The following is a diagram of a basic cage
installation. In this illustration the cage is supported by
3 pipe and sleeve arrangements on each side of the net. When
designing your cage installation, feel free to use any sort
of supports that you'd like. However, we recommend the pipe
and sleeve arrangement because at the end of the season it
will allow you to take the uprights out of the ground and
roll up the whole cage installation into a nice, neat package
for storage. |

1.
Cage Support Source - the supports for the cage can
be a variety of things. You can use trees, or fence posts
or a combination of such. Pictured above are steel poles that
have a hollowed base, or ground sleeve sunk into the ground.
This is an ideal alternative because the entire system can
be removed at any time by folding up the net, disconnecting
the cables and then lifting the poles out of their ground
sleeves. For batting cages 10' or wider, three cables are
recommended to prevent sagging in the middle of the net.
2. This is the width
measurement of your cage. Your end support sources should
be in line with the ends of the cage, and the center support
should be centered (cages 10' or wider).
3. This is the length
of your cage. Ideally, you should have about 6' of extra
space (3' on each side) on top of the length of your cage.
The minimum distance necessary between your support source
and the cage is 1'.
4. This is the height
of your cage. Your support sources should be equal or
slightly greater than this measurement.
5. Net Attachment Method
- This is how the net will be attached to the cable systems.
In Installation Hardware, you will find a variety of clamps
and snaps. The most common methods of attachment are spring
snaps or zip ties. The A48901 Cable System comes with cable
snaps.
6. A48901 Cable System
(sold individually) - comes complete with aircraft cabling
cut to your length specification, 2 turnbuckles for attachment
at each end, 2 cable clamps to secure the cable and sufficient
cable snaps to install the net. For more information on the
A48901 Cable System please see our Sport
Cage Installation Page. |

Determining
Height of Pipe
(minimum diameter of steel pipe 2 3/8" O.D.)
1. 3" measurement
2. 3/8" Diameter
Hole drilled through pipe.*
3. 3/8" Diameter
Hole drilled through pipe for bolt insert to stop
pipe at top of ground sleeve.*
4. 1 foot measurement
- pole should be sunk 1 foot below the frost line.
5. Minimum measurement
2 1/2 feet.
6. Measurement
equal to the height of your cage.
Overall Pipe Height = 3 inches + cage height
+ 2 1/2 feet + additional 1 foot below frost line
if necessary.
* When purchasing the
pipe, have your supplier drill the two 3/8" holes
for you, usually at no extra charge.
Number of Uprights Required:
1. Two corner poles required for each vertical net
panel (w x h).
2. Four corner poles required for each 10 ft. wide
cage net (10' wide x height x length).
3. Four corner poles plus two center poles required
for each cage 12 feet or wider (12' wide x height
x length)
4. Attached to the center of every 12' or wider cage
is a longitudinal corder the length of the net. This
cord is then attached to the center support cable
to prevent sagging in the middle of the cage, providing
the user with more volume for batting practice.
