Soccer field cable is known to be an important material in tensioning the net around the soccer field. If you are planning to construct an artificial turf field, you need to make sure this mesh is very sturdy. Refer to the article below to choose the right cable type for your football field.
Ballpark cable and classification
Soccer field cable (also known as net tension cable) is a type of cable used to keep the net frame around the soccer field fixed and sturdy.
The type of cable commonly used is plastic-coated steel cable. This type has high durability and flexibility, is easy to bend and use. Especially the ability to withstand force and pressure under bad weather.
Depending on the height and weight of the net, we choose the appropriate cable type. The diameter size of cables usually ranges from 3 – 16 mm.
Not only used in soccer field design, this steel cable is also used in golf courses, tennis courts, shrimp and fish ponds, orchid gardens, vegetable gardens, swimming pool covers or parking lots…
Why should you use plastic-coated soccer field cables?
In order to ensure that the net does not sag or tear during use, the soccer field cable must ensure good strength. The plastic-coated steel cable line integrates an outer plastic sheath to help increase the flexibility of the cable. In addition, the plastic of the case is coated with a layer of U.V (including: inhibitors and flame retardant substances). The inside of the cable is heavy-duty galvanized steel. Thanks to this combination, it brings flexibility, elasticity and strength to the cable.
Although it is a durable material, when using this type of cable, you also need to note the following things:
-
Do not use the cable in places that are not suitable for the specified load that the cable can withstand (Carefully see the technical specifications on the packaging). Exceeding the allowable threshold will lead to cable breakage or breakage.
-
You should lubricate the cable end to reduce oxidation penetrating inside the cable.
-
The impact from a sudden drop in load can cause damage to the cable.
