BASELINE FENCING
MAXIMIZE SAFETY. MAXIMIZE PLAY.
Going out to the ball game is a treasured American tradition, but it can also be dangerous. Injuries to spectators watching Major League Baseball games have risen in recent years, with an average 1,750 fans being hit by an errant pitch or foul ball per year.
Foul ball, backstop and baseline netting and fencing can protect spectators and players at games. At Grand Slam Safety, we work with youth, middle and high school, semi-pro and professional baseball organizations to meet their netting and fencing needs. When you choose Grand Slam Safety, you look out for your players and your fans.
Our baseline netting helps keep both players and spectators safe and can be easily paired with other fencing to create a complete system, protecting all areas of the field.

Benefits and Applications of Baseball Netting

Easy assembly: You can put together or uninstall our outfield fence in just 90 minutes.
-
Full system: Our fencing system includes outfield fencing, supports, mesh for foul territory, foul poles, and backstops.

Versatility: Use our SPECTO® fencing for baseball (7 feet high) or softball (8 feet high). This fence can easily integrate into our outfield and backstop fencing.

Customize: We can hang protective netting above the baseline fencing to provide even more protection for spectators or nearby fields.
