High-level ball stop fencing is essential for sports pitches where stray balls pose a risk to spectators, nearby property, or passing pedestrians. Designed to stand up to bespoke, these ball stop systems create a safe environment for players and bystanders alike. At Pro Fencing, we supply and install robust steel posts and high-tensile netting that effectively catches or deflects balls—minimising breakages, reducing injuries, and improving the overall experience for everyone on-site.

Whether you manage a football club, rugby pitch, cricket ground, or a school sports field, our bespoke ball stop solutions deliver extended height to handle even the most powerful shots and keep the game under control.

Key Features & Benefits

• Extended Height
  Captures high-flying balls that would otherwise clear standard fences, ensuring maximum containment on the pitch.

• Durable Materials
  Heavy-duty galvanised steel posts and weather-resistant netting stand up to repeated ball impact and the UK climate.

• Enhanced Safety
  Protects spectators, nearby buildings, and passers-by from wayward balls, reducing potential liability and costly repairs.

• Reduced Disruption
  Keep the game flowing by preventing frequent interruptions to retrieve balls outside the playing area.

• Versatile Integration
  Can be installed alongside rebound mesh or other fencing systems, customising your sports enclosure to specific site needs.

Ideal Applications

• Football & Rugby Pitches
  Contain high kicks, ensuring safer surroundings and fewer lost balls.

• Cricket Grounds
  Stop powerful strikes from crossing into roads, car parks, or neighbouring properties.

• School Sports Fields
  Provide a controlled environment where pupils can play safely without interrupting nearby activities.

• Community & Leisure Centres
  Keep your sports zones separate from public areas, minimising accidents and complaints.

Our Installation Process

1. Site Survey & Consultation
   We measure your playing area, review existing fencing, and discuss ideal ball stop heights. Often, 6 metres is recommended for sports like football or rugby, but we can adapt to your specific requirements.

2. Design & Proposal
   You receive a comprehensive quote covering steel post specifications, netting materials, finish options (e.g., galvanised or powder-coated), and any additional features such as access gates or rebound mesh sections.

3. Professional Installation
   Our CHAS and Constructionline-accredited team installs posts securely in concrete footings, tensioning the netting precisely to ensure long-lasting performance and minimal sagging.

4. Quality Check
   We inspect every post, cable, and net attachment, ensuring robust stability. We also verify that the net’s height and coverage meet your specific sports requirements.

5. Aftercare & Maintenance
   Ball stop netting generally requires low maintenance, though occasional inspections help spot any wear or damage. Should you need repairs or expansions, Pro Fencing is here to assist.

Five FAQs

1. Q: Is 6 metres always the right height for ball stop fencing?
   A: For many sports (especially football or rugby), 6 metres is a popular choice to capture high-trajectory shots. However, we can install lower or higher systems if your site or activity demands it.

2. Q: Can I add rebound mesh at the lower sections for ball games?
   A: Absolutely. Many clients combine rebound mesh around the lower perimeter with netting above 2–3 metres for comprehensive containment and a professional look.

3. Q: Will the netting obstruct spectators’ views?
   A: Our nets are typically lightweight and see-through, maintaining visibility while still catching stray balls.

4. Q: How durable is the netting?
   A: We use UV-stabilised, weather-resistant netting designed for outdoor sports. With proper installation, it resists tearing and can last several seasons before needing any significant maintenance.

5. Q: Do I need planning permission for a bespoke fence or net?
   A: Structures above 2 metres often require planning approval. We can guide you on local regulations and assist if necessary.
