Batting Cage Size "Basics"

Batting cages nets come in a variety of sizes but they are all rectangles. The net itself must have square corners to save construction time and cost. The sizes of a cage vary with the length, width, and height of the netting.

Be careful about buying cages that are too narrow. These cages do not allow older batters to take a comfortable swing and finish. The greater the width and height of the batting cage, the better sensation a batter has when a ball is hit.

The wider and higher cages allow the batter to read the path of the ball when it comes off the bat. A short and narrow cage tends to “smother” a hitter.

The higher and wider cages are also safer for the coach, player or parent throwing batting practice.

BattingCagesDirect.com sells batting cages of all size and weights. Save money, time, and energy by buying a "ready-to-assemble" batting cage system with net and frame included.
