Our In-Ground FlexCages are designed for fast, easy installation. Their unique design also allows quick disassembly for off-season storage as needed. After the PVC sleeves are set in the ground (using concrete if desired), the frame slips together with no bolts or pins.

No tools needed other than a step-ladder, an Allen wrench for the elbows, and a shovel for the ground holes.

Recommended cage layout required is 2 feet wider (1′ on each side) and 4 feet longer than your net (2′ on each end).

Assembly normally takes 2-3 people about 2 hours, depending on number of frame sections.

Custom sizes available.

Included Components:

  • (2) 13’4″ uprights (allows 2′ to insert into ground, allowing 8″ of net sag and 11’4″ of playable height)
  • (1) 15′ cross-members (provides 6″ buffer on each side of standard 14’W net)
  • (2) 2’D PVC Sleeves (includes Bottom Caps to prevent sinking)
  • (2) Cast-Iron Elbow joints with set-screws to secure sections (Allen wrench needed)

Steel Gauge Options:

  • Galvanized Steel
  • 13-gauge or 10-gauge heavy-duty wall (lower gauges are thicker)
  • Diameter Options: 1-7/8″ or 2-3/8″ O.D. Round Tubing

Available Hardware Kits:

Our Basic and Deluxe Hardware Kits are available separately in order to offer the lowest price for our Batting Cage Frame. Since many customers have the tools needed or prefer to shop locally, the hardware kits are not included with the frame.

However, if you are in need of the hardware, choose between the following options to ensure a successful installation:

The Basic Hardware Kit includes the minimum components needed for connecting the net to the frame.

The Deluxe Hardware and Cable Kit maximizes the playable area by reducing sag from the tunnel, creating a “curtain effect.” The net can be moved to one side of the frame for mowing, BBQs, and any other occasion.

FAQ

How many frame sections will I need for my net?

To maintain the best performance from your net with minimal sag, the standard is to use one frame rib for every 12′-15′ of net, or:

  • 35′ = 3 ribs
  • 55′ = 4 ribs
  • 70′ = 5 ribs

*Overall net size, thread thickness, and material can all greatly impact the most appropriate number of sections needed to maintain optimal performance. i.e. a 35’L cage with #21 twine size will require less stability than a 55’L or 70′ net using #36, #42 or #60 thread.

Any questions? Contact Us.

How tall and wide are the frame sections?

Each frame section/rib measures 15’W x 13’4″H, which works with the most common net size (14’W x 12’H).

Insert 2′ of each upright into the ground for support, which leaves 11’4″ of frame above ground (allowing 8″ of sag on the ground), and also allows for 1’W of extra room on the width (when using a 14’W net).

The adjustable 6″ chains connect to steel snap-hooks to allow for your preferred ground sag (to contain balls and create slack, which reduces tension and extends the net life-span). Easily shorten the chain if desired.

Each rib also includes 2 PVC piping sleeves for ground insertion.

What if my net is shorter, taller, or not as wide as these frames?

  • If your net is shorter than 12′, insert the frame legs an extra couple of feet to accommodate.
  • If your net is taller than 12′, allow the extra net to hang on the ground, which is recommended to reduce tension and ball roll-out.
  • If your net is less than 14′ wide, no problem – the net is hung on the inside of the frame sections, so you will only need to extend the tie-offs from the frame to the net to compensate. This also reduces the opportunity for balls ricocheting off the frame and hitting the batter or pitcher.

Do you offer Custom Frame Design?
