Aluminium vs Sports Nets – A Detailed Comparison
Safety
Aluminium grills can be removed for cleaning, leaving gaps that allow balls to escape or injure bystanders. Sports nets form a permanent, impact‑resistant barrier that contains balls and equipment.
Our high‑tensile cables are rated over 200 kg pull‑force per meter and resist UV degradation, so they never sag or snap under repeated impacts. Aluminium bars, by contrast, can bend or crack over time.
Appearance
Aluminium frames are bulky and obstruct up to 10 % of your sightline. Sports nets use 1.5 mm cables spaced 50 mm apart—virtually invisible and visually unobtrusive.
Their sleek, near‑transparent profile preserves panoramic views, making them ideal for upscale residences and open‑plan spaces. Aluminium’s thick bars interrupt both light and architectural harmony.
Installation
Aluminium systems require heavy track mounts and can take a full day to fit a standard balcony. Sports nets install with slim brackets and tension cables in just 2–3 hours for a 3 m span.
Our technicians handle measurement, fabrication, and tensioning—leaving no protrusions and minimal downtime. Aluminium grills often need on‑site steel cutting and additional scaffolding.
