From concept to completion.
With more than a decade of experience in designing and building safety netting systems of all types we know what works, what’s easy to use, and what will last. Our Project Services Group can assist you through every stage of your baseball netting project whether you are an architect, installer, or end-user. Protective netting, barrier netting, partial net backstops, full net backstops, tie-back backstops — which one is right for you? Browse this comprehensive guide to baseball, softball, or soccer safety netting systems and let us know how we can help.
How We Can Help
We’ve been down this road before…
Our Project Services Group will provide:
- A dedicated, trained staff to assist in all aspects of the design, fabrication, and delivery of your netting system
- No-fee design support to help guide you through:
- performance vs. cost considerations
- system function
- proper material selection
- support structure engineering
- Wind load analysis of your support structure to ensure a safe, up-to-code design (certification by a professional engineer available for all 50 states)
- Design innovation to improve performance, such as:
- hoisting systems to allow for quick, easy put-up and take-down
- tensioning systems to allow adjustment from the ground — no more ladders or lifts for seasonal “re-tensioning”!
- proprietary overload protection systems that further reduce the risk of poles failing in strong winds
- Quality materials to choose from — from netting to posts to hardware, we use the best materials available to match your budget
- Made in the USA products allow for design flexibility, reduced lead times, and ensure superior quality control

Barrier Netting
Ideal for soccer or multi-sport fields.
Our barrier net systems are designed for easy removal and deployment from ground level — no ladders or lifts required after the initial installation.
Superior quality hoisting blocks and halyards lift the net into place, while the top support cable and our innovative tensioning system easily removes sag.
Just as with our TUFFframe Batting Cages, our Barrier Net Systems are available with or without galvanized steel uprights. To fit your space perfectly, contact us for customized netting system configurations. Ground sleeves, plugs, and aluminum uprights are available upon request.
Avoid costly mistakes by knowing the wind speed rating before buying your net system. We can help.
Protective Netting
Customized protection for your facility.
From simple sketches, photographs, blueprints or CAD drawings we’ll know what questions to ask to guide you through the design process. Our Project Services Group will ensure you’ll be getting the best solution for your field.
- SUPPORT STRUCTURES We’ll help design and fabricate support structures for your nets or we’ll help you find a local supplier.
- NET PANELS All net panels are made to order in the USA. We can produce panels for any sport, in any size or shape.
- AESTHETICS You’ll want it to look good, and we make sure it does.
- LEAVE UP or TAKE DOWN We specialize in net systems that can be raised and lowered from the ground, but we also can design permanent installations.
- EXPERIENCE Our experience and knowledge will save you time and money while ensuring your spectators and players are protected.
Beacon Nets: Custom Design and Proper Materials
We design net systems to best fit your application. Our materials include fully UV treated nylon, Dyneema® multifilament poly (MFP), and high tenacity polypropylene — knotted or knotless with mesh construction ranging from 1/2″ to 4″, and tensile strength up to 720 lbs. Available in black, white, or green. Fire retardant mesh is available for indoor use.
We often recommend finishing panels with vinyl-reinforced hems and borders to add strength and maintain shape. Brass grommets are used to carry and distribute loads evenly. Sewn or hand-tied rope borders are also used in some applications.
Form engineering-to drawings-to completion, we’ll make sure it’s done right and within budget.
Full & Partial Net Backstops
Entrenched stability.
Our Project Services Group will design your backstop around your needs and to your specifications. With Full Net and Partial Net Backstops you can take your facility up a notch and bring better sight lines and more safety to your spectators.
Full Net Backstops are a great way to protect people and property from errant balls and offers a professional finish to your ball park.
Partial Net Backstops combine an extended net panel with an existing chainlink backstop for added protection. We have designed canopy systems, added wings to extend protection down the foul lines, or simply added height to an existing backstop.
The benefits of a Full or Partial Net Backstop include:
- ECONOMICAL Compared to large chainlink backstops, that can be very expensive.
- LARGE SPAN CAPABILITY Reduce obstructed views that are common with other backstop options.
- SEASONAL or PERMANENT Raise or lower the netting easily from the ground for seasonal removal or leave it up permanently.
- CUSTOM SIZES AND SHAPES We can design extensions or additions for your existing backstops and partial walls.
Tie-Back Backstops
Unobstructed perfection.
Over the years we’ve developed an expertise in the design & fabrication of Tie-Back Backstop Systems. These professional looking systems replace chain link fence-based backstops moving the poles behind spectators to provide an unobstructed and safe view of the game.
The top support cable can be tensioned by cables run to poles located behind the backstop or to a press box or other existing structure. This system can also be configured for easy raising and lowering from the ground.
A selection of net materials guarantees cost effective performance whether installed on a Little League field or in a Major League stadium. Bring unobstructed perfection to your fields.
The benefits of a Tie-Back Backstop include:
- FEWER POLES Minimize installation costs and eliminate ricochet hazards behind home plate.
- UNOBSTRUCTED Spectators have a safe, clean view of the game.
- SEASONAL or PERMANENT Raise or lower the netting easily from the ground for seasonal removal or leave it up permanently.
- ANY LEVEL Size and configure your netting for any level of play.
- PLANNED INTEGRATION Get the ultimate “pro look” — economically — when you combine a Tie-Back Backstop System with the Beacon Stadium Wall
