**Must be licensed in California.** My design is based on a pre engineered netting system. I have drafted a sketch for a 30-ft-tall softball backstop net in Ontario, California: four Schedule-40 steel poles (8.625" OD) set 5 ft direct-bury, two behind home plate and one down each foul line, supporting a tie-back / tensioned Sportsfield-style net system. What I need now is a licensed structural engineer who can: • Review my layout and pole sizing, check wind and seismic loads, and verify the embedment depth • Identify the correct Ontario / California codes that apply (I do not yet have a code list) • Work without a geotechnical report; if you need minimum soil parameters, advise me on reasonable assumptions or additional info to request • Produce stamped structural calculations and permit-ready drawings that the city will accept (PDF plus original stamp) I can send the sketch and any dimensions you request right away. Please reply with your fixed fee or milestone breakdown and an estimated turnaround time so we can get this submitted to the building department as soon as possible.

With Ontario Softball Net Engineering being my forte, I am confident that my skills, knowledge, and experience as a licensed structural engineer make me an exceptional fit for this project. Adept with software like 3D Max, Maya, SketchUp, AutoCAD, and SolidWorks to name a few; I can carefully review your layout to ensure it is substantiated by the correct Ontario/California codes. Discussing over wind loads, seismic specifications and verifying pole sizes/depths is amongst my many specialties. Moreover, not having a geotechnical report won't hinder your project progression as I'm accustomed to making well-informed assumptions with minimum soil data available. I'll employ all the key details you provide me to generate permit-ready drawings that are specific to the norms of the city, assuring you efficiency in the submission process.

I’m a California‑licensed Structural Engineer experienced with sports‑field structures, and I can review and stamp your 30‑ft‑tall Ontario softball backstop net design, including your four Schedule‑40 steel poles and pre‑engineered Sportsfield‑style net system. I’ll check pole sizing, 5‑ft direct‑bury embedment, and wind/seismic loads using applicable California and Ontario codes (such as CBC/IBC, ASCE 7, and the City of Ontario building code), and I’ll provide a clear set of stamped structural calculations and permit‑ready drawings in PDF. Because no geotechnical report is available, I’ll work with reasonable soil‑resist‑force and allowable‑bearing assumptions suitable for Ontario’s typical conditions and can advise you on what minimum parameters or testing you might request if the city or geotechnical reviewer asks for them. For a straightforward backstop‑net project of this scope, my fixed‑fee range is usually $2,500, with a typical turnaround of 7 business days after you send your sketch, dimensions, and any relevant site photos; I’ll also provide a brief code‑applicability summary and can submit the package directly to your building department if you wish. Best regards, Devin

Hi there, I’m a licensed professional engineer with 20+ years of experience in structural design and code compliance. It sounds like you need review and stamped calculations for a 30-ft softball net system in Ontario, CA, including wind/seismic checks and embedment verification—I’ve handled similar pole-supported structures. * Review your layout, pole sizing, and geometry * Analyze wind and seismic loads per California codes * Verify embedment depth and stability assumptions * Prepare structural calculations for permit * Provide stamped, permit-ready drawings I’ve designed and stamped pole and net support systems that passed city review in California. Do you have any soil info at all, or should I proceed with standard assumptions for the area? I look forward to working with you. Best Regards, Michael
