Innovative Features of Ball Fabrics’ Sports Netting
What you can’t see:
Our netting is solution dyed. This means that a black UV treatment is applied to the yarn first. Every fiber from the inside out is completely protected as the twine is produced. As a result, once the custom sports netting is manufactured, the insides of the knots are also completely protected, which is very different from a dip-coated net, where just the outside surface of the knot is treated. This ensures our sports netting won’t deteriorate from the inside of an untreated knot. It also means that the netting will not turn gray like other nets on the market.
What you can see:
Once the treated yarn is knotted into a net, the entire product is treated again, this time with a performance acrylic bonding and heat set. It’s a multistep process specifically designed to build endurance and longevity from the inside out.
As a trusted netting company, Ball Fabrics ensures the finished product is as attractive as it is tough and long-lasting, making our custom athletic netting a reliable choice for sports facilities seeking durability and quality.

Benefits of Choosing Ball Fabrics Netting Company
When you’re choosing the right custom sports netting for your facility, here are a few key benefits of our nylon netting that set Ball Fabrics apart:
Careful Construction
With decades of experience in the athletic netting industry, our experts at Ball Fabrics know how to provide the very best netting. First, we ensure that our nylon nets are twisted more tightly, rather than with looser twine, which would decrease abrasion resistance.
The netting manufacturing process uses only well-calibrated machinery to produce the most consistent mesh. This is vital because when creating a mesh, maintaining consistency is essential to ensure the end product is strong and long-lasting.
Lastly, all custom nylon sports netting we supply is pre-shrunk, reducing shrinkage for customers. With careful manufacturing, our nets will only shrink 4–6% over time, compared to the typical 10–12% shrinkage seen in untreated nylon due to sun exposure or heat.
Tested to Meet Standards
We work to provide netting that meets our customers’ rigorous standards. Our nylon is sourced from the industry’s best nylon producers, and we go the extra step to ensure the raw nylon’s filament tenacity is thoroughly tested. Other ways our nylon netting is tested for quality control include:
- Constant break strength tests – At every step of the manufacturing process, from when the filament arrives to when the netting is produced, we test the break strength.
- Measurement of mesh size – After each step of the manufacturing process, the netting’s mesh size is also tested to ensure it meets predetermined requirements
Overall, our custom sports netting undergoes five tests during manufacturing. After the nets are fabricated, they’re tested one last time before being sent to our customers to ensure they are in top form.
Why Custom Sports Netting Matters for Your Athletic Facility
Custom sports netting plays a crucial role in keeping athletes and spectators safe. It helps stop foul balls and fast-moving objects, reduces the risk of injuries, and clearly defines the field of play so athletes stay within safe, designated areas.
As an experienced netting company, we help keep sporting events safe by offering only the highest-quality nylon netting. Our nylon netting absorbs impact by stretching upon contact while maintaining its original structure and strength.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do Ball Fabrics’ protective sports netting solutions differ from other netting?
Ball Fabrics’ protective netting solutions differ from other custom sports netting in a few key ways. First, our nets are solution-dyed, which means the UV protection is embedded in the fibers from the inside out rather than just coated on the surface, as with most netting products. This not only provides better, longer-lasting protection but also prevents fading and deterioration that can occur with dip-coated nets. Second, our nets undergo a multi-step bonding and heat-setting process to enhance durability and longevity further further.
How does Ball Fabrics ensure the quality and consistency of its custom sports netting?
Ensuring the quality and consistency of custom sports netting is paramount for Ball Fabrics. We achieve this by employing calibrated machinery that produces consistent mesh sizes throughout the manufacturing process. Additionally, we conduct ongoing break strength tests at every stage of production, from raw materials to the finished net. Our nets are required to undergo several quality control checks, including mesh sizing and a final check before shipping. This is to ensure our nets meet our high standards of strength, durability, and performance.
How do I choose the right netting options for the types of sports at my facility?
Selecting the appropriate custom athletic netting depends on the sport, the facility size, and safety requirements. Ball Fabrics offers a variety of mesh sizes, material types, and rope border styles to accommodate a range of sports applications, including baseball, tennis, soccer, and hockey. For instance, tighter squares are used for baseball backstops to ensure the netting can stop small foul balls, while larger mesh is more appropriate for soccer or basketball courts.
Our team will discuss your specific needs and recommend a custom sports netting option that best fits your budget and use case.
What’s the importance of wind-resistant athletic netting?
Our wind-resistant athletic netting has openings to allow airflow while still providing a strong mesh to retain balls and other debris. This reduces wind pressure against the fencing, resulting in less damage. In addition, Ball Fabric’s sports netting forms a sturdy barrier that keeps players and spectators safe. Our netting company is dedicated to making custom sports netting that prolongs the lifespan of your investment, and wind-resistant nets are part of this.
Does our outdoor stadium really need perimeter netting?
Outdoor stadium perimeter netting enhances safety and enjoyment in high-traffic areas by protecting fans, players, and staff from stray balls and flying debris. Over the years, we’ve noticed that installing custom sports netting helps reduce the risk of liability claims, further safeguarding your reputation and investment.
