JUGS Ceiling Batting Cage Net Installation Kit
The JUGS Ceiling Batting Cage Net Installation Kit hangs a JUGS batting cage net on cables so it slides from upper wall to upper wall inside a gym or facility. When baseball or softball practice ends, the net moves out of the way and the floor is clear for basketball, volleyball or physical education classes. The kit includes the cables, snap rings, pulleys and hardware for the sliding system.
A Sliding Batting Cage for Shared Indoor Space
Many schools and facilities only have one gym, and a batting cage that stays up all day takes it away from every other team. The ceiling kit solves that by mounting the net on cables that run from one upper wall to the other. The net hangs from pulleys on those cables, so it can be pulled across to one side when practice is over and pulled back out the next day.
Moving the net instead of taking it down saves the time it takes to unclip, fold and store a full cage net, and it reduces the wear that comes from handling the net every day. It also makes the space safer, because the net is out of the way rather than piled on the floor or left half-hung.
Heavy-Duty Cable and Steel Hardware
The system uses heavy-duty aircraft cable and steel components, chosen to carry the weight of a full batting cage net and the pull of moving it across the gym. Aircraft cable is a stranded steel cable made to resist stretching under load, which keeps the net hanging level along its run.
Works With Every JUGS Net
The ceiling kit is designed to work with any JUGS netting system, including every size and gauge of the JUGS Batting Cage Nets. The net is sold separately.
Which JUGS Installation Kit Do You Need?
JUGS makes three installation kits, each for a different setting:
- Indoor Installation Kit: for hanging a JUGS net inside a building without a frame. It supplies the cables, turnbuckles, clamps, eye bolts and snap rings to suspend the net from the structure. See the JUGS Indoor Batting Cage Net Installation Kit.
- Ceiling Installation Kit: for indoor spaces such as school gyms where the cage has to clear out for other activities. Pulleys on cables running upper wall to upper wall let the net slide out of the way after practice.
- Outdoor Installation Kit: an optional add-on for a JUGS cage installed outdoors on a frame. It lets you slide the net to one end of the frame when the cage is not in use. See the JUGS Outdoor Batting Cage Net Installation Kit.
If the cage will stay up full time in a dedicated indoor space, the indoor kit is the simpler choice. If the space is shared and the net has to move every day, the ceiling kit is built for that.
Who the JUGS Ceiling Installation Kit Is For
- High schools and middle schools that share one gym between baseball, softball, basketball and volleyball.
- Colleges and training facilities that need an indoor baseball or softball cage they can clear quickly.
- Recreation centers and multi-sport facilities with scheduled floor time for different activities.
