While the wealthy MLB teams may opt for high-end netting as the fabric for their backstops, minor league and high schools typically prefer chain-link fencing wire backstops.
Chain-link steel fencing wire produces a hardy, weather-resistant backstop fabric that will last a long time, with minimal maintenance. But that also makes them quite heavy when compared to netting.
So it is crucial to make sure your backstop’s upright poles can support the weight of the chain-link fence, whether the backstop is a half-moon or straight design. The last thing you want is to have the backstop failing and collapsing on top of the players.
