Ongole plays a lot of cricket, and increasingly it plays it in enclosed spaces — terrace nets on new houses in Sujatha Nagar, school and academy lanes around Santhapeta and Throvagunta, and box cricket turfs opening along Kurnool Road. All of them come down to the same two things: netting, and the structure that holds it taut. Get those right and it lasts years. Get them wrong and you are re-doing it after one season.
The Three Setups We Build Most in Ongole
1. Terrace practice nets
The most common enquiry. A single lane on your own rooftop where a son or daughter can bat and bowl every evening. Poles are anchored to the terrace slab or the parapet, wire rope runs along the top and sides, and the net is fitted and tied down along every edge. The critical detail is how the anchor holes are sealed — insist on this being answered before anyone drills.
2. School and academy lanes
Two, three or four lanes side by side with dividing nets between them, so several players can practise without balls crossing over. Height matters more here than people expect, and so does the divider net quality, because that is what takes repeated impact.
3. Box cricket and turf enclosures
A fully enclosed arena — four sides plus a roof net — usually paired with artificial turf. This is a commercial build, and the netting is what keeps every ball inside and the neighbours happy. Costs several times a single lane because you are enclosing several times the area. We cover the full picture in box cricket turf setup cost.
How the Price Is Built Up
- Netting area. Every face you cover, plus the roof if you want one. Height multiplies across every side at once, so it moves the total more than length does.
- Structure. Poles, base plates, wire rope, turnbuckles, anchors. On a terrace this is often the bigger half of the bill, and it is what decides whether the net stays taut.
- Site conditions. How the poles are anchored, access for material, whether existing steelwork can be reused.
- Turf, if you want it. A separate line, quoted per square foot of playing surface.
Give any installer your length, width and required height and they can give you a ballpark. A firm number needs a site visit — anyone quoting a final figure over the phone is guessing, and the guess is usually adjusted upward later.
The Specification to Insist On
- UV-stabilised netting. Non-negotiable in Prakasam district sun. Untreated net goes brittle and starts shredding within a season.
- Twine thickness and mesh size in writing. Thin twine and loose mesh are exactly how a quote gets cheap. See HDPE vs nylon cricket nets for what these numbers mean.
- Edge tying at close intervals along the full boundary — not corner-only fixing, which is the single most common failure point.
- Treated or galvanised steelwork for poles and fittings.
- Sealed anchor points on terrace installations.
- A written warranty and local finished work you can go and look at.
Getting the Size Right
A proper practice lane wants roughly 60–70 ft of length for a genuine run-up, around 10–12 ft of width, and enough height that a lofted shot does not clear the enclosure. Cutting the height to save money is the false economy people regret first. Our cricket practice net size and height guide works through the dimensions properly.
Not Just Cricket
The same structures carry netting for football and futsal cages, volleyball and badminton courts, basketball surrounds, and boundary or safety netting on open grounds. If you are building a multi-sport court, the mesh and height change per game — read sports nets for football, badminton and pickleball before you finalise a spec.

Quick Answers
How long does an installation take?
A single terrace lane is usually a day or two. A full turf enclosure takes longer depending on size and access.
Can I do the sides now and the roof later?
Yes, provided the pole heights are planned for it from the start. Say so at the site visit.
Will it hold up in the wind?
A properly tensioned structure with treated steel and UV-stabilised net handles local weather for years. A cheap one leans and sags by the second season.
Do you supply the turf as well?
Yes — most arena owners get the netting and the playing surface done together.
