Specialising in everything from cricket stumps, indoor / outdoor cricket nets
to artificial sport surfaces and playground matting.
We are the Premier provider of demountable/portable cricket nets across the world!
We have installed hundreds of systems across the UK, from private homes, schools,
clubs to Test Grounds and as far a-field as the Caribbean. We are the approved supplier to the ICC World Cup 2007 in the Caribbean.
Our Netting Systems take into account the following:
We do not believe nets should be in permanent situ, thereby occupying space that potentially could be utilised for other activities/sport
We understand the issues of vandalism (due to nets being left out) and wear caused by the elements and potential vermin (rabbits/other)
We understand the issues faced around maintaining nets (especially on grass areas) - this involves striming, cutting, rolling and covering of the net area
We believe cricket net areas should and can be used for other activities, certainly on artificial facilities - warm-up area, fielding drills etc, this can not be accommodated in a “cage” system
We understand the issues spinners face when attempting to give “flight” to a cricket ball - cage systems do not allow this, balls end up being stuck in/on the roof net
We understand the “health & safety” issues faced when balls struck by the batsman will ricochet off the many poles/metal sections (holding up the caged system) into the bowlers path causing injury
We understand the issues of wicket keepers not being able to get into the nets due to the restriction on space behind the stumps - we overcome this as our back net can be “set aside/peeled off” due to large Velcro attachments that hold side nets to back nets.
By understanding the positioning/situation of the practise area, we consult, design, supply and install a range of
artificial surfaces for Cricket (& other sports) - both Engineered bases (Worcestershire CCC as they are on a flood plain)
& Dynamic bases (sand & stone). Also we consider those situations where clubs have their nets extending onto the boundary
edge etc — we look to have a longer pile carpet filled with sand & rubber crumb - this then can accommodate studs etc.
