What? Baseball nets made from Plastic & made in the UK!!!


 Yep, you heard this right. Baseball nets made from plastic material sold on Amazon and Google are a big hit lately. Truth-meter is the fact that Nylon will out last poly ( aka Plastic ) 3x longer guaranteed.   Sun + Plastic = Brittle.  Which item of clothing would you wear? The first photo or the second? Which shirt would last longer overall.

Lets calculate this for a moment. See below:

#36 nylon baseball net 20'x20' finished with regular rope borders $144

#18 Poly ( Plastic ) baseball net 20'x20' finished with regular rope borders $76.80

The Nylon Baseball Backstop net will last 8 years outdoor. The Poly net will last 2-3 years outdoors.

Cost of 1 nylon baseball net = $144. The cost of three cheaper poly nets $76.80 x 3 orders to match the lifespan of a nylon net = $229.50.

Shipping any net within the US next day air with a weight of 10 lbs or more will cost you at least $50. Now imagine shipping something next day from the UK. How is it possible that shipping is only $18? Common sense will tell you the product is inferior based on the weight.

For example, a 20'x20' nylon baseball net will weigh approx. 16 lbs. On the other hand, a poly baseball net 20'x20' will weigh approx. 4 lbs.

The big question then becomes, would you rather wear a bullet proof vest that weighs 4 lbs or one that weighs 16 lbs. Basically, the heavier the material, the more serious the quality is.

We here at Nets of America Inc. challenge anyone with other experiences and we welcome any discussion when it comes to nylon versus poly.
