Title: Outdoor Net
Post by: mad_abt_cricket on April 03, 2012, 11:32:26 AM

My club is planning to invest on an outdoor net this summer. The plan is to make a permanent structure on the side of the ground. Due to financial constraints we are looking for local resources as an alternative instead of buying a specialized cricket net from UK.

Would appreciate, if experts here can help with the following:

1. What would be the appropriate dimension for one net?
2. What could be an cheap alternative of the cricket net ( mesh ).

Thank you!

Have a look at the 3D site, which will give you ideas about net sizes

The net area probably needs to be 40 yards long to allow space behind the batsman, to allow the bowlers a decent run up, and to allow the people wating to bowl space to stand safely.
