Professional Pole Setting: Crews Mobilize to Your Site

Gorilla Netting's pole setting division provides professional pole setting and foundation work for sports facilities, commercial properties, and industrial applications. Our derrick digger truck handles foundations within equipment depth; when engineering requires deeper drilling or large pours, we coordinate licensed trade partners. Our experienced crews use specialized equipment to ensure installations meet structural requirements.

From small batting cage installations to large-scale driving range pole systems, we have the expertise and equipment to handle projects of any size. We coordinate with our netting and lighting teams for turnkey solutions.

What Happens After You Call

Here's what a typical schedule looks like, from first call to final walkthrough.

  1. 01

    Site info and quote

    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.

  2. 02

    Engineering review

    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.

  3. 03

    Material lead time

    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.

  4. 04

    Installation

    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.

  5. 05

    Tensioning and walkthrough

    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.

Pole Setting Services FAQ

What does pole setting for netting include?

Gorilla Pole Setters drill foundations, set wood or steel poles to engineered depths, pour concrete as specified, and coordinate with netting or lighting crews for aligned bolt patterns, from batting cages to 180-foot driving range poles.

Do you set poles without installing netting?

Yes. Pole-only contracts are available for owners who source netting separately. We still engineer embedment and pole class for your wind and load requirements.

Do you provide pole setting nationwide?

Yes. Gorilla Netting pole setting crews mobilize to project sites across the United States and internationally with specialized drilling rigs and OSHA-compliant field operations, not limited to Florida or the Southeast.

How can I get pricing for pole setting?

Provide pole count, heights, soil notes, and whether the job is standalone or paired with netting. Request a project quote at gorillanetting.com/get-quote or call 1-800-274-1079. Pricing is scope-based after we review site layout, heights, materials, and access, not a flat per-foot rate.
