Product Overview

In short

The Bownet Elite Protection is an 8 ft. x 8 ft. portable protection net built for semi-pro and elite baseball and softball players, featuring a steel frame with composite BOW poles and heavy gauge netting. It assembles in 90 seconds without tools and packs into a 48 in. carry bag weighing 30 lbs., making it suitable for both practice and travel.

✓ Authorized Bownet Dealer — ships brand-new with the full Bownet warranty

The Elite Protection net is designed as the largest and strongest option in Bownet's line of baseball and softball training and protection nets. It uses Bownet's EAS (Energy Absorption System) technology to diffuse ball energy across the net and poles, which helps extend the net's lifespan and adds stability and flexibility on impact. The frame is built from powder coated steel with thick composite BOW poles, paired with heavy gauge nylon netting and a strong canvas trim for durability.

Set up takes about 90 seconds with no tools or screws required, and the steel base includes non-marking rubber feet suited for indoor or outdoor use. The net collapses along with its frame into an included carrying bag measuring 48 in. x 7 in. x 6 in., making storage and transport manageable. The complete set includes the Elite Protection net, 8 ft. x 8 ft. ground frame, composite BOW poles, ground stakes, and the carry bag.

At 30 lbs. product weight and shipping at 33 lbs. in a 51 in. x 9.5 in. x 9 in. box, this net is positioned for semi-pro and elite-level baseball and softball players who need a reliable, high-repetition training tool. A one year limited manufacturer warranty is available on this product.
