Rigid Metal Wires are Made into Heavy Duty Cricket Net Fencing

Several players are playing cricket inside a chain link fabric fencing.
CNFE-01: Chain link fabric fencing functions as cricket practice net enclosure.

Chain link fabric is a classic net for cricket practice net fencing enclosures, for a range of alternative types and design options – design options of cricket practice net fencing enclosures. Our company provides you cricket practice net fencing that is intended to be used by councils, schools, cricket clubs and associations where heavy duty construction design is needed for longer service life, to assist with a high volume use and cope better with potential impact damage. Also, considering both the climatic conditions and local environmental, or microclimatic, conditions of the site in which the fence is to be established is especially vital.

Here we represents the several faces of cricket practice net fencing enclosures: A well-performed cricket practice net fencing consists of sides areas, rear areas, roof, gate and internal face of dividing fences. The height of chain link fabric fence is 3 or 3.6 m. The width of enclosure shall be 3.6 m at least. The length of a single practice enclosure is 12 m. For multi-dividing enclosure, the internal faces of dividing fences shall be a minimum of 18 m in length to protect the players from injuries in adjoining pitches. The length of each panel in length direction of enclosure shall not exceed 3 m. The roof length shall be 6 m at least. The installation method of cricket net fencing enclosure and accessories of cricket net fencing enclosure are provided separately.

Benefits:

  • Zinc/aluminium-alloy coatings are capable of providing from two to four times the durability of galvanized (zinc) coatings of the same coating mass.
  • Compared with heavy duty 3.15 mm wire, 2.50 mm wire only can provide approximately 60% of the impact beating capacity, and the 3.15 mm wire represents the most rigid and durable fabric for higher impact strength applications.
  • The plastic coating provided is UV-stable.
  • Chain link fabric as cricket practice net is available in a range of coatings options, and fuse-bonded polymer coatings provides for improved service life in higher impact situations.
  • Top and bottom pipe rails installed to cricket net fencing enclosures is a requirement to improve the service life of the chain link fabric from being deformed from impact damage.
