The video below shows the 6 tests being performed on the White High Strength Net.
Drop tests were conducted in 2008 on 2 panels of stock net (black and white). The drop was 20 feet and the panel measured 12′ x 25′. The drop was made over the center of the net using an assembled piece of wood weighing 15 lb.
Black Net
The chunk of wood broke through the net after 2 drops.
White Net
No damage to the net after 5 drops. A 6th test was performed using a 55 lb cast iron weight with no damage to the white net.
