A closer look at the buffer cover, sized and fitted to its section of the net.
Custom Cricket Net Buffer Covers | BDM
At BDM Leather & Canvas, we work directly with clients to source the right materials and manufacture buffer protection built to match what's already in place. For Evolution Cricket, that meant sourcing a ripstop canvas that matched their existing beige screens and cutting black buffer sheets to the exact size each section of netting needed.
Featured Project — Cricket Net Buffer Covers for Evolution Cricket
The Brief: Evolution Cricket needed additional buffer protection across sections of their indoor practice lanes — black canvas sheets, sized to fit specific areas within the existing netting.
The Challenge: Match the finish of the existing beige ripstop screens while manufacturing several sheets to the specific sizes required for each section of netting.
The Solution: Working directly with the client, BDM sourced a ripstop canvas that matched the existing screens and manufactured the buffer sheets in black to the sizes specified.
What We Make
Buffer and impact-protection sheets for indoor cricket lanes and practice nets
Panels sized to fit specific sections within an existing net structure
Ripstop canvas covers colour-matched or pattern-matched to existing screens
Made-to-size canvas protection for sporting and training facilities
Materials We Use
Materials Used:
Ripstop canvas (black) — pattern-matched to the client's existing beige screens, built to take repeated impact
Outcome:
A set of buffer covers manufactured to the sizes Evolution Cricket needed, finished to match their existing screens — durable, consistent, and fitted without any compromise to the rest of the netting setup.
Made to Fit, Made to Match
A buffer sheet only earns its place if it fits the exact section it's protecting and doesn't look out of place next to what's already there. Rather than supplying an off-the-shelf sheet, we matched the ripstop finish already in use and cut each panel to the size the client specified, so the result sits in the net as if it was part of the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match buffer sheets to our existing screens?
Yes — we can match the material, pattern and colour of your current screens so new buffer sheets sit in as part of the original setup rather than standing out.
Can panels be sized to fit specific sections of a net?
Yes — every panel is manufactured individually rather than as a single standard size, so each section of your net gets a cover cut specifically for that space.
What material do you use for buffer sheets?
We typically use a mid-weight 680gsm PVC, strong enough to handle heavy dust and dirt exposure in demanding industrial environments.We use a ripstop canvas built to handle repeated impact, available in black or matched to an existing colour and pattern.
Do you supply buffer protection for other sports facilities?
Yes — the same approach applies to any indoor or outdoor training facility needing made-to-size impact protection.
