Here at  Sport Systems, we pride ourselves on our expertise in installing high-quality netting barriers for municipalities, ball fields, soccer fields, golf courses and various other facilities across Canada. While we’re known for our top-notch new installations, we’re equally skilled at upgrading, repairing, and replacing existing netting systems to ensure safety and longevity.

Outdoor netting barriers are critical for protecting passersby, nearby vehicles, and surrounding areas from stray balls. However, these barriers face constant exposure to harsh elements like wind, UV rays, and flying debris, which can inevitably degrade them over time. Eventually, every netting system reaches the end of its lifespan, leaving facility managers with a choice: patch it up year after year or invest in a professional replacement for a lasting solution.

This year, our team had the privilege of working with Ottawa’s renowned RA Centre, a hub for community sports and recreation. The RA Centre’s well-known ball diamonds had relied on netting barriers that required frequent patching to maintain safety. Recognizing that temporary fixes were no longer sufficient, the RA Centre team made the smart decision to call on our team for a full netting replacement.

Much like many of our custom projects, this job began with a thorough site assessment, walking the RA Centre’s ball diamonds to evaluate the existing infrastructure. We developed a tailored proposal for a complete netting overhaul, focusing on durability and safety. One key advantage? We were able to preserve many of the existing poles, straightening them where necessary to ensure structural integrity. This approach saved time and resources while still delivering a robust solution.

Upon approval, our skilled installation team was on site last spring and executed an impressive overhaul of the RA Centre’s netting barriers. The new system not only enhances safety but also elevates the aesthetic appeal of the ball diamonds. 

When it comes to netting barriers, DIY patches are a short-term fix that can lead to ongoing maintenance headaches. By partnering with our experienced team, you’re choosing expertise, quality, and a commitment to getting the job done right. Whether it’s a brand-new installation or a comprehensive upgrade like the one at the RA Centre, we deliver solutions that prioritize safety, durability, and value.
