Sports Netting Installation in Florida
Engineered for high UV, humidity, coastal corrosion, and hurricane wind loads.
Gorilla Netting was born in Florida
Florida is one of the most demanding environments for outdoor netting in the country. UV exposure, humidity, salt air, daily thunderstorms, and hurricane-force winds all influence design and material specifications.
A system installed without Florida-specific engineering considerations can fail prematurely. We design Florida systems to handle these conditions from day one.
Best materials for Florida
- Nylon (UV-treated or tarred): high tensile strength and impact absorption
- Polyester: strong inherent UV resistance and minimal water absorption for large systems
- Dyneema / UHMWPE: premium option immune to UV/water; near-invisible sightlines; long warranties available
Note: HDPE is generally better suited to indoor/light-duty and DIY applications than permanent outdoor installs.
High UV Exposure
Florida’s UV index regularly exceeds 10 — material selection and UV treatment matter for long-term performance.
Coastal Corrosion
Salt air accelerates corrosion on hardware and fittings; systems must be specified accordingly.
Hurricane Wind Loads
Wind-load engineering is a core requirement — not an optional upgrade — for many Florida installations.
Breakaway Options
Breakaway systems can protect your structural investment by allowing panels to detach safely during extreme wind events.
Services available in Florida
Gorilla Netting provides full turnkey services across Florida — from sports netting to commercial containment and specialty systems.
Hurricane engineering
Florida wind-load code matters. In many coastal and hurricane-prone zones, that means heavier pole sizing, deeper foundations, and cable specifications built for sustained high winds.
Breakaway panels can turn an extreme wind event from a catastrophic structural failure into a re-hanging job — protecting the structural system (the most expensive part) from collapse.
FAQ
Does Gorilla Netting operate in Florida?
Yes. Gorilla Netting is headquartered in Holiday, Florida and serves projects statewide.
What netting material is best for Florida?
UV-treated/tarred nylon and polyester are common outdoor choices. Dyneema (UHMWPE) is a premium option with exceptional longevity. Systems must be engineered for Florida conditions.
How does hurricane risk affect netting design?
Florida systems should be engineered to local wind-load requirements. Breakaway panels can help protect poles and cables from catastrophic failure during extreme wind events.
