Around the world, every sod farmer does things a little differently, but one key aspect ties every roll together. No matter the width, depth, or type of turf harvested, every operation needs quality sod netting. To provide our industry with the best nets possible, Magnum considers the real-world use and future impact of every innovation. Get to know what makes our netting stand out in this deep dive, or contact our team to learn from an expert!
Why Netting Matters
Top producers understand the intricacies that netting is used for, but what makes our rolls stand out from the rest? When designing the netting our customers trust every day, Magnum looked into what makes a sod farm successful. These are three key aspects that tie every operation together.
Quality Control
Maintaining a consistent level of quality not only helps make your operation successful, it also elevates our entire industry! By using high-quality netting, producers that trust Magnum deliver exceptional yields season after season. From the strongest field netting available to advanced biodegradable big roll net construction, we supply the world’s top turf farms with industry-leading solutions.
The Planet
Since our industry heavily relies on the planet for our productivity, Magnum also strongly believes that we should take care of it! To make a positive impact on the environment and our industry, we offer the USDA-certified biodegradable BioHarvestNet™. This big roll net option eliminates the hard work and waste of removing plastic netting with a 100% plant-based composition. While saving the planet, this sod netting also saves time and money!
Bottom Line
Investing wisely is one of the most important things you can do to stay at the top of our industry. That’s why Magnum discusses the needs of our customers in detail as they order every roll of netting. We offer a wide range of options to accommodate unique intricacies for some of the most diverse farms. No matter your needs, our team helps select the right netting for the success of your turf —and your operation!
Our Industry Go-Tos
Magnum is widely recognized as an industry leader for our line of harvesters, but those in the know also look to us for top-of-the-line sod netting. Our big roll solutions are made in the USA and designed with producers’ needs in mind. Thanks to decades of exceptional quality, the world’s top sod farms continue to trust us for these top solutions.
The Best for Big Rolls
As an international leader in big roll sod harvesting, it’s only fitting that Magnum is also a leading supplier of big roll netting. We offer a wide array of industry-leading solutions designed to give farmers what they need to harvest healthy, high-quality sod. Here are just three of the many reasons why Magnum is a trusted partner on farms around the globe.

Exceptional Materials
While we offer standard plastic netting, there’s nothing basic about our netting! We supply some of the strongest plastic-based netting available, but we don’t stop there. The EnviroNet line offers all the advantages of standard netting, but degrades faster over time. Both offerings provide a secure backing for big rolls of many shapes and sizes.
-
Flexible Options
Not every sod farm rolls their product the same. That’s why we stock a wide range of options to suit almost every need! Width options range from 23” to 48”, and the precise length depends on the desired strength your operation needs. Regular strength netting is 12,000 linear feet, mid-grade is 10,800 linear feet, and heavy duty rolls come in at 8,500 linear feet. No matter what your specs are, Magnum is your one stop for all big roll netting solutions!

Sustainable Construction
We keep the future in mind when it comes to every netting innovation. Standard plastic sod netting has been the industry go-to for decades, but for quality that lasts longer than the netting, EnviroNet is quickly becoming a popular solution! For another ground-saving option, BioHarvestNet™ netting is blazing a new path forward without leaving a trace.
Next-Generation Netting
With many facets of the agriculture industry finding more sustainable ways to be stewards of the soil, producers are looking to keep plastics out of their next harvest. To answer the call, Magnum delivers with BioHarvestNet™ made of 100% plant fiber. This not only keeps plastic out of the harvesting process, it provides a completely biodegradable option. While saving the planet, this innovative netting also saves time and money. Here are the biggest benefits that have farmers and installers going green!
-
Professional-Grade
Big rolls are often used to cover wide spans of turf in places like stadiums and golf courses. In these high-maintenance, low-turnaround situations, BioHarvestNet™ netting shines. Since it completely biodegrades in weeks—not months—after installation, crews don’t have to spend the time to remove this netting, unlike its plastic alternative.
-
Easy Installation
By eliminating one painstaking step of this process, BioHarvestNet™ netting helps installers roll out fresh sod faster! This also helps in residential and commercial applications where time is in short supply. In addition to faster installs, this netting also ensures a more uniform finish without the need for net removal.
-
Less Impact, More Value
Saving the planet is one reason to feel good about going green, but there’s another kind of green installers also like saving. Less installation time reduces labor costs on big projects, which saves thousands of dollars for customers who regularly need fresh sod. While farmers feel good about their impact on the environment, their customers can feel just as happy about the impact on their yearly budget!

Benefits of Biodegradable Netting
A Farmer’s Friend for Field Nets
Our decades in the sod industry have taught us that every second counts. That’s why our field netting is designed to save time installing and speed up harvesting. We offer the longest rolls available to limit stops to reload spools of sod netting, which adds up to hours of labor savings. Our netting is also the strongest in our industry, which allows installation equipment to install the field netting with less tearing.! These are the details that make our netting an asset on many farms worldwide.
Best-in-Class Coverage
If you’re rolling out netting over the entire span of your field, stopping every few minutes to reload can really slow you down. With over 25,000 linear feet of net per roll, our field netting saves precious minutes that can turn into hours, which saves hundreds in labor costs that can turn into thousands over time! For every 5 rolls you use, 20% more material over our leading competitor nets 100% more productivity.
Unrivaled Strength
The plastic composition of our field netting is 10% stronger than the next leading competitor. In addition to fewer tears during installation, this also provides a stronger support system for every roll of sod. Acting as a supportive scaffolding, our field netting supports a healthy yield, even when harvesting younger crops.
Quality-Focused
Like all of our sod netting options, every roll of field netting is focused on experiences for farms and the customers they serve. Magnum provides the highest-quality supplies to make harvesting more efficient and profitable while providing the highest-quality crop. From the field to the jobsite, our mark of excellence leaves a lasting impression by providing a greener future wherever big roll sod is found.

Field Notes About Field Netting
How to Order Netting
Since every farm is different, Magnum takes the time to help every customer make the right choice for their operation. Finding the right netting is just as important as finding the right seeds to plant, machine to harvest, or parts to keep everything moving. To help customers get the right netting the first time, our sales team walks them through a quick and easy process.
Measure Twice
We start by discussing how much material you need. In addition to the width of your harvester and desired strength, we also need to know how much acreage you plan to harvest for big roll net or how many acres you plan to cover for field net. We will also discuss your individual approach. We know each farm and each grower have unique approaches based on what works best in their conditions. Your Magnum rep will take all of your unique needs into consideration to identify the correct netting for your operation.
Talk About Options
In the next step, we’ll discuss your needs to factor in, like roll weight and cut width. This helps us determine the necessary strength and options available to you. We stock EnviroNet and BioHarvestNet™ in 23”, 29”, 40”, and 46” for the most common widths. However, we also offer made-to-order widths in 30”, 41”, 42”, and 48”. Keep in mind, these will take more time to ship due to the custom nature of your order.
The cut depth and length of your roll will determine the estimated weight of your finished roll, which will also determine the strength of big rollnetting you need. Each grade of big roll netting has different tensile strengths to accommodate most types of big roll sod. EnviroNet is also available in clear or brown colors. We take a lot into consideration to supply the right rolls of netting, even how frequently farms need it!
Keep Production Rolling
Instead of having to pick up the phone or find us online every time you need to reorder, we offer bulk pricing and automatic resupplying to keep everything running smoothly. Extra rolls on hand provide peace of mind to keep your machines in the field and minimize downtime. Thanks to a robust network of local warehouses and manufacturing right here in the US, you can get netting whenever, wherever you need it—fast! If anything changes about your process, or you’d like to discuss a different option, our support team is ready to help.
