Baseball & Softball Tie-Back Backstop Systems

Applications

At Midwest Netting Solutions (MNS), we design and install custom-engineered baseball and softball tie-back backstop systems for outdoor fields at high schools, colleges, youth leagues, and professional stadiums.
Tie-back backstops are ideal for fields requiring flexible net placement, expanded safety zones, or specialized field layouts. Our systems are built to meet league standards and regulations, providing safe, durable, and regulation-compliant protection for players, spectators, and surrounding property.

Customization

Every MNS tie-back system is fully tailored to your field’s specific requirements. We consider field dimensions, net height, wind and ice loads, and structural needs to engineer a system that performs flawlessly in all outdoor conditions.
Our team custom-fabricates poles, nets, and hardware on-site, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless installation. Tie-back systems can be adjusted for unique angles and setbacks, offering flexibility that makes them ideal for multi-use fields or non-standard layouts.

 

For those looking for a DIY approach, MNS also provides complete Tie-Back Backstop Kits, including poles, netting, hardware, and installation recommendations tailored to your exact needs.

 

Materials

MNS tie-back backstops are built with premium, weather-resistant materials engineered for longevity and professional performance.

• Poles: Custom-fabricated new steel pipe, sandblasted, primed, and finished with a durable black top coat
• Hardware: Hot-dip galvanized fittings, cables, and tension systems for corrosion resistance
• Netting:
  • #36 UV-treated nylon for standard baseball and softball backstops
  • #42 UV-treated nylon for batting cages and high-impact training
  • HDPE Dyneema® netting for professional stadiums needing maximum strength and durability

Each component is selected and installed for consistent strength, safety, and clean professional aesthetics.

Installation

With over 15 years of experience and more than 1,000 projects completed nationwide, MNS brings unmatched knowledge and professionalism to every installation.
Tie-back systems require precise pole placement and tensioning to ensure safe net performance and optimal coverage. Our team handles all phases—from foundation work and pole setting to cable tensioning and final net adjustments—with efficiency and attention to detail.
