Pickleball Netting for Ball Containment at Courts and Playing Facilities – Custom Prepared Nets
Containment netting is a crucial component of pickleball courts, offering a multitude of benefits for both players and location managers. By enclosing the court area, containment netting prevents balls from escaping, minimizing disruptions and potential hazards. This ensures a smooth and enjoyable playing experience for all participants while also safeguarding spectators and nearby properties. Moreover, containment netting contributes to the overall aesthetic appeal of pickleball facilities, enhancing the overall ambiance and attracting more players.
Benefits of Containment Netting for Pickleball Courts
Pickleball is a rapidly growing sport, captivating enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. As participation increases, so does the demand for well-equipped and safe playing environments. Ball barrier netting plays a pivotal role in achieving this objective, offering a range of advantages for pickleball courts:
- Prevents Ball Escape: Containment netting effectively confines pickleballs within the designated court area, eliminating the frustration and inconvenience of retrieving balls that have sailed over the fence. This uninterrupted flow of play enhances the overall enjoyment and satisfaction of pickleball participants.
- Reduces Maintenance: By preventing balls from escaping the court, containment netting minimizes the need for excessive ball retrieval and maintenance. This saves time and resources for facility managers, allowing them to focus on other aspects of maintaining and improving the pickleball courts.
- Enhances Safety: Errant pickleballs can pose safety risks to spectators, nearby pedestrians, and even passing vehicles. Containment netting effectively mitigates these hazards by preventing balls from straying beyond the court boundaries. This safeguards individuals and properties from potential harm, fostering a secure and hazard-free playing environment.
- Improves Aesthetics: Containment netting contributes to the overall visual appeal of pickleball courts, transforming them into well-defined and inviting spaces. This aesthetic enhancement not only attracts more players but also elevates the overall ambiance of pickleball facilities.
In summary, containment netting stands as an essential element of pickleball courts, offering a multitude of benefits that enhance the playing experience, promote safety, improve aesthetics, and reduce maintenance requirements. As pickleball continues to gain popularity, the implementation of barrier netting will undoubtedly play a crucial role in ensuring the continued growth and success of this exciting sport.

Smash Point Pickleball is a fantastic new facility located in Mechanicsburg, PA that was a very appreciated client of Gourock’s for their court divider netting and ball containment netting needs. You can take a look at specific facility details at their company website or Facebook page – and it was a great pleasure working with them for all of the customized court surround nets needed for the site. This netting production project included 29 custom netting panels that were all constructed from #36 X 1-3/4″ twisted-knotted black square mesh nylon, with 1-1/2″ webbing borders (#2 grommets stamped every 12″ around the perimeter).

I am interested in learning more about the pickleball barriers. The pictures on your website is showing the pickleball barriers. My concern about the distance in the back court where the barrier should be place, is what happens if going back for a lob and trip into the barrier. Are the barriers suppose to be a certain distance from the court perimitter and are they bolted down?
Great speaking with you the other day Cecelia – thank you for giving a ring! As we discussed, the netting can be installed or hung between most any sort of supports/posts/framing/structures preferred – and the stability or “movement” of the netting installation will basically depend on what those supports are. Sometimes people use freestanding frames/posts that are easily moveable, and sometimes the poles are permanent posts that have no movement at all. The twisted- knotted nylon netting from Gourock that is spanning between the supports is very strong and robust, so can absolutely take a lot of abrasion, wear, and impact resistance to being run into by players. Generally speaking, the 1-3/4″ square mesh pattern twisted-knotted nylon netting in a #21 twine or #36 twine thickness are the most popular selections for pickleball court divider nets and containment nets. Pickleball courts have a 6′ ‘out of bounds’ area behind the court, so the containment nets are usually placed at least that distance away in most cases. Hopefully that helps out a bit more – and thank you again!
