Solidity Ratio for Golf Ball Protection Screen
Solidity Ratio for Golf Ball Protection Screen
(OP)
I recently saw a golf ball netting foundation designed with a 6ft x 6ft x 12foot deep concrete footing for the tower poles. The designer told me that the protective netting was based on a 100% solid surface area. Does anyone have any experience with this type of wind loads and foundation design. Any tips will be appreciated. Thanks.

In that thread I mention that we were a 3rd party reviewer for a driving range net support system. The system was designed by an engineer who had designed hundreds of these net supports all over the country. I thought the designer's wind load was low and proposed the wind load you see in the thread. It's five years later and I ride my bicycle past the driving range every day on my way to work. The poles are fine. The nets are tearing.
