Sports field modernisation with TransNet
Sports field modernisation with TransNet
Sports field modernisation without replacing the entire facility
Modernising a sports field does not always mean rebuilding the entire infrastructure from scratch. In many cases, replacing worn safety components, completing missing nets or adapting existing solutions to the facility’s current use is sufficient.
This most often applies to ball-stop nets, nets behind goals, side barriers and nets installed on existing structures. Over time, these components may wear out, lose their correct tension or no longer meet the facility’s needs.
TransNet manufactures custom sports nets, so new components can be prepared to match the dimensions of the existing structure. This makes it easier to modernise a community sports field, school ground or club facility without relying on arbitrary standard sizes.
What can sports field modernisation include?
The scope of modernisation depends primarily on the condition of the existing facility and the components that need to be replaced or completed.
One of the most common measures is replacing nets in existing ball-stop systems. If the supporting structure remains in good condition, a new net can be made to its specific dimensions.
Modernisation may also include installing new barriers behind goals or along the sides of the field. Such a solution may be needed when the existing infrastructure does not sufficiently prevent balls from leaving the playing area.
At multi-purpose facilities, goal nets can also be replaced, protective nets added or the parameters of existing barriers adapted to the way the field is used.
The scope of work should be determined based on the facility’s actual condition, not solely on the age of the entire infrastructure.
Custom-made nets and ball-stop systems
TransNet manufactures custom sports nets and solutions for ball-stop systems. This is particularly important when modernising existing facilities, where the spacing and height of the structure are already fixed.
When preparing a new net, its dimensions, mesh size, cord thickness and colour can be selected. The parameters should suit the sports played at the facility and the location where the barrier will be used.
A high ball-stop net behind a goal may require a different solution from a lower barrier running along the side of the field.
Custom production also makes it possible to prepare nets for existing structures, which can be particularly useful during partial facility modernisation.
Modernisation of community and school sports fields
Community and school sports fields are often used intensively by many groups throughout the day. As a result, components such as ball-stop nets, goal nets and side barriers may need replacing over time.
Modernisation may include replacing a worn net with a new one, installing an additional ball-stop net behind a goal or securing a section of the facility that was previously open.
At school sports fields, it is also important to adapt the solution to several different types of activity. The nets should therefore suit both the facility’s structure and the way it is used every day.
If the replacement concerns components directly related to play, sports equipment intended for the facility can also be considered.
Replacement of ball-stop nets and worn netting
A worn net does not always mean the entire ball-stop system must be replaced. If the structure remains serviceable, a new net can be made to fit its dimensions.
During such a replacement, it is worth checking the condition of the entire barrier and selecting the appropriate mesh size and cord thickness again. The new net does not have to be an exact copy of the previous one if the facility’s use has changed since it was built.
When extending the barrier, the existing system can also be supplemented with additional ball-stop nets in areas where balls frequently leave the field.
In addition to ball-stop systems, modernisation may also include protective nets used to secure other parts of the facility.
What are the benefits of modernising sports field barriers?
Well-planned modernisation makes it possible to replace the components that genuinely require it and adapt the field more effectively to its current use.

How should you prepare for sports field modernisation?
The first step should be to identify the components that need replacing. It is worth checking the condition of the nets, ball-stop systems, side barriers and the structures to which they are attached.
If the structure can continue to be used, the required net area should be measured carefully. TransNet manufactures custom nets, so a new product can be prepared to match the existing infrastructure.
The mesh size, cord thickness and other parameters should then be specified. The sports played and the way the facility is used should be taken into account.
If the barriers are to be extended, it is also helpful to identify the areas where balls most often leave the field.
When making an enquiry, provide the most accurate dimensions possible, photographs of the existing structure and information about the scope of the planned modernisation.
How much does sports field modernisation cost?
The cost of modernising a sports field depends primarily on the scope of the components to be replaced or completed.
For the solutions offered by TransNet, the quotation is influenced by factors including the dimensions of the nets and ball-stop systems, mesh size, cord thickness, the number of sections required and the way the barrier is prepared.
Modernisation may be limited to a single net or cover several parts of the entire facility. The cost is therefore best determined after establishing the actual scope of work.
If the existing structure can be reused, modernisation may mainly involve preparing new nets to fit its dimensions.
Which facilities can be modernised?
TransNet solutions can be used when modernising various types of sports fields. The scope of changes should be adapted to the condition of the infrastructure and the way the specific facility is used.
Community sports fields
Modernisation of a community sports field may include replacing worn nets, renewing barriers behind goals or completing ball-stop systems in selected parts of the facility.
School sports fields
At school sports fields, sports nets, ball-stop systems and other safety components used during everyday activities can be replaced.
Club sports fields
Club facilities may require existing nets to be replaced or barriers to be adapted to the way training sessions and matches are conducted.
Multi-purpose sports fields
At facilities intended for several sports, modernisation may include different types of nets and barriers adapted to several ways of using the space.
Neighbourhood sports fields
At publicly accessible sports fields, the most worn components can be replaced and barriers extended in areas where balls frequently leave the playing area.
Recreational facilities
Modernisation of recreational areas may include replacing nets and adding components that separate the sports area from its surroundings.

Frequently asked questions about sports field modernisation
Sports field modernisation can include replacing a single net or extending existing barriers. Below, we answer the most common questions about modernisation using TransNet solutions.
What can sports field modernisation include?
It can include replacing worn nets, completing ball-stop systems, securing the sides of the field and replacing goal nets.
Can only the net in an existing ball-stop system be replaced?
Yes. If the existing structure remains suitable for use, a new net can be prepared to its specific dimensions.
Does TransNet make custom nets for existing sports fields?
Yes. Sports nets and ball-stop solutions can be manufactured to measure according to the parameters of the existing facility.
What can community sports field modernisation involve?
It may include replacing worn nets, renewing ball-stop systems, completing missing barriers and adapting new nets to existing structures.
Do all barriers on a sports field need to be replaced?
No. The scope of modernisation should reflect the technical condition and actual needs of the facility. In many cases, only selected components need to be replaced.
What information is required for a quotation?
The most helpful information includes the required net dimensions, the height and width of the ball-stop systems, details of the existing structure and the scope of the planned replacement or extension.
Can the net parameters be changed during modernisation?
Yes. The new net can have a different mesh size, cord thickness or colour from the previous one if this is better suited to the facility's current use.
What determines the cost of sports field modernisation?
The cost depends primarily on the scope of modernisation, the required net dimensions, production parameters and the number of components to be replaced or completed.
