Why Are Softball and Baseball Backstop Net Systems Important?
Major League Baseball recently expanded netting at all ballparks to prevent broken bats and low-fly balls from striking those sitting in field-level seats. Other levels of baseball would be wise to take a lesson from the pros. Youth, middle school, high school, college, professional and semi-professional teams rely on our baseball and softball fencing and backstop netting to keep everyone safe around home plate.
And while they may be on the front lines of the action, the installation of secure barrier netting systems benefits more than just players and spectators. Softball and baseball netting backstops also protect cars, concession areas, scoreboards and adjacent sports facilities.
Baseball safety netting was first used in 1879, but until recently, sports net systems still used rigid, cumbersome materials that obstructed spectator view and offered no padding for players who connected with it. Grand Slam Safety was formed to address these issues and provide facilities with an attractive, durable option that ticked all the boxes for players and spectators while providing a professional appearance.

Benefits of Installing Backstop Netting From Grand Slam Safety
Even on youth fields, protection for players and spectators is important. As children grow, they improve their coordination and become stronger. A foul ball hit by a young player can cause damage, especially if a fan or fellow player is not able to react quickly to an errant ball or bat. Grand Slam Safety provides durable safety netting solutions in multiple settings that you can feel proud of and that your players and spectators will love.
