How Our Batting Cage Nets And Netting Can Help You

A high quality net looks the same as a poor quality net...when it is delivered. The true quality of a net as it gets used and begins to wear. All netting wears from use by abrasion from the ball. (Mainly, behind the hitters, sometimes down the “3rd baseline” and even above the hitters heads). High sun areas do suffer premature wear…more-so with cheaper product. And, as hard as it is to imagine...winter wind is extremely abrasive (always consider taking your net down during any down-season).

Consider the heaviest net you can budget no matter the age of the players...a batting cage net is only as good as its weakest link and some cheap batting cages may fail in as little as one season!

Let me say this first...

You don’t want to buy this stuff twice!

Our selection is complete from the choices in softball batting cage sizes to all the most common weight and tensile strength of netting.

We feel strongly that it is important to give you knowledge and to offer you choices!

Choices of batting tunnels and complete batting cage frames and matching netting...all the variety you could want.

Knowledge both online & by phone...Toll Free 800 – 487 – 7432.

Our prices are on the low to lowest side and our products are graded and clearly marked; the higher the number (example - #36 is heavier than #21), the heavier the net and the more seasons it should last you.

Our Recommendation On Nets and Netting:

Purchase the heaviest net your budget will allow
When budgeting...consider that a shorter cage with a heavier net is generally superior to a longer cage with a lighter weight cage net. The length of your batting cage will not dictate a batting average improvement...but if the net fails prematurely and players cannot hit...you basically have no batting cage until you replace it...which is why I say...you don’t want to buy this stuff twice!

BTW: shorter cages makes your hitters have to be quicker...and that’s not so bad.

Polyethelene (Poly) Nets and Netting

Poly Nets are actually a plastic that is melted and then extruded into strands. Those strands are then twisted, braided and or knotted into many uses including netting for many industries from sporting uses like volleyball, tennis, golf...plus baseball and softball of course...to uses in the fishing industry. Because it starts being formed as a liquid, it is easy to add color (black in most cases) as well as UV protection material...so each strand always stays black without fading AND the UV protection really lasts...giving you many seasons of use!

Being that it is a plastic, it will not absorb water or add unwanted weight to your cage frame.

It also weighs less than Nylon and may last longer in areas of real temperature swings and of course, in rainy parts of the country!

The downside of Poly is that it is a bit stiff and is not as easy to repair as nylon.

Reason Summary for Purchasing a Poly Batting Cage Net

Best Price...for a very good material

Water Resistant...won't stress frames with absorbed water
Keeps its color...will not fade
Best UV Protection...it's built in, not added on
Stable Material...best for areas where temperatures change dramatically

Nylon Nets and Netting

Nylon is certainly stronger...and more expensive than Polyethelene (also known as Poly).

Net strength is measured as tensile strength. Tensile strength is the measure of 1 single strand of material that is stretched vertically and then measured digitally to the point that the strand snaps.

So, for example, if you are considering purchasing one of our #36 heavier duty nets, one single strand of this material will break when 320 lbs of resistance is applied to it....as opposed to our standard #21 net which will break when 220 lbs of resistance is applied.

How does this affect you? The heavier the net, the more useful years you may get from your batting cage (and this will vary by amount of use, climate and whether you take your net during an off season...especially you live in a colder northern climate.

Reason Summary for Purchasing a Nylon Batting Cage Net

Longest Lasting...more money - for pro quality!
Strongest Material...lasts longest
Easiest to Hang
Softer to Touch
Good UV Protection (if properly treated)
