{"product_id":"jugs-batting-cage-frames","title":"JUGS Batting Cage Frames","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJUGS Batting Cage Frames are galvanized steel outdoor frames for JUGS batting cage nets, built in all nine JUGS cage sizes for baseball and softball cages. Every piece of pipe is industrial-gauge galvanized steel, with 2 inch uprights and cross members that sit in 2 5\/16 inch ground sleeves. The frame is made to carry a JUGS net of the same cage size, and netting is sold separately, so you choose the frame and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/jugs-batting-cage-nets\"\u003eJUGS Batting Cage Net\u003c\/a\u003e as a matched pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNetting is not included with the frame. Order the net separately in the same cage size, and choose the frame option that matches the twine gauge of that net.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMatching the JUGS Frame to Your Net\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo options set up your frame: the cage size and the frame option. The cage size must be the same number as your net. The frame option is labeled with the netting gauges it is built to carry, so read it straight from the gauge of the net you are buying:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#1 Standard (70' x 14' x 12'), #2 Softball (55' x 14' x 12'), #7 Backyard (65' x 11' x 11') and #10 Fastpitch (55' x 12' x 12'): choose Fits #27 and #42 Nets for a #27 or #42 net, or Fits #60 and #96 Nets for a #60 or #96 net.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#3 Slowpitch (55' x 14' x 16'), #8 Backyard Softball (55' x 11' x 11') and #9 Baseball (70' x 12' x 12'): choose Fits #42 Net for a #42 net, or Fits #60 and #96 Nets for a #60 or #96 net. These sizes are not offered in #27 netting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#4 Half (35' x 12' x 12') and #5 Combination (70' x 14' x 16'): one frame option, Fits #42, #60 and #96 Nets, carries any of those three gauges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example, a 55-foot fastpitch cage in #60 netting needs the #10 Fastpitch frame with the Fits #60 and #96 Nets option, plus the #10 Fastpitch net in #60 Polyethylene. If you are still deciding on a gauge, the nets page explains what each one suits, from the light #27 backyard twine to the #96 twine made for hitting facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGalvanized Steel Built for Outdoor Cages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA batting cage frame lives outside all year, through rain, sun and freezing nights, so the material matters as much as the net. Galvanized steel carries a zinc coating that protects the steel underneath from rust, which keeps the frame looking and working right season after season. JUGS uses industrial-gauge galvanized steel for every piece of pipe in the frame, not only the main uprights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frames are designed for long-term outdoor use by teams, schools and serious home players, the kind of cage that stays up all season rather than coming down after each practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGround Sleeves and Uprights for a Stable Cage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2 inch uprights fit into 2 5\/16 inch diameter ground sleeves, which hold the frame steady during high-impact hitting and pitching. A stable frame keeps the net hanging evenly, so the tunnel holds its shape when line drives hit the walls and ceiling. The 2 inch cross members tie the uprights together across the top of the cage and carry the net along its length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the uprights sit in sleeves, plan the site before the frame arrives. Choose level ground with enough room for the full cage length plus clearance around it, and check for buried utilities before digging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping and Lead Time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrames ship by freight and cannot be sent by 1, 2 or 3 day air.
