Frequently Asked Questions

We are not limited to an area or region of service. Our installation crews will travel where we are requested for netting system installations or consultations within the bounds of U.S. laws and our staff’s safety.

Yes! We offer turnkey sports and barrier netting systems. Everything is inclusive of concept, design, engineering, and installation.

Lead time to begin an installation can vary. However, the average lead time is 2-4 weeks. If your netting system is smaller in size and doesn’t require the number of materials as the average netting system, the lead time could be sooner. If your netting system is larger (i.e., 100’+ steel poles), your lead time could be 6-8 weeks or more.

We always do our best to streamline logistics, current installation projects, and the crew travel to accommodate our customers’ needs. But, be that it may, there are times when our installation calendar is quite full, and projects may need to be scheduled out a little further to begin. We do have the ability to mobilize additional crews if required for rush or emergency requests.

If you’re willing and able, and have the equipment necessary to install one of our netting systems, then yes, of course. We can offer consultations and have one of our team members guide you through the installation process. Unfortunately, however, it cannot be engineered by our team and we cannot warranty the netting systems installed by others.

The average turnaround time for completion varies based on the type of netting system. Here are some average completion times for turnkey netting installation services:

A backstop netting system typically takes an average of 5 days to complete.
A standard driving range netting system usually takes an average of 14 days to complete.
A larger steel pole-supported driving range netting system typically takes an average of 25 days to complete.

Each netting system is unique, and completion times can vary depending on factors such as the size of the system, the materials used, engineering requirements, location, and the season of installation. If your budget allows for expedited production, multiple crews, and additional equipment, it may be possible to speed up the installation process if needed.

Please visit the “Our Process” page to view more about our installation process.

Yes, once the installation is complete, the foreman or field superintendent on-site will conduct a post-installation inspection with you, also known as a substantial completion walk-through, and you will have to sign-off on our work. This inspection covers all the poles, netting panels, cables, and hardware. Inspections are also conducted periodically throughout the installation process. Each phase of the installation undergoes an inspection – pole installation, cable and hardware installation, and finally, the netting installation.

Gorilla Netting will supply, deliver, and install the poles. If there are existing poles in good condition that we can work with, we will. If there are local suppliers in your area, we can work with them as well. We will work with you to determine the best course of action if you have preferences on local suppliers, community donations, etc.

Our netting systems are custom designed and built for each of our customers, depending on the application and their individual needs. As a result, the cost can vary drastically depending on the dimensions of the netting system and materials used.

Gorilla Netting can help you with a preliminary netting system design and develop a cost estimate based on the design. Give us a call or email sales@gorillanetting.com to speak with one of our estimators.

A barrier netting system offers several benefits depending on its application. Here are just some of the key advantages:

Protection: A barrier netting system provides protection for people, property, traffic, crops, and the environment.
Containment: It helps contain balls of play, technology like UAVs, and litter and debris.
Cost Savings: By installing a windbreak fence, you can save money by preventing valuable product from blowing away. It also reduces the risk of liability suits for injuries and damaged property.
Security: With a visual barrier such as a privacy screen fence, you can block the view of unwanted passersby.
Contraband Mitigation: A contraband netting system can help mitigate or stop the flow of contraband from specific entry points.

The answer to this question is widely dependent on what application the netting is being used for. A netting system works by containing, deflecting, or securing, depending on its application. For instance, in sports, a barrier netting system can contain or deflect balls of play and other sports equipment like bats. In the field of new technology, such as UAV software and hardware, netting enclosures are used to contain and secure these innovations.

In terms of security, netting systems like anti-contraband netting are utilized to mitigate, deter, or stop the flow of contraband. This can be achieved by preventing contraband from being dropped into jails, prisons, or detention centers by drones, or by stopping contraband from being tossed or launched over security perimeter fences into areas accessible by inmates or persons who may cause harm.

The ideal height for your netting system depends on several factors including the type of sport, location, footprint, level of play, security requirements, and the grade and level of the ground. As all our netting systems are custom designed and engineered to meet the specific needs of each application, it would be beneficial to discuss your requirements in detail. Please feel free to contact us via phone or email at sales@gorillanetting.com to speak to a Gorilla Netting representative who can assist you further.

Gorilla Netting Systems are designed to last for a long time, with proper maintenance. While our retractable systems and emergency separation systems may require occasional maintenance, the structure itself can last for many years if cared for properly. After severe weather, it’s advisable to check for debris caught in the net to prevent potential tears.

The lifespan of the netting material can vary based on use, what kind of material the netting is made from, and exposure to UV light and severe weather conditions. On average, typical nylon netting material can last between 8-10 years or more, while the structure itself can endure much longer.

Yes! That’s another benefit of our netting systems. The netting panels can be replaced whenever required. In fact, the netting panels could be removed in preparation for approaching severe storms and placed back after the storm passes.

If there were a random tear in a panel or other type of damage, it’s a lot easier and less costly to replace a netting panel or even two over replacing an entire system of netting.

Netting systems are designed to be durable and long-lasting, but they do require maintenance under certain conditions. After severe weather or storms, it’s advisable to inspect the netting for any debris that could have become caught. This debris can cause tears or other damage if not removed promptly.

In addition to post-storm checks, regular inspections are recommended to monitor the condition of the netting and address any wear and tear that may occur over time. This is crucial for maintaining the effectiveness of the netting system and ensuring it continues to provide the necessary protection or containment.

Lastly, it’s important to conduct regular maintenance to prevent potential safety hazards. Any damage or deterioration of the netting could pose a risk to people or property. By keeping up with maintenance, you can ensure the safety and effectiveness of your netting system.

Typically, Gorilla Netting will use carbon steel pipe and structural tubing made in the United States. Depending on engineering requirements and the location of the project the steel material used can be changed.

No. Depending on the footprint required for your system, it can be designed and engineered not to use down guy supports. However, the majority of the time, Gorilla Netting recommends the use of down guy supports.

Yes, our netting systems are designed to withstand snow and ice loads. We understand that these conditions can be challenging, but with the right design, netting material, and preventative measures, our systems are built to endure. This is a key reason why we offer retractable and breakaway netting systems, which can adapt to changing weather conditions.

Our team of experts takes into account the local climate and potential snow and ice loads when designing each system. We use high-quality materials that are resistant to the effects of snow and ice, ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of the netting system.

In addition, we offer retractable and breakaway netting systems that can be adjusted or released to prevent damage from excessive snow or ice loads. These systems are designed to withstand the elements while also providing the flexibility needed to adapt to changing conditions.

We understand the importance of a reliable netting system that can stand up to the elements, and we are committed to providing solutions that meet this need.
