Sand Knotless Barrier Net 5x5 vs Knotless Nylon Netting 3/16"
Buy the Treehouse Supplies sand net if you want a finished barrier panel with grommets and a sewn border ready to hang. Buy the Duranets nylon roll if you need nylon netting cut to length for a custom span or a longer run. The sand net is stronger on paper: 630 lbf mesh break and a 12,075 ft-lb drop test versus 500 lbf for the nylon. The nylon roll wins on length and material flexibility, since it comes off a 60-inch roll by the foot and can run up to 102 feet. Neither is a sports net, and owners of both types report the same trade-off: polypropylene holds up to sun and moisture, nylon is softer and more abrasion-tolerant but degrades faster outdoors.
- Choose the Treehouse sand net if you want a 5x5 barrier panel that arrives with grommets every 12 inches and a reinforced border, ready to hang as-is.
- Choose the Duranets nylon netting if you need a longer or custom-sized run and are willing to cut, edge and grommet it yourself.
