Not necessarily. It would seem that netting with a break strength of 300 pounds would be twice as durable as netting with a break strength of 150. However, that’s only the initial break strength. There are many factors, such as direct sunlight, water, and tension, that can diminish the break strength over time. Once the netting drops below a break strength of 60 pounds, it will fail. If you use low-quality netting, it could reach this point in as little as two seasons. If the 150-pound netting was manufactured to be sunlight and water resistant, you might get five or even seven seasons out of it. It’s more important to consider the long-term break strength over the initial break strength of the netting when purchasing a batting cage.;
