We
don't offer a specific net installation guide, because
it mostly depends on the frame/cable application you are
using to attach it. But here are some tips to keep in
mind:
Net
"Sag":
- It
is recommended to allow approximately 8"-12"
of net to "sag" on the ground (i.e. if you
have a net which is 12'H, you should hang it at about
the 11' point.
- The
main benefits of this technique are to prevent balls
from escaping, and also to reduce tension in your side
walls -- if your tunnel is too tight when impacted by
a ball, there is added pressure on the netting fibers,
which accelerates the overall deterioration process
- It's
ideal for your net to "flex" and absorb the
impact of the ball, when struck.
-
If you are looking for an extremely tight & "boxy"
look, you will need to secure the net with anchors around
the bottom perimeter, to prevent balls from escaping.
Just keep in mind that the tighter your net is pulled,
(or the more the ball bounces off the net instead of
being absorbed into it), the shorter the overall life-span
will be.
Perimeter:
- It's
recommended to allow a minimum of 12" around the
entire perimeter (sides & top) of your tunnel --
but upwards of 36" is ideal.
- This
is to allow for "net stretch", to prevent
injury or damage.
- Keep
in mind that you may also want to leave a "walk-way"
around your tunnel - in this case you will need at least
2' on each side.
- To
give yourself the needed distance between your frame
structure and net, you can use multiple steel snap hooks,
zip-ties, or tie-off ropes to connect the net to the
structure.
