What to Look for in Batting Cage Netting

What to Look for in Batting Cage Netting
By guest author: Jack M Patterson


Batting cage netting is an essential protective gear that allows players to have a safe practice session. It also allows for easy retrieval of pitched balls that are not batted out because everything will just land within the batting cage, especially if the netting is of good quality. However, it is important that you get batting cage netting that is worth your money and is made of strong materials that will not break even when served the fastest pitches.

Good cage netting has to be made of high-density fibers that have high breaking strengths and abrasion resistance so the net is not going to fray even after frequent re-installations. It has to be constructed to perfectly fit the batting cage frame and other accessories to ensure that once the cage is installed, it will be fit for use and it will not cause injury. When the netting is hung on the top frame, it should not sag because it may affect the player's timing. For this, a net with sag-free elimination is more preferable.

Batting cage netting should have corrosion resistant hardware so installation is easy and convenient. Corroded hardware is rough and that will make it hard for players to install the net over the frame. It will also destroy the smoothness of the net and will cause fraying sooner than warranted.

Good netting should also have UV inhibitors to provide UV stabilization and protection against sun damage and intense heat. It should also have added protection and padding in areas that wear first like the ones that straddle the frames, the corners and the midrib.
