What height do I need? This is the single most common question asked regarding golf and sports netting. "Every situation is unique which is why we like to meet with the customer on-site to provide recommendations and listen to the customer's ideas. We also provide input on what has worked for our customers to help determine a site specific design". Typically golf and sports barriers vary in height from 20 to 160 feet. Judge Netting provides free estimates at various heights and lengths to help determine the scope of work and assist in budgeting and planning. Factors affecting height include wind speed, city codes and restrictions, type of ball used, safety concerns, etc. We can apply our experience with other similar facilities and develop several options. We also work closely with and can recommend a consultant to provide a professional and scientific ball trajectory study where appropriate. How much will my netting cost? Because of the unique nature of every job, pricing is specific for each situation. Factors involving cost are geographic location, wind speed, soil conditions, permitting and engineering requirements, and most importantly netting height. Specific Information needed for an estimate include the following: Preferred type of support structure. What are the general soil conditions? How many lineal feet do we need? Are permits and local building department approvals required? How long will the barrier be functional at this site? How long will the barrier last?
