Things to Consider When Buying Baseball Netting
Some things to consider when buying baseball netting are the quality, material and the size. The quality is determined by the material, the manufacturing process, and the strength of the net. Higher quality netting, like nets that are dyed black and bonded, last a lot longer than nets that are not treated.
Quality: When buying baseball netting, one should consider the quality of the net. The best quality netting will have a better hold strength, will be more durable, and will last longer against abrasion. For example, a Standard Duty (#36) net will hold 320 lb of strength and a Heavy Duty (#60) net will hold 562 lb of strength. Batting cage nets and barrier nets are usually offered in (#21) 200 lb tensile strength and in the (#36) strength net.
Premium Nylon: This netting is top quality, durability and lasts longer against abrasion. Netting that is treated throughout is called “Inside/Out 2X Treatment Process” where the net is initially dyed black and bonded through an extrusion process in manufacturing that treats the inner fibers of each strand of netting. Netting is then latex-treated (dipped) which produces an outer layer of protection that drastically increases abrasion resistance and provides the ultimate protection against damaging ultraviolet rays and weather for maximum net life.
Polyethylene: This netting is great for many applications including backyard, recreational, high school, and collegiate use. The netting is completely weather-treated and constructed of 1-3/4” square mesh made from knotted twisted polyethylene. The cages are rope-bound on all borders and midway along the length for easy hanging. Polyethylene is lightweight which makes them easier to hang.
Size: Baseball Netting can be made to fit any size facility or backyard cage. They can be custom made or can be stocked and bought in standard sizes. Barrier netting can be made for baseball and softball fields, golf courses, driving ranges, and anywhere protection is needed.
Quality netting at the right price can improve the safety and production of your facility. For the best knowledge on baseball netting, call Richardson Athletics at 1-800-895-2902 and order online at www.richardsonathletics.com today!
