I'm looking for a set of side nets for a 13' model H skee ball game. I don't need the frames, just the nets themselves.

Thanks
Don
 
Skee-Ball still sells them but for insane prices. They acually suggested to me to use tennis court or volleyball netting after I told them what a cheap bastard I am.
 
I called skee ball. They said the company that made the nets for them went out of business and they have been looking for a year to find someone else to make them. They said they will probably list the 13' ones as obsolete.
 
I think it was last summer when I talked to Skee-Ball. They told me they had the nets but they wanted something like $130 or so per side.
 
I ended up making my own, frames and all.
I bought some golf netting from wal mart, used to stop golf balls.
I bought red vinyl and sewed it around the out side to finish it off.

I probably have some pics somewhere.
 
here is a picture

Those came out really nice. Great job. What did you use for the frame, and the end pieces for holding the nets to the game?

I was able to find a set on ebay. I'll post some pics when i find the little cable that hooks up to my camera.
 
I used 1/2" emt electrical tubing from Home Depot.
I used a tubing bender to bend it and then welded the end.
they make mechanical connectors in 45 and 90 degrees if welding isn't possible.
when I was looking for nets, they were expensive and hard to find.
 
Here are a few pics of the set I got off of ebay. I also found some alley cleaner that did a great job.

Dang! Those look nicer than the originals! You should contact Skee Ball and tell them you'll be a supplier. Then hire some minimum wage workers to crank them out. LOL.
