How To Buy Netting

How To Buy Netting

Gauge refers to twine diameter. The larger the number, the thicker the net, the longer the lifespan.

NylonNylon is made of woven fibers designed to stretch and absorb impact. The result is a more durable material with a longer life-span than Poly.

PolyPolyethylene/HDPE is a plastic material that has less “give” and therefore a shorter life-span than Nylon. It’s an excellent choice for home use and clients on a tight budget in need of a short-term solution.

Netting has many uses. The majority of our customers use netting for sports, but we can handle designs for virtually any netting application.

Our hardware is the most rugged and flexible in the industry. From laser-cut Steel Adjustable FlexPlates to Retro Fit Roller Wheels, our hardware offers extreme durability, versatility, and safety for netting systems.

Cage System Hardware

Steel Anchor FlexPlatesA PSI exclusive, FlexPlates create the most secure and safest anchors in the netting industry. Without strong anchors, lines can only carry minimal tension, resulting in sag and difficult operation. FlexPlates disperse tension on heavy loads, mitigating wall damage and safety hazards.

Also Available

*Each FlexPlate is 1/4" Thick Steel, painted black, with a center steel tab welded for maximum durability.

Ceiling plates and brackets, instead of wall anchors. Designed for ceiling compatibility and safe termination point elevation.

Anchor FlexPlates to structures. We use only the best lags based on the proper application: block, concrete, wood, or brick.

Example: Tapcon Large Diameter Concrete Screw: 3” x 1/2” (Concrete/Block)

What makes a FlexCage Concrete Lag safer? Our lags use a DOUBLE HELIX, creating better holding power in brick and block.

FlexCage Lags

Used to tension cable lines. Stronger turnbuckles = rigid lines and less netting sag.
