Hi, I'm after some advice / thoughts from the seasoned players amounst you lot, I'm erecting a couple of milenium fields for events later this year in the Midlands, both of the arenas are side on to a woods so there is no safety need for nets down one side.
My question is, from a players point of view would this detract from your experience or bother you in any way?

I would rather have netting all the way round. Looks more professional and would make boundaries a lot easier to keep.

Also, from a safety point of view. There could be someone wandering through the forest and could get hit by a stray ball. Not likely to happen, but it could.

It definitely looks more proffesional and also makes it alot easier not to run outside the boundary line by mistake.
If it were me I would net it.

one other thing id say (not too sure if its true but hey ho) in theory if you have netting all the way round on four poles it would also be more stable because each pole would be taking the same amount of strain, thus evening it out and making it look better overall. also it is much safer with all 4 sides.
