Here’s Basic Information You’ll Want To Know
Our Basic Pro Style Batting Cage Frames Are Not Basic At All!They are built from heavy enough 16 gauge US Steel made by world famous Allied Steel Company, right in the USA. There is a quality difference in the steel that’s made here which allows for a lighter weight of steel tubing that will do the job of some heavier but poorly made foreign products.
Note: We recommend 4 ribs for a 55 ft batting cage (more ribs, less sag) & 5 ribs for a 70 ft batting cage!
Each Frame Section (aka rib) Includes:
2 30” long galvanized steel ground sleeves
2 legs (the uprights)
2 corner elbows
1 horizontal cross bar & 3 eyebolts
All required nuts & bolts
Instruction Summary: (complete instructions are included)
Each ground sleeve is placed into holes and then concreted into place.
After the concrete hardens, you simply build the batting cage like an erector set and then hang your net.
For each cage "rib" or section you will need 2 ground sleeves.
The final size of your installed cage will be 12 feet high as 2 feet of the cage sides are actually sunk into the ground (in the sleeves) for permanent stability.
Permanent Batting Cage Frames Are Not All Created Equal
This popular series uses 1 3/4" galvanized steel tubing. Any less and it tends to bend and move over time. Heavier materials can waste your money and are strictly for commercial year round uses (call us or check out our more expensive batting cage frames if that's what you need). The pieces swedge (fit) together or bolt together.
55 Ft or 70 Ft?
The 55 foot cage has 4 ribs, the 70 footer is a 5 rib system.
Our cage frames include everything you will need to install a batting cage net and start hitting. They are shipped right to your door thought there is some savings if you ship to a business or school address.
A Note About Batting Cage Length
Unless you are pitching, I don’t see length as being critical, no matter what age or level of play or the pitching distances your layers will face. The real difference-maker is will they get in there and have fun swinging and swinging correctly! That’s the secret to getting better faster

A Basic Batting Cage Frame But Good For Backyard or Teams On A Budget
A simple rib system, when sunk in ground to the 30” depths of its included ground sleeves… will perform for many seasons without fail. 4 ribs covers our 55 ft cages and 5 ribs prevents sagging in our 70 ft models.
All you need to add is:
A Standard Batting Cage Net – (55 or 70 ft length & 12 or 14 ft width)
Our Cable Kit - (the cables, clamps and turnbuckles) to hang your net easiest
… and you are done.
Anything else you add is strictly an option of your choosing.
