The Net Return Side Barriers – Keep Every Mishit in Play
A shank or a thin shot does not care how good your net is. The Net Return Side Barriers extend the protected area out from the sides of your Net Return golf net so mishit balls stay in the hitting area instead of reaching walls, windows, cars or people. They are highly recommended for indoor use, for family practice, and anywhere an errant ball is a safety concern.
This listing is for the side barriers only. The net and frame are not included, so pair them with one of The Net Return Golf Nets.
Sizes to Match Your Net
Side barriers are sized to the net they attach to. Choose the size that matches your Net Return model: Universal for the Pro, Home and large nets; Mini; Junior; Pro 8 - Pro 9 - Pro 10; or Pro XL. Each set is sold as a pair, one right and one left. For the Universal size, each side barrier stands 7'4" high and extends out to about 11'-12' in length, and the pair weighs approximately 7 lb.
Built by Hand from Polyester Netting
The barriers are made from polyester netting, and each one is individually cut and sewn by hand. They are manufactured in the USA. The result is a barrier that matches the build quality of the Net Return nets themselves and holds up to the occasional ball that sneaks off the clubface.
Keeping the Frame Planted
At their maximum reach of roughly nine feet out, the barriers pull on the frame, and that tension can lift the back of it off the ground by a few inches. Weighting the rear of the frame with sandbags, or staking it when you set up on grass, removes the problem and keeps the whole net square to your hitting position. It takes a moment at setup and saves you from adjusting the net halfway through a session.
Living With Side Barriers
Because they fold back against the net when you are done, the barriers suit a garage where the car still needs to park, or a shared room that has other jobs to do. For travel or longer-term storage, they pack easily with your net in its duffle bag, so moving the whole setup from the garage to the yard for the summer stays a one-trip job.
When You Need Side Barriers
Side barriers are optional, and you can add them at any time. They are worth it when you practice indoors, when other people are nearby, or when you are hitting with friends and family whose swings you do not know. They also give newer golfers more confidence to swing freely, because an off-center strike is no longer a worry. If you are still planning your space, our guide on how much space you need for a golf simulator covers the clearances to check, and our best golf nets guide compares the nets we carry.
Practice With Confidence
Side barriers change how a session feels. When you know a mishit will stay in the hitting area, you stop steering the ball and start making your real swing, which is the whole point of practicing. That is especially true indoors, where a wall, a window or a parked car is only a few feet away, and in households where children or pets may wander past while you hit.
Part of the Net Return System
The Net Return builds its nets around a simple promise: more swings, fewer interruptions. Side barriers fit that idea, keeping the ball in play so your session continues instead of turning into a search. Browse the full The Net Return range for nets and accessories, or the wider golf nets collection to see every option.

Net Return Side Barriers
The side nets are simple to install and work great. The sandbags are clean, don't leak sand and make extending and retracting the side barriers very easy. I wish I would have purchased these sooner.
Net Return Pro
I love this product. Was delivered on time and set up easily. No surprises.
Net Return Side Barriers
Excellent item. I would defbuy from you again.
The Indoor Golf Shop
Hello Carbone, Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that you like your side barriers and hope they keep your walls safe!
Net Return Side Nets
Originally I had just purchased the net itself thinking I wouldn't need the side nets. While that turned out to be true for most shots, I quickly found out that mentally I wanted the added protection of the side nets which did come in handy on the occasion of errant shot. The side nets are certainly worth the added investment.
The Indoor Golf Shop
Hello Shawn, Thank you for your review! We hope you don't need the side barriers too much, but always good to have just in case your friends come over!

Walk Them In, Get Your Space Back
Side barriers only help if they are easy to live with. When you finish practicing, pick up each anchor and walk the barrier into the front of the frame. Both sides fold in beside the net in seconds and hand back the floor space they covered, which makes them practical for a garage where the car still needs to park.
Each barrier is individually cut and sewn by hand from polyester netting and made in the USA, to the same build quality as the Net Return nets. They are sold as a right and left pair and sized to your net: Universal for the Pro, Home and large nets, Mini, Junior, Pro 8 - Pro 9 - Pro 10, or Pro XL. The net itself is not included, so pair them with one of The Net Return Golf Nets.

Straight Out or Angled Wide
Set the barriers straight out for a protected hitting lane, or angle them wider to cover more of the room around you. Color-coordinated tabs attach them to the frame, and setup takes under five minutes.
The Universal barriers stand 7'4" high and extend about 11 to 12 feet, and the pair weighs approximately 7 lb. At their maximum reach of roughly nine feet out, the barriers pull on the frame, and that tension can lift the back of it a few inches off the ground. Weight the rear of the frame with sandbags, or stake it when you set up on grass, and everything stays planted shot after shot. They are highly recommended for indoor use, for family practice and anywhere an errant ball is a safety concern.
