Many schools and universities are faced with crossover practices, where two or more teams must share a facility for practice. This creates two problems: 1) track athletes and joggers being hit by stray balls from the in-field; and 2) teams wasting practice time either searching for, or avoiding tripping on, loose balls. AAE's solution is our protective safety netting called the HBS BallStopper System - available in self-standing and ground sleeve models to accommodate both synthetic and natural turf fields.

Model HBS-1 is comprised of 2-3/8" diameter, heavy-wall aluminum uprights installed into ground sleeves. Synthetic treated netting (1-3/4" sq. x 10' high) has a permanently attached coated galvanized steel cable on top and a MFP rope border on the bottom. Brass snaps permit netting to be lowered easily after use or as required. Bottom of netting can also be raised to allow lawnmowers access to the area for cutting.

A mill finish is standard for uprights and bases; however, a custom powder-coated finish is also available for an additional cost.
