Default Giant mesh

I am trying to build a place in my backyard where i can shoot pucks but id rather not miss and hit my house with pucks. Does anyone know where i can buy like a big thing of mesh? or some sort of protection i can put behind the net?

Have you seen the household golf driving practice modules? It might be possible to disassemble that for the netting.

Too bad Calgary isn't a port city, large netting would be readily available (as the fishing vessels can get all sorts).
