Backyard Batting Cage Net - Pittsburgh, PA

Today we are preparing to design & install a custom batting cage net for a client in Pittsburgh, PA. The specs of this batting cage net are: #36 Deluxe Latex Nylon Baseball Tunnel 44'L x 14'W x 12'H - With Door, Leadcore Bottom Rope, #36 Latex Baffle Net: 14'W x 12'H.

 #36 Nylon is a mid-grade material for batting cage nets, and suitable for high-school ages. 14'W is the recommended width for adult players to swing comfortably inside a batting cage net from either side of the plate. Doors are useful for entering the batting cage while carrying bats/balls. Our doors are designed with an overlap to improve safety. Leadcore bottom ropes help the base of the net hang closer to the ground. Baffle impact nets are useful to reduce wear & tear on the batter's end of the batting cage. When the baffle wears out it can simple be removed & replaced, instead of requiring sewing into the shell of the batting cage net itself.

This client will use this as a backyard batting cage, for baseball practice for their kids. We are also designing a custom batting cage frame to properly suspend the netting, which will be installed into ground sleeves which will be concreted into the ground. The ground sleeves allow the frame poles to be removed if needed. Below is an example of the style of batting cage being designed:

We are also installing a custom vinyl full enclosure to allow for winter season batting practice. The vinyl cover will have zippers in the corners to allow for the side walls to be removed during the spring & summer months, to allow for air flow & light.

A custom sized roll of batting cage turf will be glued to a concrete pad, to create an even / solid surface and the grass from becoming worn & muddy. The artificial turf will have a white home-plate & batter's box lines inlaid into the turf.

The owner will also utilize a protective L-screen inside the batting cage to prevent injury from a line-drive towards the pitcher.

This is a medium sized custom batting cage net, and suitable for little league regulation or "coach pitch" style batting cage practice. The regulation distance for baseball pitching is 60'6" - our 70'L standard size batting cage nets work well for regulation baseball pitching & hitting practice.
