Baseball & Softball Netting
Baseball fields create memories that last for a lifetime. With the right baseball netting, backstop netting systems or tension netting, batting cages, and protective padding, sports facilities can maintain safe and appealing fields for many years.
National Sports Nets installs long-lasting baseball and softball field products that enhance experiences for players, fans and communities throughout Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
Baseball Backstop Netting Systems
When people think of what defines America, baseball makes the short list. Going to a baseball game is one of the country's top pastimes. Baseball backstop netting systems or tension netting protect spectators and prevent wild pitches and foul balls
from affecting passersby or belongings near the field. National Sports Nets supplies and installs state-of-the-art baseball batting cages
and backstop netting for minor league and professional baseball stadiums, park districts, and private (or traveling) team facilities. We also supply baseball netting for public and private high schools and college athletic facilities.
Made of high-quality carbon steel, our poles range in size from 2 to 48 inches in diameter. Each pole features a primer coating that prevents rust. The topcoat and hardener offer more protection from the elements. Each pole also includes a cap plate and attachment points necessary for the installation of our baseball netting. We engineer every baseball netting system to assure proper pole thickness, depth and compliance with the engineering codes for each individual state.
The cabled tension-pullback systems ensure that all fans can see the game. The pullback system makes it possible to extend the net past the dugout for additional protection during games. Each net consists of nylon, polyester, Dyneema or Plateena fibers for optimal visibility. Each net is cut on site for a perfect fit. National Sports Nets carries nets in a variety of gauges and will always recommend the best application for each system.
Many park districts and stadium managers choose to install scoreboard netting systems. These are especially important for facilities with LED scoreboards and scoreboards that are updated manually. With a retractable or fixed protective baseball netting system, scoreboards remain intact, crack free, and easy to read.

Baseball Field Foul Poles
Baseball Field Foul Poles
One of the most difficult calls to make in baseball or softball is a foul ball. With baseball field foul pole systems, umpires will have an easier time judging whether or not a ball is foul. These poles also assist umpires with deciding whether a fly ball is a home run or out of play.
National Sports Nets designs standard and customized baseball foul poles in any color. Each design meets baseball regulations. For park districts, recreational leaders may need baseball foul poles that meet Little League Baseball standards for tee ball, minor league and other levels of play. High school and college athletic directors can also choose sizes that meet their league's requirements.
Standard baseball foul poles include a 4,6, 8 or 10” -inch diameter tube made from heavy-wall steel or aluminum. The heights range from 22 to 40 feet above ground, with additional length available for mounting and stability below grade. Each baseball field foul pole features sandblasted and primed or powder coating for a long lifespan, rust prevention and high visibility.
Baseball Field Covers
Baseball Field Covers
Indiana and Illinois The Midwest experiences variable weather. The first day of the baseball season could be 80 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny, or it might be cold and rainy or snowy. Baseball field covers protect baseball fields from treacherous ice and snow and hailstones that damage turf grass and artificial turf. Field covers also protect fields from extreme heat, heavy rain and strong winds.
Infield covers protect the field from home base to the pitcher's mound. Bunt zone turf protectors offer protection and guidance during the training season and practice sessions. With a full baseball field cover, athletic directors and park managers can protect the entire field, from home plate to each base and the pitcher's mound in the middle. Spot covers protect smaller areas, such as one base or the pitcher's mound. Baseline covers prevent the dirt from washing out between bases and keep the turf cleaner during heavy rain.
Full-field covers offer easy installation with strong straps. Minimal alignment is needed, so they're quick to place during a sudden rainstorm. All types of covers can be weighted or unweighted and roll up for easy storage and deployment.
National Sports Nets produces baseball field covers in a variety of standard and customized sizes. Custom strap stitching facilitates the placement and removal of the cover during inclement weather. Each field cover features reinforced hems, so they last for years without unraveling. The strong thread prevents fraying and keeps the cover looking great. Customized graphics for baseball field covers reinforce team messaging and create a cohesive look for branding and marketing purposes.
