User questions & answers
Question: | This this just the net |
Answer: | I e-mailed customer service, they are made and assembled in Hong Kong, not the US. |
Question: | Does it have an opening for the hitter to enter |
Answer: | All birds need a variety of stick/ perch surfaces...not just one...at least 5-6 depending on your cage size, or they will get a foot- rot disease that can be fatal. Buy a book on your birds since you seem unsure of this major purchase...their perches! Most important! |

User questions & answers
Question: | d inside what is the better for me to practice the bantam player |
Answer: | Real baseballs are not recommended for this cage because there is a 18" x 18" square that a ball can be pitched through. If a real ball is hit, it could possibly exit the cage. If you have lite-balls or mini balls that are soft, then there is no issue. |
Question: | Would this work indoors, unstaked |
Answer: | Yes. Fully enclosed. But, I would buy something else. The framing sucks |

Product description
FRAME NOT INCLUDED!!!! Constructed from #42 Twine Size knotted HDPE(High Density Polyethylene). Includes all deluxe features. For youth through commercial applications, fits in the typical batting cage square seen at most parks & fields. Net is hung on a square, which absorbs the impact of the balls over several meshes with no high spots to accelerate wear. UV & Weather protection is embedded during extrusion, Not a cheap coating that will flake off in a couple of years. Life expectancy is 8 to 10 years. We believe this is the best batting cage for the dollar value on the market today. Why buy from us? We are a family business started by my grandfather over 50 years ago. We intend on being in business for another 50 years. We have over 20 years' experience with netting & have shipped to 10s of thousands of customers worldwide. We only sell quality, well made products. What's the difference? Nylon vs. Polyethylene: Our Polyethylene nets, the UV inhibitors are inside the Polymeric blend that gets extruded into the individual fibers. These fibers are twisted or braided into twine. Since the UV inhibitor is built into the fibers, it can't wear off. Polyethylene doesn't absorb water, doesn't rot, and loses very little strength year to year. Their Nylon nets are coated with a UV inhibitor which tends to wear off in a year or two. Nylon absorbs water, encouraging mold, mildew, and rotting. See picture above. Typically a new nylon net used outside in direct sun will lose 15% to 20% of its tensile strength each year.. Returned items subject to 20% restocking fee.
- FRAME NOT INCLUDED!!!
- Baseball Batting Cage Net 10'T x 12'W x 60'L #42 Twine Size HDPE (60PLY) with Door
- What is the difference between square hung & diamond hung mesh? To put it simply, Square Mesh is better. Diamond Mesh is cheaper.
- What is Posi-lock stitching? It is a process where the machine tightly weaves a cord around the rope and the net to provide the strongest possible bond betweeen the two. Some manufacturers will just weave the rope in and out of the netting panels which can result in the rope pulling away from or out of the panels
- What does this net weigh? Read closely. This is important. This 10' x 12' x 60' #42 Twine Size 60PLY net will weigh around 92 lbs. One of our main competitors based in England, Net World Sports / Greenbow Sports, their fortress net, same size #42 Twine Size net made out of an inferior material Polypropylene (Which doesn't wear as well as our Polyethylene) only weighs around 55 lbs. How is this possible? Frankly, in my opinion, it is not possible. Their net is simply lighter duty.

User questions & answers
Question: | Can you use real baseballs with this net |
Answer: | I would say that you can but I use the jugs lite-flight baseballs. |
Question: | Is this too flimsy to be used for soft toss/tee work with real baseballs |
Answer: | We used this net for 2 years - only taking it down for big wind storms. We had ZERO issues. It was largely used by 10-13 year old boys but was used occasionally by men (seasoned baseball players) hitting baseballs with no issue other than some sway. I finally took it down because it got hit by a large lawnmower and the netting was severely damaged. |
Question: | Can this be set up to use on a driveway? Would I need to put a few pavers to hold it down |
Answer: | The poles are straight as you stake the ends into the ground (dirt or grass) you form the arch. You would need to modify the footers to have a flat bottom and weigh them down. Short answer is no, not out of the box. If you modify than anything is possible. |
Question: | How long it typically takes to install the net? Can we remove the front screen to use actual pitcher |
Answer: | The net and frame took me about a half hour. Its a two person job though. The front of the net doesn't come off. Its just one big piece. |
