Install your batting cage just 4-6 inches from the wall (instead of the typical 3 feet)

Tired of wasting 3 feet of space on every side of your batting cage?

Standard netting requires a 2-3 foot buffer from walls, 3-5 feet from lights, and 5-10 feet from walkways. In a tight garage, basement, or facility, that dead space adds up fast.

NetShield changes the math.

This heavy-duty vinyl impact mesh lets you install as close as 4-6 inches from walls, tested with a pitching machine at 90 MPH with only 6 inches of stretch (Watch Video Here). Reclaim your space. Protect your walls. Stop worrying about line drives destroying your drywall.

Reviews

“I purchased the NetShield for a home batting cage. I was a little sceptical when I first received the product. That material felt extremely lightweight, and I thought there was no way the material would hold up to a baseball. I installed the NetShield on the inside of my the batting cage netting, about one foot from drywall and it works as described by Practice Sports. My 10-year-old son hits balls directly into the netting with an exit velocity of 60 mph and the net barely moves. I highly recommend if you have a batting cage close to walls and windows.”

How to Order

  1. Measure Your Space — Measure the length and height of the area you want to cover. Pro tip: order slightly larger than your exact measurements to allow for attachment overlap.
  2. Enter Dimensions — Use the calculator above. Your price updates automatically.
  3. Pick Your Color — Black is most popular (best batter’s eye). Choose a color that matches your facility aesthetic.
  4. Add to Cart — We’ll custom cut your NetShield and ship it within 5-7 business days.

Need wind vents for outdoor use? Add Half-Moon vents every 10-20 ft (+$2.50 each). Contact us to add.

Specs

  • Material: Vinyl Coated Mesh — durable, easy to clean, won’t absorb moisture
  • Weight: 13.5 oz per sq yd — heavy enough to absorb impact, light enough to hang easily
  • Edge Finish: Double-Hemmed Vinyl Border — reinforced edges that won’t fray
  • Mounting: Grommets Every 12-18″ on Top Edge — easy installation with zip ties or cable
  • Colors: Black, Forest Green, Green, Blue, Navy Blue, Red
  • UV Protection: Built-in UV inhibitors — safe for outdoor use
  • Lifespan: 10-15 years for impact areas, longer for non-impact zones
  • Warranty: 3 Years

NetShield extends the life-span of netting by 10 years or more. Instead of replacing worn netting, simply zip-tie panels of NetShield on the inside or outside of your netting, to cover high-risk zones, or weak & unsightly areas.

Best Uses

  • Wall Protection — Install within inches of drywall, concrete, or windows without worrying about damage
  • Impact Zones — Reinforce the area directly behind the batter where line drives hit hardest
  • Batter’s Eye — Create a solid backdrop behind the pitcher for better pitch visibility
  • HVAC & Light Protection — Shield vulnerable ceiling fixtures from stray balls
  • Lane Dividers — Hang between ShellCage lanes to contain balls within each tunnel
  • Outdoor Fences — Add UV-protected barrier to existing fence lines (includes UV inhibitors)
  • Netting Rehab — Cover worn or damaged netting instead of replacing it entirely

NetShield gives facilities an instant image make-over by hiding ugly walls or damaged netting – while also improving the safety and expanding the usable space.

The cost of NetShield is comparable to #60 Gauge Netting, and the life-span is even longer. An estimated life-span is 10-15 years for impact purposes, and much longer for non-impact areas.

    The netshield works great as a back stop and is see through which is a huge bonus for spectators and training staff to be able to have visibility of the batter in the box.

    It knocks down up to 100mph fastballs from our pitching machines with ease while saving wear and tear on our nets.

    Highly recommend getting some for your cages instead of buying a heavy opaque backstop. They are actually more affordable than most Amazon and Sporting good store’s backstop products too!
