What Midwest Netting Solutions does

Midwest Netting Solutions, LLC is a privately held engineering and installation company headquartered in Glenview, Illinois that designs, fabricates, and installs custom netting, curtain, and padding systems for sports and industrial clients nationwide. Its core products span two categories: sports netting (baseball backstops and batting cages, golf barrier netting, lacrosse, soccer, and football containment, plus canopy systems, gym wall padding, and windscreens) and commercial/industrial netting (UAV/drone containment enclosures for military and research applications, warehouse pallet rack netting, conveyor belt safety netting, landfill debris netting, and bird deterrence systems). The company's underlying technology includes PE-stamped structural engineering with wind load analysis, custom steel pole fabrication across multiple grades (A252, A253, A53B, API5L variants, CRT A500), and large-span containment structures up to 300+ feet long and 70+ feet high.

The company operates a project-based sales model with direct consultation, custom engineering, in-house fabrication, and nationwide turnkey installation crews delivered under its own crews. Pricing is quote-based and tied to project specifications, with net 30 standard credit terms, multi-year project contracts, and PayPal available for online checkout. Customers include high schools, colleges, sports teams and venues, country clubs and golf courses, municipalities, government agencies, and military/defense contractors. The business operates under an "All Netting Systems" umbrella with seven vertical-specific sister brand sites (Safety Netting Solutions, Custom Drone Netting, Conveyor Netting, Baseball Sports Netting, Bird Netting Installation, Pallet Wrapz), suggesting a multi-channel digital acquisition strategy targeting distinct verticals and geographies.

Founded circa 2003, the company is independently owned with 11-50 employees and reports installing 100+ engineered structures annually across more than a dozen U.S. states. Distribution is direct via phone and website, with no disclosed third-party resellers, franchises, or licensing arrangements.
