Facility Netting & Safety Barriers

Indoor Sports Facility Field Barriers: What This Collection Covers

Indoor sports facility field barriers do two jobs at once — they protect people from stray balls and they carve one large space into usable zones. In this collection you'll find prefabricated divider nets, pickleball court divider systems, batting tunnels and cages, and the raw netting used to build custom barriers. Brands carried are Jaypro, Douglas, Bownet, and First Team, and the range runs from a single $1 replacement part up to complete tunnel and cage systems near $11,324.

If you're separating a gym into practice courts, the Douglas Quality Prefabricated Divider Net measures 10′ x 60′ — a common size for hanging between activity areas. For pickleball, Douglas offers both movable and indoor/outdoor court divider systems so you can reconfigure a multipurpose court between sessions.

Sports Field Safety Netting and Barrier Materials

Sports field safety netting in this collection is available both as finished barriers and as bulk mesh you cut and hang to fit. Two Douglas netting materials appear in the product titles: Douglas #420 Knotless Pylon Netting in 7/8″ square mesh, and Douglas #18 Twisted Knotted Nylon Netting in 1″ square mesh. Smaller mesh sizes hold back smaller balls; the 7/8″ and 1″ options here suit baseball, softball, and general facility use.

Mesh choice matters when planning a barrier. Knotless netting tends to sit flatter against a frame, while twisted knotted nylon is a traditional build for backstops and cages. For batting applications, Jaypro's replacement cage nets are made from #42 weather-treated nylon mesh, and replacement panels are listed in specific dimensions such as 16′6″W x 12′H x 16′6″D for the Line Drive cage.

Batting Cages, Tunnels, and Netting Poles

Batting tunnels are the largest group here. Jaypro batting tunnel frames come in 55 ft. and 70 ft. lengths, in Mega and Professional Outdoor series, and in single, stackable, and multiple-tunnel-adaptor configurations. Mounting styles vary too — surface mounted and semi-permanent outdoor frames are both listed, along with ground sleeves for the Mega Tunnel. That lets you match the barrier to your slab, turf, or field.

For netting poles, Bownet offers replacement BOW poles for baseball and softball nets in selectable sizes — the closest match in this catalog to composite sports netting poles. Bownet also carries portable options like the Big Mouth 2 for quick-setup practice. On the cage side, Jaypro's Big League Series Bomber All-Star cage anchors the heavy-duty end, with replacement parts including thud pads, vinyl skirts, ricochet cushions, and replacement pipe sets so you can service a cage without replacing it whole.

Mounting Kits: Wall, Ceiling, and Cable Systems

Hanging netting systems in a gym or facility depends on the structure overhead. Jaypro offers a Wall Mounting Kit for gymnasium installations plus several ceiling mounting kits: parallel direct-attached, perpendicular, and a parallel kit spanning 8 ft. to 12 ft. on center. For tunnels, cable-supported and cable-suspended kits let you run netting where direct attachment isn't practical.

Choosing a kit comes down to your ceiling structure, the on-center spacing of your joists or beams, and whether you want the barrier fixed or retractable. Confirm your building measurements before ordering, since the parallel ceiling kits are sized to specific spans.

Who These Barriers Suit

This collection fits schools, training academies, rec centers, and private facilities. Portable Bownet gear suits coaches who move between fields; prefabricated Douglas divider nets and pickleball systems suit multipurpose gyms; and the Jaypro tunnels, cages, and mounting kits suit permanent or semi-permanent installations. Replacement nets, pads, and pipes across the catalog make it easy to keep existing barriers in service.
