Overview

Big League Dreams in Manteca, CA, is a popular sports complex that replicates the look and feel of iconic baseball stadiums. As part of their commitment to safety and professionalism, the facility needed to install a large-scale netting system along the exterior of one of its ballparks to protect surrounding walkways and parking areas.

Our team was brought in to construct 500 feet of 70-foot-tall safety netting—a project that required precision, experience, and careful logistics to work entirely from the outside of the park structure.

Key Project Features

  • 70’ tall netting system spanning 500 linear feet
  • Installed entirely from outside the ballpark facility
  • UV-treated Type #36 Diamond-Hung Nylon for superior strength and weather resistance
  • 3” mesh size for safety without obstructing visibility
  • Engineered for tension and wind load performance
  • Protects parking lots, walkways, and adjacent buildings

Project Challenges

The biggest challenge on this job was restricted access: the entire netting system had to be installed without working inside the ballpark itself. All equipment and materials had to be operated from the exterior, requiring careful planning of anchor points, pole placement, and lift operations to ensure the system could be installed safely and securely.

Additionally, the height of the structure (70 feet) demanded high-performance materials and engineered tensioning to withstand wind load and long-term wear.

Solution Provided

To meet the unique demands of this project, our team installed a Type #36 UV-treated diamond-hung nylon net, offering exceptional durability and long-term UV resistance. The system spanned 500 linear feet and was mounted at a towering 70 feet using custom black poles and tensioning hardware.

The result is a sleek, high-strength containment system that offers critical protection for vehicles, visitors, and infrastructure—all while maintaining the visual aesthetic of the venue.

Why It Matters

Large-scale sports complexes like Big League Dreams serve thousands of guests every year. High-impact ballparks require robust protective systems—not just inside the field, but across surrounding areas where people walk, drive, and gather.

This project helps minimize risk to both property and people, and ensures that the facility continues to meet the highest safety standards. It also demonstrates how even logistical constraints, like limited access, can be overcome with the right planning and professional execution.
