Sports Nets installation across South and West India

It depends on the standard of play and how close the boundary is to whatever you are protecting. A practice lane needs less height than an open box-cricket ground with a road behind it. We size height from the expected ball speed and the distance to the nearest thing that can be damaged, rather than from a standard figure.

We deliberately do not, because a single rate would be misleading. The same area costs very different amounts depending on the grade of hardware, the spacing you need, the height you are working at and the condition of the substrate. Our pricing guide sets out every factor that moves the number so you can see how a quotation is built up.

We cover the localities listed on our service area pages, and those lists reflect where we genuinely operate rather than everywhere we would like to. If your locality is not listed, call us anyway: we often work just beyond a listed boundary, and we will tell you plainly if a job is outside our reach rather than sending someone unprepared.

Warranty depends on the product, and the figure for each one is stated on its service page rather than promised generically here. In every case the warranty covers materials and workmanship on what we installed, and it assumes the yearly inspection is carried out. We will always tell you what is and is not covered before you commit.

A properly stabilised net in a moderate climate should give several years of service, and considerably longer where it is shaded. The way to judge it is by feel rather than by date: twine that has become stiff or chalky and snaps instead of stretching has reached the end of its life and should be replaced.

Once a year is right for most installations, and it is largely something you can do yourself: press the cables or net at mid-span to feel for slack, look at the anchor points for rust weeping or hairline cracking, and wash the surfaces down. In coastal and cyclone-exposed locations we recommend an additional check after the wet season.

A cloth hanger is usually done in an hour or two. A single balcony safety net takes two to six hours, and an invisible grill on one or two bays takes most of a working day. Larger jobs such as sports enclosures or building covering run to several days because foundations and scaffold have to be dealt with first.

In most gated communities and housing societies, yes, because anything fixed to an external wall or balcony counts as a facade alteration. We can supply the drawings and material specification you need to submit. It is worth starting that process early, since approval usually takes longer than the installation itself.

Sometimes. Moving from 316 to 304 stainless is a genuine saving and perfectly sound at an inland address, and a coarser mesh is fine if you only need to keep birds out. What we will not do is reduce cable spacing tolerance or anchor quality, because those are the two things that decide whether the installation actually holds.

If the ground is hemmed in by buildings or a road, usually yes, because a lofted ball leaves over the top rather than through the side. Adding a roof changes the structural problem rather than just the area, since the posts and cables then carry a much larger wind load, so it is designed rather than simply extended.

It needs attention but rarely means replacement. Slack in a cable widens the gap under load, which is the thing a barrier exists to prevent, and slack in a net lets it whip and abrade against fixings. Both are usually corrected by re-tensioning at the existing hardware, which is a short visit rather than a new installation.

For anything structural we do, yes. We can give an indicative range over the phone from your balcony dimensions, but the final price depends on the condition of the wall or slab we are fixing into, the access route for materials, and the exact spacing you need. A survey takes about twenty minutes and means the quotation we give you is the price you pay.
