FRAMES
Only heavy-wall galvanized steel stands up to it all. Designed around schedule 40 galvanized poles (see comparison image above). They’re made from large diameter galvanized steel pipe, not the typical thin walled tubing used with other batting cages. Available single- or double-wide.
NETS
Our heavy-duty nets are tough, too. Designed in-house and made in the USA. They all feature heavy-duty end panels, vinyl reinforced joints, grommeted hanging points in top section (perimeter and center), two large over-flap doorways and fully grommeted bottom edge for staking. Optional lead rope can be sewn into bottom hem. Prefabricated, steel cables support our premium nets and speed installation.

FAQ
Can you create custom‑size batting cages?
Yes, we can create custom‑size batting cages. Please reach out to us with all the cage details and we’ll be happy to assist. You may also use our Batting Cage Project Inquiry form to submit the details of your custom batting cage.
What is the required footprint and how many poles come with each batting cage?
It depends upon the size and model. Below is a summary of our batting cages:

What are the foundation requirements for a batting cage?
Foundation requirements can vary. That variance is typically based on factors such as budget, space and location.
The two most popular options are concrete or a crushed aggregate‑type material. However, if these options do not fit your plans or specifications, natural grass can be considered as an alternative, though natural grass is NOT recommended.
After the main foundation has been determined, polypropylene urethane artificial turf would be the best option to cover the main foundation. Artificial turf will give you extra protection for your equipment, as well as give you a more professional look & feel.
Do I need a subsurface, like artificial turf?
Artificial turf is HIGHLY recommended for any batting cage, outdoor or indoor. With outdoor cages, you’ll want to be sure to avoid using turf with “foam backing.” As moisture seeps into foam‑backed turf, the foam will likely rot or deteriorate over time.
The best turf option for outdoor applications is 24oz to 40oz polypropylene urethane backing artificial turf.
What accessories are recommended for batting cages?
Accessories for batting cages improve safety and function, while also providing the finishing touches for your batting cage. The key accessories for your batting cage include a pitcher’s L‑screen, hitting mat, external hitting stations, pitching machines, baffle net, net protector, and artificial turf. We recommend browsing all of our batting cage accessories to improve safety and functionality.
How do you properly store the net in the off season?
The best way to store batting cage netting in the offseason is in a temperature‑controlled area, like a storage room, secured within a plastic bin so the net does not become damp.
What are the mounting options for barrier netting?
Aluminum poles: Premium Harken Lifting Blocks and halyards. Steel poles: Winches.
Is there a door flap for easy entry & exit?
Yes, all Beacon batting cages have at least one door flap for fast, safe entry and exit.
How are batting cages shipped and what’s needed to unload?
Poles ship via freight. You will need a forklift and the capacity to take a 12’, 14’, or 16’ pallet off the truck.
Hardware and netting: Products are palletized and ship freight through a common carrier from various locations. You may need a forklift to offload depending on the size of your batting cage.
Please note: Shipping methods may vary depending on the size of the order.
