Custom Nylon Nets Featuring Rope Riblines

Over the last few weeks there have been hundreds of customized nylon netting productions supplied by Gourock for a very wide range of customers and users.  From private and individual persons to large professional/commercial clients, nylon netting panels and fabrications have been produced and shipped out for dozens of unique applications and intended uses.  Many of the nets that are required to be manufactured include interesting features and details, mainly to enhance the feasibility of the final installation and the overall preferences of the user for whatever the netting is intended to accomplish.

One of the popular and useful features that is consistently included on many custom nylon netting jobs is a construction addition known as a "ribline".  Riblines are ropes that are sewn within the internal area of the mesh, and they add additional opportunities to clip/connect the netting to the structure or cabling that is to support it.  Gourock.com can quote and supply netting panel designs that feature rope riblines with nets that are constructed from the DuPont® Type 66-728 knotted nylon netting.  There are 3 mesh sizes, and multiple twine-thicknesses available in that material - so there will most always be an option that will be best suited for your intended application.

Here are some recent examples of nylon netting panels that were constructed with internal riblines:

Custom Nylon Nets for Commercial & Organizational Installations

Well, it has been an extremely busy late winter and early spring here at Gourock.com, with a very large amount of unique and customized netting productions heading out to customers all over the country!  With the snow just beginning to thaw in many parts of the US, a large number of our commercial and organizational customers have been taking delivery of their custom nets that they need to be prepared for their teams, practices, events, and spring business.  Gourock supplies a diverse spectrum of different mesh sizes and twine thicknesses that each have some typical uses and applications, ranging from sports like baseball and softball, golf, lacrosse, soccer, basketball, and tennis.  And of course, many other popular activities and athletic purposes in-between!
Most every commercial or organizational netting installation requires a fairly high degree of customization from the netting, with the most typical custom features involving the dimensions, the shape characteristics, and production enhancements like special bordering options or reinforcement materials.  We have highlighted many types of custom nylon netting panels and enclosures over the years throughout this blog and on the Gourock.com website, and here are some recent examples from over the last month.

Square Nylon Nets With Portals

There are many types of netting installations that require the finished product to feature a portal through the central area of the panel.  Often these portals are used to allow for objects to pass-through the netting while maintaining a protective barrier for the surrounding area (for instance, softball and baseball pitching machines), whereas another common instance is when some piece of structural equipment (like an air conditioner unit for example) needs to be accounted for as the netting itself is hanging over a particular region.  Gourock.com has supplied dozens of custom nets that feature customer-specified portal locations, and they all have had pretty unique purposes - but the end result always allows for our customers to maintain the flexibility of getting their protective barrier netting hung-up while taking into account their requirements for objects to easily breach the mesh as needed.

Gourock can quote and supply customized nets that integrate portals according to most any particular dimensions that you are aiming for.  Using the DuPont® knotted nylon netting and the 5/16" Dacron® rope bordering is very beneficial because there is a very wide range of twine thicknesses and mesh sizes to select from, and the final result is a net that is reinforced on all edges with extremely durable braided rope (sewn-in). 
The following drawings help demonstrate 5 different custom nylon netting productions for different clients over the last few weeks that have customized portal locations in their design.  Most of these nets were built from either the #36 X 1-3/4" knotted nylon netting, or the thicker #72 X 1-3/4" knotted nylon netting for maximum abrasion resistance and strength.

If you need a quotation on something similar, feel free to contact us with your details and we can take a look at it for you!

University of Wisconsin Netting Installation

The University of Wisconsin Recreational Sports Dept. is one of our very appreciated customers that has just recently wrapped-up a new netting installation within one of their training facilities.  The issue to be examined and remedied was a typical situation that many organizations face, which is to protect lighting and ceiling components from various objects that may impact them.  In this case, the UW needed to add a layer of protection across the entire span of one of their gymnasiums.

The solution for their needs was a series of netting panels built from the #21 X 1-3/4" DuPont® Twisted-Knotted Nylon Netting that were each constructed in a square mesh pattern, and bordered with 5/16" Dacron® Rope Borders.  The first part of the job required a couple of 13'-7" X 88' netting panels, and then shortly followed by 8 more netting panels that featured dimensions that were all around 24' X 44'.  The second round of netting also included some interior rope riblines that were fairly specifically located in order to exactly match the steel wires/cables that were already in-place at the gym (which were the connection/installation points for the netting panels).  You can view the details for the building sizes/locations for the second round of netting by viewing the images below.

For indoor barrier applications like this one, the #21 X 1-3/4" square mesh knotted nylon netting is an optimal selection because:

• #21 X 1-3/4" knotted nylon is extremely strong, but also a lightweight material
•  allows for a highly dependable usage/durability without adding stress on the installation supports
• allows for light to pass-through to keep the area functionally illuminated
• square mesh pattern is extremely user-friendly due to the 90º mesh configuration
• 1-3/4" mesh size blocks objects of a 2"+ diameter, making is it very versatile for many sports/athletic applications

These nets went from the quoting and designing process, to being produced/shipped and installed by UW within 3 weeks.  Take a look at the great photos of the job that were sent our way this week, and if you have some inquiries of your own for similar sorts of netting supply you can always contact Gourock.com with your questions.
