Serious hitting practice needs room to swing, and this freestanding batting cage creates a dedicated training lane wherever you have the space. At 40.0 x 12.1 x 10.0 ft, the fully enclosed net gives athletes, trainers and coaches room to work on swing mechanics, pitching accuracy and hitting power while keeping every ball inside the cage. It works for baseball and softball sessions alike, whether you set it up on a backyard lawn, a practice field or inside a gym.Durability is built into every layer. The polyester netting uses a 4-ply reinforced mesh to withstand repeated impacts, and thick 600D nylon edge fabric with reinforced corners helps the net stay intact season after season. Five semi-circular arches made from high-heat cured fiberglass rods, joined with reinforced connectors, keep the structure stable during windy days and intense workouts. To help it last longer, simply avoid leaving it outdoors for long periods and store it carefully after each session.Thoughtful details make training more productive. A large zippered entry at one end and a removable cage door make it easy to step in and out, while the pitching machine opening at the other end allows balls to be delivered from outside the cage. Two people can assemble the cage with the complete set of accessories, and the included storage bag makes it simple to transport the 56.9 lbs setup to indoor or outdoor practice locations, keeping players of all ages ready to improve.
