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 to 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 and improve safety and function, while also providing the finishing touches for your batting cage. The key accessories for your batting cage include a pitchers L-screen, hitting mat, external hitting stations, pitching machines, baffle net, net protector, and artificial turf.

How do you properly store the net in the off season?

Aluminum poles: Premium Harken Lifting Blocks and halyards.
Steel poles: Winches.

What are the mounting options for barrier netting?

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.

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.
