A good cricket practice area should let players focus on the next ball—not on retrieving the previous one.
The ProNet 1.5 MM Cricket Practice Net creates a more controlled space for tennis-ball cricket at homes, schools, societies, farmhouses and recreational grounds. Its 50 MM mesh helps keep tennis cricket balls within the playing area, reducing interruptions and protecting the surrounding space from misplaced shots.
Made from UV-stabilized virgin HDPE with a 24-ply twisted construction, this green cricket net is lightweight, practical and economical. It is easy to handle, available in several standard sizes and can also be manufactured according to your required dimensions.
For added confidence, the product is covered by ProNet’s 3-year warranty, subject to the applicable warranty policy.
Made Specifically for Tennis-Ball Cricket
Not every cricket setup requires a thick, heavy-duty net. For tennis-ball practice, choosing the right net is more sensible than simply choosing the thickest one.
This 1.5 MM ProNet has been developed specifically for the lighter impact of tennis cricket balls. It provides effective ball containment while remaining lighter and easier to install than nets intended for high-impact leather-ball training.
It is a suitable choice for children learning cricket, family practice sessions, school coaching, society play areas and recreational players who want a dependable practice enclosure at a reasonable cost.
This product is not recommended for leather-ball cricket.
Understanding the 1.5 MM, 24-Ply Construction
The net is made by twisting 24 individual strands together to create approximately 1.5 MM twine. This twisted construction gives the net the flexibility needed to receive tennis-ball impacts without behaving like a rigid wall.
A slightly flexible net absorbs and slows the ball more effectively than one stretched excessively tight. This is why correct installation is just as important as selecting the correct material and thickness.
The 1.5 MM construction also keeps the complete net manageable, particularly when covering larger areas. It can be easier to lift, position, install and remove when compared with unnecessarily heavy netting.
Why Virgin HDPE Material Matters
HDPE, or high-density polyethylene, is widely used for outdoor netting because it combines useful strength with low weight and resistance to moisture.
This ProNet product is manufactured from virgin HDPE rather than mixed recycled plastic. Virgin material provides better consistency across the mesh and helps the net retain its intended structure during normal use.
The material is also UV-stabilized, making the net suitable for indoor and permanent outdoor installations. It can be used in areas exposed to sunlight and normal seasonal weather when installed and maintained correctly.
How the 50 MM Mesh Works
Mesh size refers to the approximate opening between the strands of the net. A 50 MM mesh is suitable for containing standard tennis cricket balls while keeping the overall structure open and lightweight.
When a shot reaches the net, the mesh catches and slows the ball before it travels outside the practice area. This allows batting and bowling sessions to continue with fewer interruptions.
The mesh is useful around batting lanes, behind wickets, along property boundaries and around complete cricket-practice cages.
Value That Comes From Choosing the Right Product
Value for money does not simply mean selecting the cheapest available net. It means paying for the construction and performance your application genuinely requires.
The ProNet 1.5 MM Cricket Net provides the important features needed for tennis-ball practice: virgin HDPE material, UV stabilization, 50 MM mesh, a finished border rope, multiple size options and warranty support.
For homes, schools and recreational facilities, it offers a practical solution without adding the cost and weight of specifications intended for intensive leather-ball cricket.

More Practice and Less Ball Retrieval
Without a surrounding net, even a short batting session can become frustrating. Balls frequently leave the playing area, interrupt training or reach places where they may cause inconvenience.
A properly planned cricket net keeps more balls close to the practice lane. Bowlers can maintain their rhythm, batters can complete longer sessions and coaches can organise drills more efficiently.
It also helps create a visible boundary around the training area, making the setup feel more organised and purposeful.
Standard Sizes Available
The net is available in the following standard panel sizes:
- 10 × 30 feet
- 12 × 30 feet
- 15 × 30 feet

- 12 × 70 feet

- 10 × 100 feet
- 12 × 100 feet
- 15 × 100 feet
Custom-size netting is also available for areas that do not match these standard dimensions.
How to Choose the Correct Size
Begin by identifying every direction in which the ball may travel. Measuring only the wall behind the batter may leave the sides or overhead area unprotected.
For a complete practice cage, measure the required:
- Length of both side panels
- Width of the rear panel
- Height of the enclosure
- Overhead area, if top coverage is needed
Measure the actual structure or installation area rather than estimating from the playing surface alone. Also allow enough material for secure attachment without relying on excessive stretching.
If the installation has an unusual shape, obstacles or different panel heights, a custom-size net will usually provide a cleaner and more effective result.
Border Rope for a Secure Finish
The net is supplied with a border rope around its edges. This reinforces the perimeter and provides a more suitable surface for attaching the net to poles, hooks, cables or frames.
Installation ties should be distributed evenly along the border. Relying on only a few attachment points concentrates pressure in small areas and can affect the fit of the complete panel.
Whenever possible, attach the net through its reinforced border instead of repeatedly tying directly onto individual mesh openings.
How Should the Net Be Installed?
The installation method will depend on the size and location of the practice area. Nets may be supported by GI poles, metal frames, overhead cables, hooks or suitable ropes.
The net should be secured firmly but should not be pulled drum-tight. Leaving a small amount of natural movement helps it absorb the ball’s energy. An excessively tight installation transfers more force to the mesh, border and supporting structure.
The bottom can be secured where necessary to prevent balls from passing underneath. However, avoid leaving the net in continuous contact with rough flooring or sharp edges.
Large cages and elevated installations should be completed by experienced professionals.
Outdoor Installation Guidance
Because the net is manufactured from UV-stabilized HDPE, it can be used for permanent outdoor installations. Correct installation will help the product perform better over time.
Keep the net away from:
- Sharp metal edges
- Protruding screws or hooks
- Rough surfaces that cause continuous rubbing
- Open flames and welding sparks
- Harsh chemicals
- Heavy branches or debris
- Unnecessary contact with moving machinery
The supporting frame must also be suitable for outdoor conditions. A strong net cannot compensate for weak, unstable or poorly anchored poles.
Simple Care for Longer Service
The net does not require complicated maintenance, but occasional inspection is useful.
Check the corners, borders and attachment points for unusual tension or rubbing. Retighten loose ropes and reposition any section resting against an abrasive surface. Leaves and other debris should be removed, particularly from overhead installations.
If cleaning is required, use water and allow the net to dry naturally. Avoid pulling the mesh with sharp tools while removing trapped objects.
Early attention to installation-related problems can prevent unnecessary damage.
Safer Practice Starts With Proper Planning
A cricket net can improve ball containment, but the complete practice area must still be planned responsibly.
Provide enough distance between players and the net, select secure supports and check that entrances are positioned away from the direct line of play. Children should practise with appropriate supervision.
Nearby windows, roads, vehicles and pedestrian areas should be considered when deciding the height and coverage of the enclosure. Where shots may rise above the side panels, overhead protection may also be necessary.
The net supports a safer practice setup, but it should not be treated as a guarantee against every possible accident or as a substitute for responsible play.
