Patent-pending retractable net system

One space,
wide open.

A pavilion, a lawn, a court, a garden — until the moment you need a net.

Net down.
Game on.

One button lowers a full cage into place — and lifts it out of sight when you're done.

What it is

Nets are great. Living with them isn't.

LiftNets is a motorized lifting system that raises an entire net enclosure into the ceiling of your structure — and lowers it back down on demand. When the net is up, you get your space back: open pavilion, party lawn, parking, whatever you want. When it's down, you have a full professional-grade cage.

How it works

Two rings, one winch, zero hassle.

The system installs into new or existing structures — pavilions, gazebos, barns, court canopies — and runs off a simple 12-volt drive.

Upper ring

A rigid ring mounts overhead in your structure. It carries the upper net, the routing pulleys, and the lifting cables.

Lower ring + net

The net hangs from a matching lower ring. Lowered, it seals the enclosure top to bottom. Raised, the whole net gathers neatly at the ceiling.

Where it works

One system. A dozen backyards' worth of ideas.

It started as a batting cage. Then we kept finding reasons to lower the net.

Batting cages

A 72-foot tunnel with pro netting — that disappears when practice is over.

Pickleball & tennis

Contain every ball on your court — or convert an old tennis court into a covered pickleball pavilion.

Golf, soccer & all-sport

Hitting bays, soccer volleys, lacrosse reps — any sport that needs a backstop.

Parties & pavilions

Net up, it's a wedding venue, party pavilion, or shaded lawn. The cage never crashes the party.

Gardens & wildlife

Drop a protective mesh over beds and bushes at dusk; lift it away for a wide-open garden by day.

Gazebos & patios

Mosquito netting on summer evenings, gone the rest of the time. Screened porch, minus the porch.

Also on the drawing board: RV & van shelters, open-market booths, multi-cage sports complexes, and tennis-court conversions.

The story

Built for a grandson. Engineered for everyone.

It started with a simple problem: a grandson who loves baseball, and a beautiful backyard that a permanent batting cage would ruin. Inspired by touchless boat covers, Craig Hanson — a career engineer — designed a lifting system that raises the entire net into the pavilion roof when it's not in use.

The first system is built, tested, and gets swung in daily. Every part is fabricated and pre-assembled in our own shop.
