Custom Netting Enclosures, Unique Features

Friday, June 15th, 2012
It has been a very, very busy past few weeks – so unfortunately we haven’t had a bunch of extra time in order to update this blog as consistently as we’d prefer!  We’re also working on rolling out some really great new options for our customers through the Gourock.com site – and we’ll get the newest information online within the next couple of weeks and will get some helpful background information posted here as well.  In the meantime, we did want to post a series of articles highlighting some of the unique netting productions that have been in the mix over the last month.

Some of the more popular types of customized netting productions that we administer for our customers are 3-dimensional netting enclosures.  These are DuPont® knotted nylon nets that include vertical walls and a top/ceiling net that are all rope-edged (seamed) together with Dacron® ropes.  Some common types of uses for netting enclosures are applications like baseball/softball batting cage nets and golf impact/containment cage nets.  Gourock has years of experience supplying a huge variety of custom cage nets for these types of uses – and our customers range from private customers to very high-end professional installations.  In addition to these typical netting uses, enclosure nets are also used for various uses like aviary and zoo installations, sports facilities, animal containment, landfill/trash containment, and a host of other highly specialized applications.  So if you want to get some pricing or potential options for your particular enclosure needs, certainly feel free to contact us with your details and we can get back to you with pricing and background information.

Here are some examples of some recent netting enclosures that have been manufactured and shipped out to some of our appreciated customers.  Each example features some unique design characteristics and sizing/shape requirements, and these will help provide some good context into some of the options that are available for your consideration:
