It is a true 4 foot by 7 foot net with no dip or sag at the top, held up by 1 inch fiberglass poles on a 1.5 inch powder coated steel base. It packs into a heavy duty travel bag, so it goes wherever your team practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSets Up in About 90 Seconds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteel screens are strong, but they are heavy and they do not fit in a car. The Portable Safety Screen is built for teams that practice in different places every week. Assemble the base, insert the fiberglass poles, stretch the net into place and you are ready, in about a minute and a half. Breaking it down takes about the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStays Up and Stays Tight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortable screens are known for sagging at the top and blowing over in the wind. This one is different. The bottom of the frame is 1.5 inch powder coated steel tubing with welded gussets on the legs, which gives it a heavy, stable base that nothing short of high winds will move. Ground stakes are included for windy fields. The 1 inch fiberglass poles hold the net tight across the full 4 by 7 foot opening, with no dip at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandles Hard Contact\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe net is rated to withstand exit velocities up to 100 mph, and the screen stays standing when heavy balls are hit into it. That makes it suitable for front toss and short toss with older hitters, not just youth practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWays to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront toss and short toss at practice or before games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravel ball tournaments and away fields\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA backyard batting cage that needs a screen you can put away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtecting a coach feeding a pitching machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor practices in gyms where a steel screen will not fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the Portable Safety Screen Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is built for travel baseball teams, coaches who move between fields, parents who want a screen in the backyard that packs away, and any team that needs a second screen without adding another heavy steel frame to the shed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePortable Screen vs Steel Screen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA full steel screen with padding is the best choice for a field or facility where the screen stays put. A portable screen trades some of that weight for convenience: it is easy to carry, sets up fast and fits in a vehicle. Many teams keep a steel screen at home and a portable screen in the equipment bag.

Hauling a steel screen to every one of those places is not realistic. The Portable Safety Screen packs into its bag and rides in the trunk with the rest of the team gear, so the coach throwing front toss is protected at every practice, not just the home field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCaring for Your Portable Screen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet the net dry before packing it away after a wet practice. Check the fiberglass poles for cracks and the net for holes before each season, and repair small holes right away. Keep all of the parts together in the travel bag so nothing goes missing between fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSetup and Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssemble the steel base, insert the fiberglass poles and attach the net, then pull it tight across the frame. On grass, push the included ground stakes through the base to hold it in place.
