The challenge

What the field needed

Millennium High School's baseball field backs right up to a block wall, with homes directly behind it. The field needed tall netting behind and above its existing chain link backstop and dugout.

What we built

The system we designed and installed

Gorilla Netting set three tall two-piece steel poles. The holes were dug by hydrovac, the footings were poured from a concrete truck, and a crane raised each base section before the upper section was lowered onto it.

From a boom lift, the crew strung cables across the top and middle and hung two bays of black netting between the poles.
