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.
