Batting Cage Design and Layout Considerations

There are several important elements that you should consider when you plan your batting cage layout:
1. Make sure to place your support poles wide enough apart to allow a "buffer" zone between your cage wall and the poles. This distance prevents ball from bouncing off the poles and hitting the pitcher or batter.
2. Make sure that the height of your supports allow for some of your cage to be "folded" on the ground. The netting laying on the ground prevents balls from escaping under the net.
3. Make sure that you place your cage in a location that makes the sun friendly during afternoon use. You do not want the sun directly in the batters or pitchers eyes.
Thanks for dropping in. have a great day. Nick
