Driving range netting is a safety and site-planning system. Height, mesh specification, pole engineering, foundations and installation conditions determine both performance and project cost.
What determines netting height?
The correct height depends on the site. Tee orientation, distance to boundaries, terrain, golfer population and surrounding roads or buildings all matter. A commercial supplier or engineer should review the actual risk area before the final structure is specified.
Main cost components
Netting and cable system
Mesh type, impact requirements, UV exposure and total coverage affect material cost. Replacement strategy matters too, especially on high-use sites.
Poles and foundations
Taller systems create larger structural loads. Pole specification, soil conditions and foundation design can become a major part of the project budget.
Installation and access
Crane or lift access, site preparation, underground utilities and working around an operating facility can materially change installation cost.
Questions to ask before requesting quotes
- What area must the system protect?
- What is the proposed height and why?
- Has wind loading been considered?
- Who is responsible for engineering and foundations?
- Can individual net panels be replaced?
- What access is required for installation?
- What inspection and maintenance schedule is recommended?
Budgeting correctly
A useful budget should separate net material, poles, engineering, foundations, freight, installation and any site work. Comparing only the price of netting can make two proposals look similar when the actual installed scopes are very different.
Plan the range as one system
Netting often interacts with lighting, targets, ball collection and the overall site layout. Coordinating these systems early can reduce conflicts between poles, service routes and operational areas.
