POLES

The heavy-duty steel poles are a massive 10-3/4” OD X 0.375” wall. Other pole sizes are available by request. The weatherproof black powder coat finish ensures these poles will last and keep their professional finish.

NETTING

When protecting spectators from errant balls, it’s important to choose the right netting to go with your backstop system. We recommend high-impact 1-3/4″ square mesh baseball netting. Douglas® professional netting has up to a 94% visibility rating and has maximum UV and weather resistance.

This major league professional backstop netting provides maximum protection with maximum viewing. The Douglas® Professional #12 Knotted Dyneema 1-3/4” SQ mesh netting has a 308 lb. break strength yet offers 94% visibility, making it the netting of choice for backstop installations. This twisted, knotted, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMPE) material is treated for maximum UV and weather resistance for the utmost longevity. The netting perimeter is finished with a sewn rope border. Other netting can be substituted.

PADDING

If you have a backstop wall, make sure your field is safe for athletes when they take the field. Custom wall padding and other facility padding help protect your players from potential injury due to wall collisions behind the plate.

Take your padding to the next level by adding printed graphics to promote your team affiliation or support sponsors.
