 Doug and Mike
Barberry formed Barr-Net, Inc.
in January of 1997. The Barberry family has been growing quality
turfgrass sod since 1950, currently operating Aldino Sod Farms, Inc. in Churchville,
Maryland. Recently, Doug Barberry has become the sole owner and operator
of the Barr-Net, Inc. production company. The development of the
Barrnetter has grown from the need to reduce labor, increase efficiency,
and increase profitability.
In the past, field netting was installed with a large labor force pinning
the edges of the net by hand. It was a very tedious, labor intensive, and
expensive process. The field netting process began about 1970 and up to
about 1992 the process was installed by hand until four turf growers from
Maryland and Kentucky got together and built the forerunner of the
Barr-Net C-175/20XLSR. After two years  of R & D
the generation one machine was built and marketed to the industry on
January 06, 1997.
Today’s third generation production model is a major improvement over the
first and second-generation models. Barr-Net, Inc. has set the standard
for field net installation, selling over 200 units in the United States,
Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Turkey, and Russia. We are continuing
to search for better methods of field net installation; our intention is
to stay ahead of industry needs.
