Quality Baseball Batting Cages Help Prevent Injury and Property Damage

Keeping Balls Inside Baseball batting cages are designed to catch fastballs and prevent them from getting out. These enclosures rely on the flexibility and tensile strength of nets made from polyethylene. Individual polyethylene strands are twined and knotted to keep something—or, worse, someone—from getting hit while batting practice is underway. The nets are also treated with weather protectants to maintain their integrity during the worst conditions. Batting cages come in several sizes. If you want to recreate regulation conditions during batting practice, get a cage that's 60 feet long. Such a cage is six inches short of Major League standards, but that’s about as close as you can get. Width and height are normally fixed at 12 and 10 feet, respectively. In any case, metal fixtures keep the entire cage stable during windy days.
