Net is hung on a square, which absorbs the impact of the balls over several meshes with no high spots to accelerate wear. UV & Weather protection is embedded during extrusion , Not a cheap coating that will flake off in a couple of years. Life expectancy is 6 to 8 years. We believe this is the best batting cage for the dollar value on the market today.
We are a family business started by my grandfather over 50 years ago. We intend on being in business for another 50 years. We only sell quality, well-made products. Polyethylene: Our Polyethylene nets, the UV inhibitors are inside the Polymeric blend that gets extruded into the individual fibers. These fibers are twisted or braided into twine. Since the UV inhibitor is built into the fibers, it can't wear off. Polyethylene doesn't absorb water, doesn't rot, and loses very little strength year to year. Their Nylon nets are coated with a UV inhibitor which tends to wear off in a year or two. Nylon absorbs water, encouraging mold, mildew, and rotting. Typically a new nylon net used outside in direct sun will lose 15% to 20% of its tensile strength each year. What Twine size do I need? A #42 Twine net is about twice as thick and twice as strong as a #21 Twine. The larger twined, heavier cages will snag balls better, look better, wear better, last longer, and you will be happier with them. You need a minimum of 60 lbs.#18 Twine is a Light Duty Net, 100 lbs. Generally considered the minimum necessary for a home use batting cage, with light use it could last 2 - 3 years. #21 Twine is a Pretty Good Net, 125 lbs. With moderate use could last 3 - 4 years. #24 Twine is a Very Good Net, 148 lbs.
Can be used for Light commercial or Middle School, should last 4 - 6 years. #36 Twine is a Heavy Duty Net, 190 lbs. Of tensile strength, considered commercial Quality estimated 6 - 8 year lifespan. #42 Twine is a Very Heavy Duty Net, 220 lbs. Of tensile strength, many pro teams will use this for their cages, good for commercial batting cages. Should last 8 - 10 years.Why do I see such varying tensile strengths for the same size HDPE twine? Some manufacturers tend to exaggerate the strength of their twine, or maybe they are just distributors and don't really know the actual strength.
For a #42 HDPE twine size, it will vary a little from different manufacturers, but the tensile strength will all be in the low 200s. I have tested #42 HDPE twine from manufacturers samples that is supposed to be over 300 lb. Of load on it, and it breaks. So you cannot believe everything you read.
What is the difference between square hung & diamond hung mesh? To put it simply, Square Mesh is better. It is a process where the machine tightly weaves a cord around the rope and the net to provide the strongest possible bond between the two.
Some manufacturers will just weave the rope in and out of the netting panels which can result in the rope pulling away from or out of the panels. 70'Length x 12'Width x 12'Height.
