HDPE Netting vs. Nylon Nets
When buying sports netting, whether
it is for baseball batting cage nets,
baseball backstop netting, golf nets, lacrosse backstop nets, soccer
backstop netting, etc., it is important to educate yourself with what you
are getting. There are many materials of
netting out on the market and everyone spins their material to make it better.
Lets face it, it is because they want to sell the inventory they invested their
money into. We will compare the two top
options on the sport netting market, HDPE vs. Nylon.
First lets get to the basics of
what each material is comprised of. Lets start with HDPE (High Density Polyethylene).
HDPE is a fancy name for a product that is derived of plastic. Although it has
a large strength to density ratio, HDPE in netting will not hold up to extreme
persistent weather elements including heat, dryness or snow. It has a burning
point of 248 degrees F. Typically HDPE is used in plastic bottles, corrosion
resistant piping and plastic lumber. By putting treatment on a HDPE or poly
material, it is sort of similar to putting a breathing tube on a person who has
lost any power. You are basically keeping the death of the poly net prolonged
for a few more months. Nylon netting is used in clothes fabric, bridal veils,
package paper, carpets, musical strings and rope to name a few things. It has a
melting point of anywhere from 374-664 degree F. Nylon is also a softer and
easier product to work with the hands when finished. Now that we have the
principles of what each material consists of, we can now move onto why nylon
netting is the ideal choice for batting
cage nets, backstop netting, soccer
backstop netting and golf nets.
So you have a Major League,
college, high school or little league facility that requires netting
replacement. Not knowing anything, you do the research online and find HDPE,
which states High Density! And then you see Nylon. High Density sounds catchy
and the pricing may be eye catching but as we all know, the cost of the Yugo
was also eye catching. Too bad the Yugo would only last a few years. It is just
a no brainer. Everyone wants to buy custom netting for his or her baseball,
softball, soccer lacrosse or golf course that is of good quality and very
affordable. It is true that you pay for what you get. But what if there exists
a company that offers quality custom sports netting cheaper than the HDPE!!. It
is a win for all parties involved. Netsof America Inc. stands behind their 100% Twisted Knotted Nylon netting and
will not be beat on the price of a custom built batting cage, backstop net or
odd shape net. Give them a shot. You will not be disappointed. Lastly, could
you all imagine if we lived in a world where all our clothes were made of plastic
(HDPE)? Scary! Imagine it in the south where the summer months hit over 100
degrees. IF you would not wear plastic in the heat, why leave your backstop
net or batting cage net out there also that is plastic. Do your
organization a favor and call Nets of
America Inc. for the best prices of quality nylon nets in the country.
