Batting Cages Tips from BaseballTips.com

Any player fortunate enough to have a backyard batting cage and pitching machine is at a distinct advantage over any player who doesn't... It's that simple!
This great idea seems to cross every parent's mind .until reality sets in! The problem, in many cases, seems to be the amount of permanent space that it takes up . and the costs to build one!

Until recently, this was your only choice. We have now teamed up with some very creative baseball "garage engineers" to offer you portable batting cages!

They range in size from 50 ft to 70 ft long, are high and wide enough, AND they actually can be moved around lawn mowers and stored during the offseason! PLUS.They range in price from $670 to $1,120!

So what's the catch? The catch is simply that portable cage kits are lighter weight and include everything but the steel cage legs.

Lighter weight? Think about how permanent batting cages are built and you'll see where I'm going.

Permanent batting cages generally are built with 1 1/2 inch diameter steel tubing. Over the course of 50 ft to 70 ft long cages, this is hundreds of pounds of steel. Steel sleeves are first cemented into holes that you dig and cement in, every 14-15 feet around the cage perimeter. After the cement has dried, you come back and build "the erector set". then you hang the net. Now you have one great and very permanent batting cage. Cost is $1200-$2000 depending on size, quality and what you might have done on the cheap or made by yourself.

Portable cages are made from 3/4 inch steel and lighter weight netting. This makes it, quite literally, lighter weight but not too light to be impractical.

Steel Cage Legs? Instead of our shipping you 10 ft. long, 1 1/2 inch diameter steel legs (which are cheap and very heavy), we are going to send you to any local hardware or building supply store like Home Depot or Lowe's. Here you will purchase inexpensive 10 ft lengths of 3/4 inch EMT conduit tubing. This becomes a huge savings on shipping alone!

So, imagine a player simply walking out to his backyard, grabbing his bat and swinging until dark....Hundreds more swings than he could possibly ever get otherwise, and thousands more swings than the rest of his teammates.

Then imagine you could get this done for a reasonable amount of money while retaining the use of your backyard.

That's the concept behind our portable cage kits.
