Protection Tunnel safety for batters and bowlers

total-play, the company behind the ECB approved tp365 synthetic cricket surface for match and practice play and the Climate Cover range of ground sheets and germination covers, has unveiled its new Protection Tunnel practice net system.

The system comprises a seamless piece of netting secured by tension wires and fixed metal hooks and is designed to prevent balls from escaping practice lanes via gaps in fatigued or poorly secured netting.

In addition to enhanced player safety, Protection Tunnel also offers benefits from a maintenance perspective.

Tension wires spread the strain of high winds across the entire net, as opposed to specific pressure points and ties, thus minimising the risk of the nets failing at isolated points.

The tension wire suspension also means that the net can be quickly and easily removed just by loosening the wires and detaching it from the hooks, making for easy storage during the winter.

Protection Tunnel is available with an optional maintenance package where total-play will make the net ready for the beginning of the season and remove it again for storage at the end of summer, checking the net for any repairs needed.
