Pilgrim School
Client: Pilgrim School
Location: 540 S. Commonwealth Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90020
Net Size: 165’ x 13′
Mesh Size: 4″
Material: UV Treated Nylon
Netting Type: Sport Court Safety Net
Installation Height: 21’
Overview
This project involved constructing a 13′ high safety net mounted above an existing chain link fence located on top of Pilgrim School’s parking garage. The goal was to significantly improve the safety of both parked vehicles and pedestrians using the rooftop space.
Given the school’s urban location and elevated court, containment was critical to ensure peace of mind for staff, students, and visitors. This installation now provides a reliable, long-term protective solution in a space where safety and structure integrity are essential.
Key Project Features
- 13’ Tall Containment Net mounted over an existing chain link barrier
- UV-Treated 4” Nylon Mesh engineered for durability in exposed rooftop environments
- 165’ Linear Coverage to fully enclose the vulnerable edge of the court
- 21’ Total Height including the original fence + mounted net system
- Designed to protect both parked vehicles and pedestrian traffic below
- Minimal impact on aesthetics and open-air feel of the rooftop space
Project Challenges
The rooftop court sits at a considerable height, surrounded only by a chain link perimeter. Without a robust netting system in place, there was increased risk of objects leaving the area and potentially falling to lower levels or nearby property. Structural limitations and wind exposure also posed challenges for a secure and durable installation.
Solution Provided
Judge Netting designed a custom containment system consisting of UV-treated nylon netting with a 4” mesh, mounted 13′ above the top of the fence for a total system height of 21‘ . The 165’ length ensured full-span coverage along the exposed edge of the rooftop court.
The result is a clean, secure, and high-performing system that protects both people and property below—while remaining visually unobtrusive and easy to maintain.
Why It Matters
Urban schools often make use of rooftop space for sports and recreation, but these environments come with safety challenges. At Pilgrim School, it was essential to secure the area without compromising space or visibility.
This netting system helps prevent accidents, reduces liability, and provides a secure space for students to play. It reflects the school’s commitment to safe, responsible infrastructure in dense city settings—and shows how protective netting can be both effective and unobtrusive.
