Gourock.com custom barrier nets, ball containment netting, and property protection netting needs.

Whether you manage a sports training facility, a driving range, a school gymnasium, or a sprawling sports stadium, ensuring the safety and security of your space is paramount. This includes containing athletic balls within designated playing areas and protecting surrounding property and people from errant throws or hits. Here’s where barrier netting, ball containment netting, or property protection netting comes into play.

These robust woven mesh solutions act as a physical barrier, effectively preventing balls from escaping the intended playing area. This not only safeguards spectators, players, and neighboring property from potential injuries or damage, but also keeps the game or practice running smoothly by minimizing interruptions caused by balls flying out of bounds.

By creating a safe and controlled environment, it allows everyone to focus on the game without the distraction of errant balls. This can lead to improved performance, increased enjoyment, and a more positive overall atmosphere.

When choosing barrier netting, it’s essential to consider factors such as the size of your playing area, the type of ball you use, and the level of protection required. Gourock.com’s team of experts can provide guidance and assistance to help you select the ideal netting solution for your facility.

Baseball Stadium High Impact Baseball Netting

In this first recent custom netting example we are showing a heavy duty barrier net that was constructed for a protection need at a municipal baseball stadium. In this particular case there was an area of the field that was subjected to very high velocity ball impacts, which posed a safety issue for the surrounding infrastructure and the public. The customer preference in this case was very heavy-duty barrier netting that had the highest expectation of impact durability and weather resistance, so this job was facilitated with #72 X 1-3/4″ DuPont type 66 twisted-knotted nylon netting, black, square mesh pattern. There was a 5/16″ braided polyester rope bordered perimeter edging sewn-on, along with a carnally located support rope installed through the middle of the net as well. Overall sizing of the baseball netting panel was 12′ X 21′-5″ and we had this custom barrier net produced and shipped out within 1 week of the order being placed.

Golf Driving Range Netting for a Commercial Golf Facility Location

Barrier netting for golf driving range locations is an ongoing speciality for Gourock, especially for commercial and municipal golf establishments. The recommended netting type for large driving range netting projects is the 1″ tarred twisted-knotted nylon netting, and often in the #18 twine thickness. This is a very durable golf barrier netting product that is designed for maximum resiliency in outdoor installations. The #18 twisted nylon in the type 66 material has a minimum tensile strength rating of 191 lbs., with high abrasion resistance. In addition, this is a tarred material – which is a treatment process to the mesh that significantly enhances durability to both UV and moisture exposure. These factors make this nylon netting choice very preferred for commercial barrier netting projects – and since netting is custom built to particular sizing needs by Gourock, the performance of the netting panels in the field is superb.

In this recent custom netting example we show a job that included a total of 45 netting panels that were needed for a driving range installation in Utah. Each of these nets was 15′ in height, and the lengths of each net varied (depending on the pole spacing they were being installed between) but averaged around 50′. Each of these barrier nets were built with a 5/16″ braided polyester rope bordered perimeter edging, along with a central rope support line located 3′ down from the top edge. Gourock’s custom netting client in Utah had these nets delivered to them within 4 weeks of the order being placed.

Baseball Field Barrier Netting

There are many reasons why barrier nets are utilized at different areas of baseball fields and stadiums. A couple of them are to block large spaces from errant baseballs resulting from foul balls and home run hits. Backstop nets and spectator protection nets are also very popular types of safety enhancements at baseball stadiums and softball fields as well. In this recent example shown below you can see a type of netting panel that was ordered by our customer for these types of baseball containment needs. In this case the netting was for an open area along the side of the stadium that needed to be protected from errant foul balls. The sizing of this custom barrier netting production was 20′ X 50′ and featured the #36 X 1-3/4″ square mesh twisted-knotted nylon netting. Edges were 5/16″ polyester rope bordered, along with a central support rope running through the net at the 10′ mark. Additionally, Gourock’s customer in this case has had dozens of nets produced and shipped over the years, and they find a benefit is having some 3′ long rope tails extending from the corners and the center line of the netting panel. A baseball field netting panel like this was built and ready to ship out within 7-10 working days of the order being placed.
