[SML] Pit Netting

[Bill Sapsis]

Hi all.

Andrew touched on the real problem with pit nets.  Not enough of them are properly anchored.  The nets themselves are fine.  I’ve worked with the Incord nets and they’re great.  But if you don’t get the proper anchorages you’ll be in trouble.  Falling into a net and becoming one with an upright bass can’t be a good thing.

Get a good engineer to sort out the best way to anchor the net.

Thanks

Be well.  Stay safe.

Ours was made locally, I’m told, in 1997, during construction of the building, by a fishnet making company.

The netting I trust; the anchors on the moveable pit wall by the audience are a different issue.  Depends if you’re rating them for props (to protect the musicians), or for actors/singers.

(not much help, but maybe us a “local” netting company…..)

I am looking to get a pit net for when we have the pit cover out.  I need three quotes.  I am in contact with InCord and their local distributer but need to find two more.  Any suggestions on a company to contact (or avoid).  (I am in South central Pennsylvania).  Thanks
