{"product_id":"premium-6x4-safety-screen","title":"Premium 6x4 Safety Screen","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Premium 6x4 Safety Screen is a padded front toss screen for baseball. It stands 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide on a 1.5 inch powder coated steel frame with a compression bolt together design, with a UV treated #60 braided net that slips on pillowcase style and one piece UV treated padding around the frame. It is narrow enough to move easily and tall enough to keep a coach covered while tossing to hitters from close range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose from seven pad colors and order it with no wheels, the Standard Wheel Kit or the Pro Wheel Kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade for Front Toss\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront toss puts the coach much closer to the hitter than batting practice does, so a hard hit ball gets back to the screen almost instantly. A safety screen gives the coach a tall wall of net to toss beside and step behind. Its narrow 4 foot width keeps the coach close to the screen and leaves room in the cage for the hitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePadding Protects the Net and the Coach\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClose range work means a lot of balls hit the frame. On a bare steel screen, those balls bounce hard back toward the coach, and the net wears through where it rubs the frame. The one piece padding on the Premium Safety Screen softens those hits and protects the net at its weakest point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSolid Frame and Double Layer Net\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1.5 inch powder coated steel frame bolts together with compression joints that stay tight, and a gusset is welded onto each leg. The UV treated #60 braided net covers both the front and back of the frame, so a ball that stretches through the front layer still has a second layer to get through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWays to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront toss and short toss in the batting cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtecting a coach feeding a pitching machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA second screen during station work so two coaches can feed at once\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtecting a fielder or coach at a base during drills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the Premium 6x4 Safety Screen Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screen is built for high school and travel baseball programs, hitting instructors and training facilities that run front toss every day, and for parents with a backyard cage who want a padded screen in a team color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFront Toss Safety Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToss from beside the screen, then move the tossing hand and your body back behind the net right away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKneel or sit on a bucket to keep more of your body behind the screen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the screen close to you.

The wheel kits bolt to the base so one person can tip the screen back and roll it. The Pro Wheel Kit uses airless tires with steel plate covers, so there is nothing to go flat. The Standard Wheel Kit is the lower cost way to make the screen mobile. If your screen will stay in one cage all season, you can skip wheels and add them later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePick Your Team Color\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe padding comes in seven colors: black, red, green, light blue, blue, dark blue and yellow. Matching screens to school or team colors is a small thing, but it makes a practice field or facility look organized and professional, and it makes it easy to tell which screens belong to which team when several programs share a facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSetup and Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolt the frame together and tighten each joint. Slide the net over the frame from the top and pull it down evenly. Set the screen on level ground in front of you, toss from beside it, and step back behind the net after each toss. Keep a bucket of balls behind the screen so you are never reaching out past the frame. Check the hardware periodically during the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a side by side look at front toss screens, L screens and field screens, read our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/products\/baseball-protective-screens-guide\"\u003eprotective screen buying guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePremium 6x4 Safety Screen Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 6 ft tall x 4 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: safety screen for front toss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: 1.5 inch powder coated steel, compression bolt together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforcement: gusset welded onto each leg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet: UV treated #60 braided net, pillowcase style (double layer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadding: one piece UV treated frame padding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad colors: black, red, green, light blue, blue, dark blue, yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels: optional Standard Wheel Kit or Pro Wheel Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSport: baseball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Premium 6x4 Safety Screen includes the steel frame with hardware, the #60 pillowcase net and the frame padding in your color.
