrieving the ball OR to stop the annoyance for the neighbour of having to throw the balls back.

Sports Practice at the park: A range of portable nets have been developed which can be erected and dismantled in minutes. These are often setup for cricket fielding practice OR behind a smaller soccer goal with the purpose of stopping the balls rolling away from the pitch.

Commercial Facilities: Most commonly installed to protect people or property, but similarly can also be used to reduce the hassle of ball retrievable. These types of larger scale nets are often seen at soccer fields and golf courses.

Cage

Open ended & fully enclosed cages

Sports Cage

Sports Cages have the main purpose of containing balls within a certain area. They are commonly used for Cricket, softball and baseball practice and are seen in the backyard, at schools and at clubs.

All our custom cages will be "Rope Edged" and built to your specifications. The main design consideration is to decide between:

* A fully enclosed cage: This includes 4 walls and a roof, all stitched together into 1 piece. On one of the narrower ends we will include a 1m overlap entrance for entry and exit. This type of cage keeps the ball contained completely, so is often used for baseball and/or cricket when a bowling machine is being used to deliver the ball.

* An "open ended" cage is a common design for cricket practice cages. This design (which has only 3 walls + the roof), allows for the bowler to perform their full run-up and deliver the ball towards the batter.

The secondary option when considering an "open ended" cage, is if you require a full or half-length. This generally is a consideration in regards to the flight of the ball by a spin bowler in particular.

A full length roof will contain more balls, however it does restrict the ball flight path which can be a valid consideration.

Soccer Goals (Boxed)

Boxed shape goals only. Pro / stadium style (no tapered nets).

Impact Net

Heavy duty netting designed to absorb high velocity impact.

An "open ended" cage is a common design for cricket practice cages. This design (which has only 3 walls + the roof), allows for the bowler to perform their full run-up and deliver the ball towards the batter.

The secondary option in "open ended" is if you require a full-length roof or half-length. This generally is a consideration in regards to the flight of the ball by a spin bowler in particular.

Half Length Roof

If you are planning an "open-ended" cricket cage, the secondary consideration is if you require a full OR half-length. This generally is a consideration in regards to the flight of the ball by a spin bowler in particular.

A full length roof will contain more balls, however it does restrict the ball flight path which can be a consideration.

Example: If you order a 12m length cage (and select a half-length roof), then your roof will only extend 6m along from the batters end.

Mesh Type

Please select your required mesh size (hole size).

40mm

Ideal for most sporting applications.

40mm Mesh Size

The first question that should be raised when deciding on a netting type, should be what type of balls you are looking to contain? You will need to allow for the “smallest ball being used” and work up from there. So for example, if you will ONLY be using the netting for Basketball, then a 100mm x 100mm Square will suffice. However, if you ALSO wish to play cricket or tennis in that same area you will need to use a more “multi-purpose” netting such as a 40mm x 40mm square.

Most multi-purpose areas will use a 40mm mesh size as standard. It is a durable and versatile netting that covers you for almost all sports (excluding golf). This is one of the reasons you will see this particular netting in most Indoor sports centres. You may ask the question, why don’t I just use 40mm for every job? Well, the answer involves the following potential advantages of 100mm:

  • In certain cases it can be lighter
  • In certain cases it can be less visible than the 40mm netting
  • It can be less expensive

Even with this in mind, these advantages are often outweighed by the practical benefits of the 40mm squares. Furthermore, if the 100mm is going to be used as a barrier netting at Ground Level, you may want to consider the higher probability of the users getting their feet caught in the larger holes (Trip Hazard).

Recommendation for the following sports:

  • Cricket Netting : 40mm Squares
  • Softball / Baseball Netting : 40mm Squares
  • Tennis Fence Netting : 40mm Squares
  • Basketball Barrier Net : 40mm OR 100m Squares
  • Football / Soccer Barrier Nets : 40mm OR 100m Squares

100mm

Ply

Ply refers to the thickness (or grade) of the netting.

36 ply (2mm)

36ply Sports Net

Once you have settled on the correct mesh size, you will now have to consider what thickness of material you should opt for. The higher the ply, the thicker the material will be. A “36ply” net would comprise of 36 strands of HDPE twisted together to make a 2mm thick netting. A “48ply” would comprise 48 strands of HDPE twisted together to make a 2.5mm thick netting and so on. The thickness (weight) of each of the 48 individual strands must also be considered. Cheaper nets on the market will claim to be 48ply, but each of the 48 strands are well below the weight (Denier) of the more quality nets on the market such as Quatra Sports Netting.

Interestingly, some barrier nets are “braided” instead of twisted. These braided nets won’t be afforded a “ply” as such, but will rather be measures in mm, for example 3mm diameter.

