Our Process

From initial inquiry to project completion, we follow a proven process that delivers exceptional results every time.

PHASE 1

Inquiry

Your journey begins with a simple conversation. Whether you reach out via phone, email, or our online quote form, our team responds promptly to understand your needs. We gather preliminary information about your project including location, scope, and timeline requirements.

  • Initial consultation call
  • Project scope discussion
  • Preliminary timeline review
  • Budget considerations
PHASE 2

Plan & Strategize

Our engineering team develops a comprehensive plan tailored to your specific requirements. This includes site analysis, structural calculations, material specifications, and detailed drawings. We work with you to refine the design until it meets all your needs.

  • Site assessment & survey
  • Engineering analysis
  • Material specifications
  • Detailed project drawings
  • Formal proposal & pricing
PHASE 3

Execute

With plans approved, our experienced crews mobilize to your site. We coordinate all logistics including equipment delivery, material staging, and installation scheduling. Our project managers ensure smooth execution with minimal disruption to your operations.

  • Material procurement
  • Equipment mobilization
  • Foundation & pole installation
  • Netting installation
  • Quality inspections
PHASE 4

Sign-Off & Warranty

Upon completion, we conduct a thorough walkthrough with you to ensure every detail meets our high standards and your expectations. We provide complete documentation, maintenance guidelines, and warranty information for your records.

  • Final inspection walkthrough
  • Documentation package
  • Maintenance guidelines
  • Warranty registration
  • Ongoing support

Step 1 — Site Assessment and Measurement

A qualified estimator measures the perimeter, checks soil conditions, surveys wind exposure, identifies obstacles (power lines, trees, adjacent structures), and assesses site access for equipment. This can be done in person or using remote tools. A formal on-site verification occurs before project commencement.

Step 2 — Engineering and Permitting

For taller systems (typically 30'+), stamped engineering drawings are required. Engineering typically takes 3–4 weeks and supports permit applications. Permitting is usually handled by the property owner or general contractor; we provide documentation needed to support the process.

Step 3 — Material Selection

Material selection is confirmed based on sport, height, climate, budget, and engineering requirements. Pole type (wood vs. steel), netting grade, and cable specifications are finalized.

Step 4 — Pole Setting

Holes are drilled/augered to engineered depth. Poles are set and backfilled (steel systems commonly use 2,500 PSI concrete). Larger staged steel projects require more time; cure timelines depend on scope and conditions.

Step 5 — Cable Installation

Horizontal cable assemblies are installed and tensioned between poles. Cables are the structural backbone of the system. Upper support cables are installed for larger systems; netting fields should be supported approximately every 1,300 square feet.

Step 6 — Netting Installation

Net panels are unrolled and attached to cables with snap hooks at regular intervals. Sides are laced to poles. Wind lines may be added at height increments, and long runs are typically terminated and restarted in sections to control tension and serviceability.

Step 7 — Tensioning and Inspection

Netting is tensioned and checked for sag, gaps, and weak points. Structural hardware is inspected and the system is reviewed for quality before handoff.

Step 8 — Project Handoff

Site is cleaned, documentation is provided, and a client walkthrough is conducted. The 5-year full coverage warranty begins at handoff.

Typical project timeline

Timelines vary by project size. Permitting and engineering are usually the longest phases for larger systems.
