As a full-service netting company, Gorilla Netting specializes in designing, engineering, and installing netting systems for drone testing and training facilities. We provide netted drone enclosures and customized solutions for the unique needs of your drone technology operations.
Whether you're building a new drone testing facility or looking to upgrade an existing one, Gorilla Netting can provide the netted drone enclosures you need.
Netted enclosures are engineered as complete volumes (roof, walls, poles, and anchoring designed together), so flight testing and pilot training stay inside a controlled envelope.
Protect your drone technology and surrounding property from potential accidents during testing or new pilot training. Our enclosures provide a secure environment for your drone operations.
Tailor your drone enclosure to fit your facility's unique layout and design, in custom sizes and configurations, so it integrates with your operations.
Our netting systems are built to withstand the elements, providing long-lasting protection for your drone technology.
Our drone netting systems are engineered by licensed professional engineers for the safety and performance of your UAV operations.
Our crew works with you to develop a customized installation plan that meets your specific needs and timeline, keeping disruptions to your operations to a minimum.
Typical ranges for turnkey installs, so you can size the budget before you request a formal quote. Every enclosure is engineered to its site, so these are starting points, not a price list.

Our team scopes dimensions, aircraft requirements, and structural engineering before crew mobilization. Here's what a typical schedule looks like.
3 to 5 business days
Send dimensions, photos, a site plan if available, and a description of the containment goal. Remote estimating from photos and plans is valid for most projects. A site visit isn't always required at the quote stage.
1 to 2 weeks
Pole design, cable sizing, foundation specs, and wind-load documentation are finalized. Facilities requiring stamped drawings for permitting receive those as part of this deliverable.
2 to 4 weeks
Standard knotless netting and galvanized cable are typically in the shorter range. Custom mesh specifications or specialty pole fabrication push toward the longer end.
3 to 7 days
Most projects install in 3 to 7 days. Larger projects can take 2 weeks or more, and we set that schedule with you up front. We phase work around your operating schedule so you stay open where you can.
1 day
Panels are tensioned to the span and load, then we walk the system with you, confirm the scope is complete, and hand over warranty sign-off. One phone number, one warranty.
Times vary with project size. Your schedule is confirmed with your quote.
A note on permitting
The owner or general contractor submits the permit application. We provide stamped engineering drawings to support that application. We don't handle permitting on behalf of owners, but we give you everything you need to move it through.
Drone enclosure installs include footprint layout for your UAV operations, height and mesh selection for rotor wash and ballistics, wood or steel poles, grounding and access doors as specified, FAA-conscious design coordination, and professional netted drone enclosure installation by Gorilla field crews.
Mesh depends on drone size, test protocols, and whether the enclosure is for R&D, training, or flight certification. We specify panel sizes and breakaway options after reviewing aircraft dimensions and operating procedures. See our drone enclosure requirements guide.
Yes. Gorilla Netting has installed netted drone enclosures for universities, government agencies, and private R&D clients across the United States.
