Skywalker Sports40 Foot Competitive Batting Cages for Backyard or Indoor Baseball and Softball Collapsible Black Frame and Net

The batting gage is made of good quality. It was easily assembled and it is easy to move to cut the grass. The design is great and very durable. It has survived a hurricane and a snow storm so far.

Easy assembly with my son. We installed this on slight grade, in pretty windy area and I was pretty sure it would immediately fail but no issues so far. I'm pretty sure were gusting at 40mph yesterday. I spread metal legs a bit wider than I think is standard due to slight grade. I think wind failures I've read about could be from maybe overtightening of nuts and bolts and deforming Steel tubes? This is the shortest unit i would buy as far as length, it is just right for practice without being massive. I was able to use carabiners to roll up and hold net for mowing under. Seems like great value option if you don't want support guide wires and don't want to put down concrete foundation points. I bought some vinyl coated steel lines im going to use to help protect against wind collapse, making some triangles and anchoring i to Ground with screw style ground anchors... although after surviving that storm maybe I don't need to do all that... Do not install this the way I did, I am sure it is not intended or supported by manufacturer. I just want to give people an idea of what this thing seems to be able to tolerate. I've only had it up a bit over a week but really happy with it so far, I didn't get to put in my added tension cable system and it still survived a storm. Seems like best value by far after my research. Ill update this in a bit to see if this can keep lasting through storms while installed at a slant. :) note that there is enough play in the cross pole beam hook ins that this does not have to be on perfectly flat ground. There is some sag to these cross members, but they get the job done. Nets seem to droop more than in pics but thats fine, and you cohld pull them up with bunnies or other vector wraps or whatever if you want. This system is transportable, but takes 2 people and some time, but no additional screwing of nuts and bolts. Great for us as we try to figure out best place for this. I kinda wish they made an extender kit for this with one more section. Not needed, but would be nice.

Extremely happy with this batting cage! Built it with my 9 year old over the course of a couple days. The structural integrity is excellent, and the netting is holding up well after a few weeks of use. Instructions were also top notch (written by a native English speaker). I recommend buying a handful of extra bungle cables to add tension to create a larger pocket for the batter (to avoid hitting the net with their bat, which is the only thing that’s caused a rip so far). Lastly, disassembly is a little less simple than the video portrays, but just takes some practice. I’ve personally decided to take the net off each time I disassemble, because otherwise it becomes very unwieldy to move the 4 frame pieces around without them falling over on you (once the crossbeam supports have been removed, and the stakes pulled up from the ground, the netting easily tips the whole thing over like dominos).

So far this cage is working great. We had made some minor modifications to improve the top of the cage from sagging. All in all happy with purchase.Like the ability to move the he cage if needed.

Product arrived in 4 boxes. No damage and all of the parts were there. The instructions were easy to read and the cage went together with out a problem. It seems sturdy.

The media could not be loaded. So far so good. As a couple reviews mentioned, the quality of the net is less than ideal. I bought a different net and hang it using wires (as a reviewer advised) and carabiners with pulleys and it works perfectly. Put it together by myself in about 5 hours so plan accordingly.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve coached Pony, USSSA, and High School Ball. My 12 year old kept asking for a batting cage and I was ready to build one. I priced it out and I was about $700 in parts and net. My concern was it being stationary and it would impede my family from enjoying our back yard. After researching all cage makers, I decided to go with Skywalker Cages due to the fact that it can be broken down and put away, without removing the net. Assembly was easy and you will need a helper; my two boys assisted. My recommendation is to open all the boxes and organize all the parts. The instructions are on point and therefore we did not feel overwhelmed. Took us about 2 plus hours as we took our time and enjoyed the process. For the price, this is a great batting cage. Recommended; use the stakes to keep the net in place, buy a L-Screen and home plate and you are ready to go. I have uploaded video for reference. If you have questions, post them and I will answer. I rarely post ratings but Skywalker products has put out a great product. Thank you.

Easy to put together. Very strong. Just what our 11 year old wanted for baseball practice
