Golf Cage Netting

Golf Cage Netting: Complete Enclosure for Ball Containment

A golf cage provides complete ball containment from every direction — top, sides, and back. Whether you're building a backyard hitting cage, outfitting an indoor facility bay, or creating a practice enclosure at a golf course, our #21 Square Mesh 3/4" knotted nylon panels give you the material to build a cage that stops every shot.

When You Need a Full Golf Cage

A single flat net panel works fine when you're hitting into a wall or have a natural backstop. But if you're practicing in an open area — a backyard, an open field, or a facility bay with no walls — you need a cage to contain shots from all angles. Topped drives go high, shanks go sideways, and skulled chips can fly in any direction. A golf cage catches them all.

Golf cages are also essential for multi-bay facilities where you need to prevent balls from crossing between hitting stations. Side panels between bays keep each golfer's shots contained in their own lane, just like at a driving range.

Panel Sizes for Cage Construction

Building a golf cage requires multiple net panels — typically 5 panels for a fully enclosed cage (back, two sides, top, and optionally a rear curtain). Our panels are custom cut to any size, but here are popular individual panel dimensions:

• 10' x 10' — Standard side and back panels for residential cages. Build a 10' wide x 10' tall x 10' deep cage with four identical panels.
• 10' x 15' — Extended depth for side walls and ceiling. Creates a cage with more room between the hitting position and the back net.
• 10' x 20' — Full-length side panels for larger cages. Popular for outdoor backyard cages where space isn't constrained.
• 15' x 15' — Larger format for facility-grade cages. Higher ceiling clearance allows full driver swings without feeling cramped.

Order each panel to the exact dimensions your frame requires at $3.85 per square foot. We recommend measuring your frame first, then ordering panels with 6-12 inches of extra material on each side for attachment overlap.

Building Your Golf Cage Frame

The frame is the backbone of your golf cage. Common frame materials include:

• Galvanized steel pipe — The most durable option. 1.5" to 2" diameter steel pipe connected with fittings creates a rigid cage frame that lasts decades. Ideal for permanent outdoor installations.
• EMT conduit — Budget-friendly and available at hardware stores. 1" EMT with Kee Klamp-style fittings makes a solid cage frame for home use.
• Pressure-treated lumber — 4x4 posts sunk in concrete footings with 2x4 cross-members. Easy to build with basic carpentry tools and stands up well outdoors.

Attach the netting to the frame using zip ties, hog rings, or carabiner clips threaded through the mesh. Start with the back panel, then add side panels and the ceiling panel last. Leave some slack in each panel — tight netting bounces balls back harder and puts more stress on the frame.

Commercial-Grade Material

Our golf cage netting uses the same #21 knotted nylon found in professional driving range cages and sports facility enclosures. The 250 lb breaking strength per knot handles repeated full-swing impacts from every club in the bag. UV-stabilized construction means outdoor cages last 7-10 years without material degradation.

The knotted construction is critical for cage applications. Each knot is independently tied, so damage to one area doesn't propagate through the panel. If a section gets worn from concentrated hitting, you can patch or replace just that panel without rebuilding the entire cage.
