Dyneema Net Specs

Use the chart below to identify the type of netting that best suits your needs. Keep in mind, our nets are listed by their sku, so for example, the sku of #60 baseball is NT60 which reflects both the gauge of netting as well as the type of net used. 

The benefits of Dyneema make it the perfect baseball backstop or barrier net for professional sports stadiums, college backstops, or high-profile sports complexes.

Dyneema Baseball netting is the first of its kind in the sports netting market. What makes Dyneema so special is the strength to weight ratio of the twine. This is perfect for sports netting because of the reduced thickness of the net maximizes spectator visibility without sacrificing durability.  The charts below illustrate how our double knotted Dyneema twine compares to standard nylon twine when comparing twine size to break strength.

Custom Netting is the fabricator of Dyneema Netting. This enables us to have industry-leading turnaround times. In addition to fabricating the netting, let our expert installation crews can turnkey your project for you. Call our experts now or fill out our Baseball Backstop Form for an instant quote

 “Dyneema is the lightest, thinnest net on the market, but it is just as strong as the same type of nylon that we recommend for commercial batting facilities.”

Not only does a thinner twine allow for greater visibility for the spectator, but it also aids in the lifespan of the netting. A thinner twine creates a lesser wind load on the overall net. Given a lesser wind load, there is less movement, and therefore less abrasion, and all connection points.  This is very important as the most common initial failure point on netting is the connection point. Dyneema’s minimal twine diameter, coupled with its break strength, makes it the most durable solution for backstop or barrier netting on the market.

Another benefit of Dyneema over Nylon netting is its resistance to exposure, UV rays, and elongation. While all our nylon nets are resin bonded to resist weather and UV rays, the chemical makeup of Dyneema makes it less susceptible than nylon to damaging UV rays, salt, and water. In addition to better weather and UV resistance, Dyneema also has minimal elongation (stretch) compared to nylon’s 3%-5% stretch. At Custom Netting, our Dyneema nets come standard with a sewn Dyneema rope border. This is important as a standard rope border will stretch and negate Dyneema’s minimal elongation characteristics.
