At the decisive moment, all eyes are focussed on the goal. The ball flies between the posts, escapes the goalkeeper's hands and finally ends up in the net, which stops its triumphant progress. But if the ball - as is so often the case - just misses the target, its rapid speed must also be intercepted. Ball stop nets on the edge of the pitch ensure that spectators can watch the exciting action safely and undisturbed.
Ball stop nets are an important piece of equipment in sporting activities. They not only protect spectators from the risk of being hit by balls, but also keep the game going, as there is no need to search for balls which go off the playing field.
Particularly in soccer, balls miss the goal more often than they land in it. To keep any interruption in play as short as possible, ball nets or ball fences are installed on playing fields. This has the additional advantage of preventing the ball from hitting the spectators. So a ball fence not only ensures that the game goes smoothly, but also fulfils a protective function as well.
Our knotless safety nets of high-strength polypropylene fibre offer effective protection.
A thickness of 3 mm is sufficient for amateur sports grounds. A ball net with a material thickness of 4 or 5 mm is able to cope with greater demands. A mesh size of 120 mm suffices and is the prime choice here. We are happy to help you find the right safety net for your sport.
Of course, other types of sport place other demands on sports nets. For example, in golf or ice hockey the golf ball or puck can become dangerous missiles. Safetynet365 offers specially designed ball nets for many different types of sport, including indoor soccer, handball, volleyball, hockey, badminton, tennis, cricket, baseball and squash. We have the right net for every sport.
All the ball nets available from Safetynet365 are of durable quality and well able to meet the highest demands. Thanks to their UV-stability and weather-resistance, the sports nets are designed for outdoor use, but can equally be used in sports halls. The ball net for your sports ground or sports hall can be ordered by the square meter and is individually made to measure.
Ball catch nets are essential to ensure the safety of spectators, as they prevent equipment such as balls or pucks from flying uncontrollably into the crowd. They also ensure that the game runs smoothly by making it unnecessary to retrieve balls outside the pitch.
The height of a ball stop fence depends on the type of sport and the area of use. For football pitches, fences with a height of 4 to 6 metres are common in order to intercept shots effectively. In areas with increased safety requirements, e.g. golf or ice hockey, ball catch fences can be even higher in order to safely stop smaller, faster flying play equipment.
High-quality ball stop nets are made of robust polypropylene, are UV-stabilised and weather-resistant, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The material thickness (e.g. 3 mm for amateurs, 4-5 mm for professional requirements) and the mesh size (e.g. 120 mm for soccer) vary depending on the type of sport and requirements.
There are specially adapted ball catching nets for numerous sports such as soccer, football, golf, ice hockey, volleyball, tennis, baseball and handball. These nets are customised to the respective requirements such as size, material thickness and mesh width in order to offer maximum safety and functionality.
