Commercial Batting Cages

Commercial Batting Cages
By guest author: Jason Gluckman

Batting cages are mostly used by baseball or softball coaches and players for practice. Commercial batting cages have more than one batting cage, a feature that enables more than one team to practice at a time.

Commercial batting cages provide batting practice at hourly and daily rates. Movable and permanent commercial batting cages are available. Both indoor and outdoor commercial batting cages are found. Commercial batting cages do not require a permanent construction.

The netting and frame are both important features of a commercial batting cage. Black steel frame with powder coating is used for frames. This coating helps the poles to resist outdoor elements. Manufacturers adequately test the materials for strength and durability. KVX200tm netting is used in a commercial batting cage. The netting material is lightweight, water resistant, and refuses to shrink, fade, or break down in direct sunlight. Commercial batting cages are used frequently, so durability is a primary factor in construction.

Pitching machines are used in commercial batting cages. The automatic retrieval system is expandable to accommodate up to nine baseball and eight softball machines. A coin- or token-operated pitching machine with a selectable number of pitches may also be used. The flooring in a commercial batting cage is polypropylene. This flooring material is stretchable and attached to the net. Dense foam padding is wrapped around the framing near all impact areas. Each cage operates independently. The cages can be arranged according to the space.

In commercial batting cages, there are trainers to guide the players. A commercial batting cage has all the accessories for softball or baseball. There is no need to bring a bat or ball to the field. The earnings from a commercial batting cage are sufficient for its maintenance. A safety light system is another feature of commercial batting cages. The automatic loading system in commercial batting cages provides automatic loading and eliminates ball jamming to ensure a constant flow of balls to the player.
