You're going to need to do something. Otherwise, you'll be either entangling or getting damaged just about every match, probably both. A transparent sheet of something might help; a pretty fine mesh would be an excellent option (less chance of tangling unless you've taken damage). I would also suggest coming up with a way of pulling in the netting supports at least partially to get them farther out of the way (and avoid penalties).
