Protective Netting: What is to consider before buying?
If you are looking for protective netting to avoid injury or damage on electronic or other expensive equipment you must be sure the ball will not pass through the mesh of the safety netting.
Protection against golf ball is very different from baseball that is also different from basketball or soccer ball. Second thing is the breaking strenght. You need an higher breaking strenght for golf ball or hockey puck than a dodge ball. We always recommand nylon netting for golf ball while polypropylene is good enough for other sports ball. Finally the thickness of the netting will also determine the strenght of your protective netting. We usually see 2.1mm, 2.3mm and 2.8mm.
Then you can choose the color to matc the feel and look of your protected area. We see a lot of green color protective netting for all the golf club or driving range. Black is very popular as you can imagine and we see some white on the ice rink to match the ice color.
Another popular growing product is the clera monofilament. First it was intend to be used in the arena to stop the puck behind the hockey net or on the side rink. Then more and more we start to see these kind of protective net for other use. Very resistant, with high breaking strenght the clear monofilament has also the characteristic of being economic. They come in roll and it is a bit harder to customize the size even if its still possible. The installation must be done usually by using cable through the mesh.
Last part to looking at is the installation. Different technique can be use to install your protective netting. The border of the netting can be reinforced with sewing rope or a band of vinyl tape can be sew on top or around the net with grommet in that you can pass metallic hook or ty-raps.
