Custom nets can be used for a variety of applications. From batting cages, ball stop net systems and pitch divider nets to bird exclusion coverage over retention ponds, tanks or parking garages.
The right net is key for a successful fishing experience. The mesh size will vary depending on the bait targeted.
Animal Containment
Custom nets can be made to your preferred size and dimensions. This includes sports nets, barrier nets, golf practice nets, bird and animal containment nets and more.
Historically, a net was a tangled mass of vegetable or animal fibres and cord, the intersections looped or knotted to form a mesh. Today’s nets are generally fabricated from synthetic materials, although hand-woven vegetable fibre nets have also been used since Upper Paleolithic times.
Stainless steel animal tensile wire mesh nets are commonly used for zoo enclosures. They allow for optimal viewing of animals while protecting keepers and visitors. These nets are able to be formed into virtually any shape and can also accommodate large animals like bears, monkeys and lions. Government agencies and biologists use trap nets to sample fish populations. These nets are staked at the bottom of lakes and estuaries, forming a labyrinth that fish enter but cannot escape. The catch is then collected at the cod end of the net.
Safety
Custom nets can be used to protect people from falling off of a building or other structure. These nets are often more expensive than standard nets because they require more material to build them. They also may need to be reinforced in certain areas to be able to support the weight of someone walking on them.
Block-off nets are single panels of netting with floats on the top and leads on the bottom. They form a labyrinth-like chamber into which fish can enter but from which they cannot escape. They are primarily used in commercial fishing for salmon, trout and eels, but can be made to catch birds and other animals as well.
We can provide nets that are made to your specifications, including netting sizes and shapes. You can use our online net calculator to configure a made-to-measure safety net, then submit your specifications for pricing and lead time. You can also request a consultation from our team of experts to talk about the specifics of your project.
Transportation
Nets have a long history of use dating back to prehistoric times. Primitive netting was fabricated from vegetable fibres (bark, sinew, leaves, stems, and roots) or animal tissues (hair, hide, and skin). Modern nets are made from both synthetic materials such as polypropylene and polyethylene and natural vegetal fibres such as cotton, hemp, and flax.
Some types of netting, such as seine or trawl nets, are designed to surround fish and trap them inside. The most popular of these are beach seine nets which can be hauled onto beaches with their catch, and trawls which are dragged behind boats to capture fish on the bottom or in midwater.
While netting is commonly used for transportation, it can be fashioned into many other types of nets that are useful for animal containment, safety, and sports netting. Whether you’re looking for batting cages or a more permanent net solution, we can work with you to find a custom netting solution for your application.
Scaffold
Scaffold safety nets provide protection for construction workers and those around them from falling debris. This plastic safety netting helps to reduce accidents and improves productivity, while complying with local regulations for worksite safety. This scaffolding protection netting is available in various sizes and can be digitally printed with custom logos. It is an excellent option for commercial or environmental projects.
The netting is constructed of high-quality, durable, long-lasting materials. It won't shrink, mildew or rot in harsh conditions. It also features a heavy-gauge headband that is lock-sewn and polyester based. This netting is available in both knotted and knotless varieties.
