• Affordable - Priced with the family in mind -- a 50' cage with #21 netting the price is only $567. This price includes netting, connectors, L-screen, and all hardware. No installation kits to buy, cement to pour, or holes to dig. (See note regarding shipping costs with and without poles on the Prices page.)
   
• Durable - The system is stable and safe. It is a personal thing, but I like knotted nylon over poly net. I think knotted nylon netting is much stronger than poly net. It is strong, UV protected, and will last for years. The #21 gauge has a burst strength of 200 pounds per strand or about 800 pounds per mesh (diamond). Look or ask for the tenacity rating on knotted nylon. It is a measure of its strength and durability. An ok rating is 8. Good quality netting should be at least 9.0. Ours is above 9.
   
• Portable - Unlike other cages, this system is PORTABLE! Two people can put up the cage in about 30 minutes, my son and I have put up a 50' cage in fifteen minutes. This works out great for a team practice. With help from your team, it will go up in minutes! It comes down in even less time. The L-screen is portable too, its support legs come off and the screen folds in half.
   
• Flexible - Put up as few or as many sections as you like, up to the length of your cage. Each section is 10' long. It automatically fits the contour of your ground, which does not have to be level. It can be adjusted to fit narrower confines and can even be tapered to fit odd shaped spaces.
   
• Versatile - Indoors or outdoors. Not only does it make a great outdoor batting cage, but it can be taken indoors during inclement weather or during winter to keep your players in shape. Utilize existing space and create an extra hitting station.
   

Details...

• Dimensions - The cage is trapezoidal in shape: 10' tall, 10' wide at the top, and about 14' wide at the bottom. The poles are 3/4" EMT - Electrical Metallic Tubing. The trade name is "thin wall." The poles are 10' long steel galvanized pipe and available at hardware and electrical supply stores such as Home Depot or Lowe's. The L-screen is 6.5' tall by 7' wide with a 3'x3.5' cutout.
   
• Netting - The netting is 1 7/8" knotted nylon mesh. The #21 is rated at 200 lb. breaking strength per cord or 800 lb. per mesh. The netting hangs on the diamond, not on the square. This allows for more give when hit by a ball so there is less chance for tear and less abrasion. It also allows water to run-off more quickly. Here is a close-up snapshot of the #21 netting. One of the most important aspects of quality netting for batting cages is its tenacity. It should have a tenacity rating of at least 9.0.
   
• UV Protection - The netting is dipped in a bonding agent for protection from weather and UV. Unlike other cage companies, our netting is dipped after the knots are made. This sets the knots so they won't come undone.
   
• Less Sag - Another advantage of our design over the traditional netting is it has much less sag. With our ten foot sections and the fact that the netting is hung over the frame means considerable less sag, only a few inches rather than feet. Traditional cages normally have only three or four frames to support the netting. The weight of the netting causes tremendous sag, in some cases 2-3' of sag. It is not uncommon for a 12' high traditional cage to only have 9' of height clearance. Look at some of the pictures on the web and see. Most of the time the other cage manufacturers will only display drawings of their netting, of course with no sag!
