Product Overview
Douglas Twisted Knotted Nylon Netting features 1-3/4 inch square mesh, the standard size for baseball and softball applications, and is treated for maximum UV and weather resistance to withstand outdoor use. The black nylon material offers high tensile strength suitable for medium to high impact backstop and protective screen applications.
The netting is available in multiple weight options to match different use cases: lighter weights like #21 (237 lb. break strength) are suited for foul ball and low impact protection, while medium weights like #36 (345 lb.) work well for high school batting cages and collegiate practice dividers. Heavier options such as #42, #48, #60, #72, and #96 (up to 1,112 lb. break strength) are built for college/pro batting cages and Major League backstop or high-risk spectator protection.
Every weight of this netting is finished with a 1/4 inch solid braid sewn rope border, which simplifies installation across all applications, from indoor and outdoor batting cages to high impact barrier netting.
