Please note: our office will be closed between end of day 24th December, and re-opening on Thursday 2nd January, 2025.

We are delighted to announce the launch of the new Oxley Nets website, designed & built by Contactpoint. 

Moving into online sales is a first for Oxley Nets, who have been in operation since 1893 – that’s over 130 years!  The new website sports a new brand, and makes it super easy for visitors to find the appropriate net, enter the required size, select from numerous options, calculate the price and order.  It's also easy to enquire about a custom net.

The WordPress website combines WooCommerce with several  other plugins and custom code, which work together to manage stock of raw materials.  The website also integrates with the financial system.

Oxley Nets provide a huge range of nets for backyards, sporting complexes, safety & industrial netting, and netting for architectural purposes.
