Nylon vs. "Poly"?

What kind of netting material do you supply netting products from?

Professional-style cages and custom netting panels/projects feature DuPont® type 66-728 knotted nylon. This is the strongest and highest quality sport netting available. 100% American made from the raw material to the end product. It has the best combination of strength, durability, abrasion resistance, and ease of use available on the market. Home-style batting cages and many "pre-cut" netting panels feature 100% braided, knotless PolyPro netting. PolyPro contains 4 units of UV stabilizer, the texture/aesthetic of nylon, and excellent tensile rating for residential applications. And occasionally, HDPE netting options are seasonally available for both cages and "pre-cut" panels, but most especially for protection screens.

Here is a general informational summary of material characteristics for netting types we offer (when available):

Nylon:
DuPont® type 66-728 nylon
high tensile strength
high abrasion resistance
UV stabilized
dyed black, twisted, knotted netting construction ("Diamond-Shield" dipping available)
available in diamond or square mesh
can be customized to any dimensions

PolyPro:
polypropylene
moderate tensile strength
moderate abrasion resistance
4 units of UV stabilizer
extruded black, braided, knotless netting construction
available in square mesh with serged edge
available in "set" dimensions

PE (HDPE):
high density polyethylene
moderate tensile strength
moderate abrasion resistance
UV stabilized
extruded black, twisted, knotted netting construction
available in square mesh with posi-lock rope edge
available in "set" dimensions

When comparing batting/golf cage/netting sources, comparisons should be made regarding:
netting material used (std. nylon, 66-728 nylon, HDPE, polypro, etc.)
netting construction (twisted knotted, braided knotless, etc.)
twine tensile strength
mesh size used
netting features (bonded, dipped, etc.)
rope material used and size/strength (Dacron, PE, PolyPro, etc.)
sewing material used (nylon, PE, etc.)
cage features (impact nets, edges, tails, etc.)
warranties
sizing/customization options
country of origin (materials & craftsmanship)
physical weight
