ADELAIDE OVAL AFL NETTING
Adelaide, Australia
Project Summary
Two 30m x 12m AFL behind-goal netting systems installed at Adelaide Oval, one of Australia's most prestigious sporting venues. Each system is built on black powder-coated structural steel framing with 100mm square black netting, engineered to handle the demands of elite AFL while matching the look of the stadium. The black netting also cuts glare for players and spectators, keeping sightlines clear and the focus where it belongs, on the game.
