Elevate Your Game with Professional Baseball and Softball Netting Solutions
At Gorilla Netting, we understand the importance of a safe and high-performing sports facility for your baseball and softball teams. That's why we offer baseball and softball netting solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Baseball is America's pastime, but when a baseball or bat leaves the field of play and takes aim at a fan in the stands, it can become a dangerous situation and an additional liability. Gorilla Netting can help mitigate those dangers with a protective baseball netting system.

What baseball netting protects
- Fans in the stands, protected from foul balls and the occasional errant bat
- Spectators, parking areas, and adjacent properties along the foul lines and outfield
Baseball & Softball Netting Applications
We can design, engineer, and install a protective barrier netting system for any facility. Whether you want to upgrade an existing netting system, add a completely new inline netting system, or install a new cable-suspended tie-back backstop, our team can do the job.
- Backstop Netting: Protect spectators behind home plate with cable-suspended tie-back backstop systems that reduce field-of-view obstructions.
- Foul Line / Outfield Netting: Extended netting along foul lines to protect spectators, parking areas, and adjacent properties from errant balls and bats.
- Sports Complex Netting: Complete netting solutions for multi-field sports complexes requiring comprehensive coverage and protection.
Benefits of Baseball Netting Systems
Investing in professional baseball and softball netting solutions can provide numerous benefits for your sports facility:
- Increased safety for players, coaches, and spectators
- Reduced field-of-view obstructions from the stands
- No more dented fence backstops
- Improved aesthetics and overall appearance
- Compliance with industry standards
- Long-term cost savings, by reducing the need for constant replacement due to wear and tear
- UV and weather resistant materials
Systems are built with materials designed to withstand the toughest weather conditions and constant impact from baseballs and softballs. By reducing time searching for lost baseballs and distractions, they let you focus on improving your game.
Every system can be customized to fit your specific sports field layout and dimensions, ensuring a proper fit and maximum coverage. Optional patented breakaway netting allows netting panels to detach safely under excess load, protecting your poles, cables, and the integrity of the entire system.

High-Tenacity Polypropylene
Weather-resistant netting option that provides excellent durability and UV protection for outdoor installations.

Here's what a typical schedule looks like, from first call to final walkthrough.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Baseball & Softball Netting FAQ
Can you replace only the netting on an existing backstop frame?
Often yes, if poles, cables, and hardware pass inspection. We evaluate existing structure capacity before re-hanging new #36 or specified mesh panels.
Do you install baseball and softball netting nationwide?
Yes. Gorilla Netting is a US-based specialty contractor headquartered in Florida with field operations in Kentucky. Our crews mobilize to turnkey install sites across the United States and internationally. Location is not a barrier.