In determining your required PLY, you should take into consideration:

  • The volume of use (commercial or residential)
  • The impact velocity and type of the ball. For example a high impact, direct strike from a baseball will have a higher force and velocity than a simple barrier net to stop the occasional tennis ball going over the fence.
  • Any weight or lighting considerations in respect to the installation method
  • Price

Based on our experience of over 130years working with netting products, we can suggest the following initial guidelines when selecting a net to suit your application.

Cricket Netting:

  • 36ply / 40mm
  • 48ply / 40mm
  • 60ply / 40mm

Softball / Baseball Netting:

  • 36ply / 40mm
  • 48ply / 40mm
  • 60ply / 40mm

Tennis Netting:

Soccer / Football Barrier Netting:

  • 36ply / 40mm
  • 36ply / 100mm
  • 48ply / 40mm
  • 3mm Diameter Braided 100mm Squares

Key Points:

A 36ply material with 40mm squares is most commonly used for residential and lower impact sports

A 48ply material with 40mm squares is most commonly used for commercial applications and higher impact sports

A 60ply material with 40mm squares is occasionally seen in high volume, high velocity commercial settings.

Although 100mm Square netting can provide some advantages, the 40mm option is a more commonly used all-rounder for outdoor sports netting installations.

Interestingly, some barrier nets are “braided” instead of twisted. These braided nets won’t be afforded a “ply” as such, but will rather be measures in mm, for example 3mm diameter.

In determining your required PLY, you should take into consideration:

  • The volume of use (commercial or residential)
  • The impact velocity and type of the ball. For example a high impact, direct strike from a baseball will have a higher force and velocity than a simple barrier net to stop the occasional tennis ball going over the fence.
  • Any weight or lighting considerations in respect to the installation method
  • Price

Based on our experience of over 130years working with netting products, we can suggest the following initial guidelines when selecting a net to suit your application.

Cricket Netting:

  • 36ply / 40mm
  • 48ply / 40mm
  • 60ply / 40mm

Softball / Baseball Netting:

  • 36ply / 40mm
  • 48ply / 40mm
  • 60ply / 40mm

Tennis Netting:

  • 36ply / 40mm

Basketball Barrier Netting:

  • 36ply / 40mm
  • 36ply / 100mm
  • 48ply / 40mm
  • 3mm Diameter Braided 100mm Squares

Soccer / Football Barrier Netting:

  • 36ply / 40mm
  • 36ply / 100mm
  • 48ply / 40mm
  • 3mm Diameter Braided 100mm Squares

Key Points:

A 36ply material with 40mm squares is most commonly used for residential and lower impact sports

A 48ply material with 40mm squares is most commonly used for commercial applications and higher impact sports

A 60ply material with 40mm squares is occasionally seen high volume, high velocity commercial settings.

Although 100mm Square netting can provide some advantages, the 40mm option is a more commonly used all-rounder for outdoor sports netting installations.

Edge Treatment

Please select your edge treatment from the dropdown menu.

Rope

Our most common edge finish for sport nets. Simple, yet durable & convenient.

Rope Edging

Rope Edge Sports Netting

The most commonly applied sports net finish is “Rope Edging”. A Rope Edge finish entails a rope (of 6mm Diameter) being overlock stitched to the perimeter of the net using a purpose designed industrial sewing machine. The machine will intertwine 3 individual threads around the rope to bind the rope to the netting. Given the design of the machine, it is capable of facilitating the use of very heavy duty and UV treated threads.

The rope edging provides additional strength at the attachment point of your netting and also neatens the finish. It is for these reasons that this is the most commonly used finish on both major and backyard sports netting products around the world. It is commonly used on our Quatra range of Cricket Nets, baseball netting, basketball barrier nets and tennis nets.

Pro’s:

  • Strong and neat finish to your sports net
  • Ideal for backyard right through to Commercial projects
  • An economical option for edging your netting
  • Facilitates a sliding net installation

Weighted Rope

Used on the 'bottom' of netting panels to provide additional weight and stability.
Weighted Rope on all 4 sides is only available in 8mm thickness.

Weighted Rope

Our 12mm Weighted Rope (Black) can be attached to the bottom of your netting panel to provide additional weight and stability to a net. The weight is approximately 360 grams per metre.

Weighted rope is commonly installed at the bottom of sports barrier nets where attaching to a fixed cable at ground level is not suitable.

In the instance of all 4 sides having weighted rope, please note an 8mm diameter rope will be used instead of the standard 12mm diameter rope.

Net Tension

Unlike other materials such as glass or timber, netting measurement is done by hand and can be tensioned at various levels when cutting to size. We provide 2 options, either taught (reasonable tension is applied to either end of the net when the measurement is taken), or relaxed (the net will be simply laid on the floor and measured in a relaxed state). Taught measurements are commonly seen in safety & loft netting installations whereby relaxed is the norm for sporting applications.
