When buying a sports net, it is important to be educated with what you are buying and not brainwashed by the sharks and hungry salesman saying and doing anything to get your business. Be aware of the catchy companies out there who will do and say anything to make a buck. We have heard it all, from there net is not dipped, diamond netting is better to knotless netting is the way to go because it has a cleaner look. Google is a magical place where with a few clicks you can get all the answers you need to make an educated decision especially when it comes to your hard earned money.
Nylon Vs Poly
A: Basically, all the strong material will be nylon(clothing, rugs, toothbrush, parachutes & swimming shorts) Poly will be a fancy word for plastic(bottles, food wrap, toys, garden hoses & buckets) Nylon will outlast poly outdoors in the sun by double the lifespan. Indoors the poly will hold up better but ultimately you are still dealing with a strong material in nylon versus a plastic material in poly. When buying a net poly will be cheaper because it is a lighter material and not as strong. So you must make the decision to pay a little less for possibly half the lifespan of a nylon net. It is all about the budget you are working with and we leave it up to your research you do to make that decision.
Knotted or Knotless netting
A: Knotted nylon is netting material that is knotted in all four corners of a square mesh for durability. Knotless netting is joined together by the machine without having knots. Common sense will tell you if you have a string in your hand and try to pull it apart manually it will be much more difficult if that string had a knot in it. Again, this is another debate that you as the customer must decided before moving forward with an order.
