How wide was that cage?

I don’t understand what keeps the freestanding section (the end that will not be under the lean-to) from being pulled in by the cable tension and the weight of the net. Have you had to reinforce that structure since you first built it?

nice work! Not a criticism. But, for those that aren't as handy, this design is overcomplicated for a batting cage. cool! Just not a minimum requirement. Wood runners along the top and cable aren't necessary. 4x4 post, securely anchored will easily support the weight of even the heaviest gauge net. Sag can be managed by pulling the netting tight enough not to droop too much but also absorb ball energy. Or, a cable connecting parallel poles to manage sag, if necessary. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Barry, thanks for the advise. I am planning to build one next spring for cricket 🏏, I will use yours advise.

Definitely great advice, Barry. This design is meant to eventually hold an overhang which will cover part of the cage. I explain this in my blog post, but should have explained it better in this video. Thanks again for taking the time to leave constructive feedback. I really appreciate it!

I was thinking the same but instead 4x6x16 posts 2 on each side nicely grounded (3ft deep) with cement to ground then cable and netting.

Why not just cement the wood in the concrete instead of using the base

@PahjoDesigns 3 жыл бұрын

I knew I may need to move the wood posts in the future, so I wanted to do something to make it easier to move. Plus, I couldn’t find 16’ posts at the time I built the cage as it was during the pandemic. Thanks for watching!
