Custom Batting Cage Nets

Our shops can custom build a batting cage net to any shape or size within about 2 weeks or less. Our company, Practice Sports, Inc. has been in the batting cage net design business since 2001, and our partner shops have been building custom batting cage nets for over 25 years.

Batting Cage Styles
Our shops can handle any style batting cage net you can dream of. From fully enclosed, to open-sided, and even soft-toss pockets or custom tapers - we can handle it.

Batting Cage Net with ceiling pitch contours / tapers. This style works great in metal peaked buildings.

Open sided batting cage net. This style works great for various applications such as backstops, soccer goals, cricket cages, soft-toss batting cages and more.

ShellCage with sliding divider curtains. This batting cage net works great for large warehouses that need a variety of cage sizes. The dividers can slide opening the cage into a giant playable area, or close off individual tunnels for multiple team practice.

Batting cage net with soft-toss pocket sewn onto the end, allowing teams to do soft-toss work on the outside to warm-up for batting cage practice.

Traditional batting cage net, fully enclosed tunnel. Most common style used on fields and practice facilities.

Batting Cage Sizes
The most popular batting cage size for baseball is 70'L x 14'W x 12'H. The most popular size for softball practice is 55'L x 14'W x 12'H.

We do not recommend ordering a batting cage net any smaller than 12'W, to allow for a full unobstructed swing by adults. Young players can use a more narrow tunnel, but keep in mind they will only grow!

To determine the appropriate width, I recommend putting masking tape on the floor to represent the cage walls, dropping a home-plate in the middle, and doing a full swing revolution. Dropping a string from the ceiling also works really well.

For the height, 7'9" is about the lowest you can go without back-swing obstruction (by a 6 ft tall adult). 12 ft high is the standard height. Just remember the higher you go, the better you can track the flight of the ball and receive instant feedback on your swing. Smaller, shorter tunnels create a feeling of the "tunnel effect" and don't allow for real-game simulation. Plus, smaller tunnels take more of a beating than larger tunnels, because the netting is impacted by balls traveling at higher speed - therefore, the netting life-span is shorter for smaller batting cages. 

Batting Cage Functionality
Batting cage nets can function in many different ways. This completely depends on the hardware used and the method of installation. They can be stationary, sliding, or electric raising to the ceiling.
