Choosing a Net Weight
Batting cage nets are labeled with a number for the weight of the knotted cord. A #36 net is a mid-weight net for backyards, teams and pitching machines at moderate speeds. A #45 net is heavier and lasts longer under hard contact from older hitters and high speed machines. Choose the lightest net that will hold up to how often and how hard your hitters use the cage.
Hanging the Net
- On a frame: hang the net on a frame of the same size and attach it at every corner and along the top rails.
- On cables: use the Batting Cage Cable Kit to hang the net from beams, walls or posts.
- Let the bottom of the net rest on the ground so balls do not roll out.
Finishing the Cage
Add a Batting Cage Door for easy entry, a 4x6 Canvas Batting Cage Backdrop behind the hitter to protect the net, and Batting Cage Ground Stakes to anchor an outdoor frame. Close small holes as they appear with the Batting Cage and Screen Net Repair Kit.
Measuring for a Net
Measure the inside of your frame or the distance between your cable anchors before ordering. The net should match the frame size so it hangs tight without stretching, with a little extra at the bottom resting on the ground.
Making It Last
Keep the net pulled tight so it does not rub on the frame, clear leaves and debris from the bottom edge, and take the net down and store it dry in regions with heavy snow or long off seasons.
Need a Lighter Net?
For backyards and moderate use, the #36 Standard Batting Cage Net is the lighter, lower cost option.
