CEILING PROTECTION NETTING


Overhead Protection Systems for Sports Halls & Indoor Training Spaces



Sports Facility Services designs and installs ceiling protection netting systems to safeguard roof structures, lighting and overhead services within indoor sports environments. These systems are commonly specified in sports halls, gymnasiums and indoor cricket facilities where repeated ball impact presents a risk to building fabric and equipment.

As part of our wider sports netting solutions, ceiling protection netting is engineered to provide reliable overhead protection while preserving usable space, visibility and day‑to‑day functionality.  

CEILING PROTECTION NETTING INSTALLATIONS

We supply and install bespoke ceiling protection netting tailored to each facility’s roof structure, usage and sporting requirements. Systems are carefully designed to protect vulnerable overhead areas without interfering with play or access.
  • Bespoke ceiling protection netting installations
  • Suitable for sports halls, gyms and cricket facilities
  • Protects roofs, lighting fittings and overhead services
  • Designed with minimal visual impact
Each installation is configured around the existing structure to deliver effective protection without compromising the use of the space.

FULLY TENSIONED OVERHEAD NET SYSTEMS

Our ceiling protection netting is typically installed using fully tensioned overhead cable systems, ensuring the net remains secure, stable and effective under repeated ball impact. These systems are designed to protect lighting, roof structures and services while maintaining clear sightlines and full use of the playing area.


In multi‑use sports halls, ceiling protection netting is often designed to operate in conjunction with sports hall divider systems. Track positions, fixing points and net overlaps are carefully considered so divider nets can be deployed and retracted as required, while overhead protection remains fully effective at all times.


  • Fully tensioned overhead netting systems
  • Designed for high‑use indoor sports environments
  • Engineered to integrate with sports hall divider tracks
  • Durable netting materials suited to repeated ball impact
  • Sectioned designs available for maintenance access


Integrated overhead net systems provide reliable protection while preserving flexibility within multi‑use sports halls.

REPLACEMENT CEILING PROTECTION NETS 

 Where existing ceiling protection netting has deteriorated or reached the end of its service life, we provide made‑to‑measure replacement netting fitted to existing cable or support systems where appropriate.
  • Replacement netting for existing ceiling systems
  • Manufactured to suit existing layouts and fixings
  • Cost‑effective alternative to full system replacement
  • Minimal disruption to facility operation
Replacement netting maintains effective overhead protection while extending the service life of existing systems.
