Plenty of Room The 10' X 12' X 50' batting cage and frame has plenty of room inside for your pitching machine. At the same time, it is small enough for most yards to fit with room to spare. Practice Makes Perfect! Get out there every day and get in those at-bats and pitches! Every little bit helps, and with the accessibility to practice you get with your own batting cage you have the opportunity to improve faster than the competition. Hanging Loose When hanging your batting cage make sure it hangs below the upper supports, as pictured, and has slack at the bottom. This allows the batting cage to properly absorb impacts and last longer! Batter Up! This batting cage has been up for three years running, during the spring and summer, and thanks in part to the vinyl backstop (sold separately), it is still holding up phenomenally.

(I) Ground Socket Auger (J) Ground Socket Installation Tool (K) Yellow Socket Plugs 12 pcs. (L) Pulleys 18 pcs. (M) Carabiners 36 pcs. Kit Does NOT Include the Following Parts: (CL) 10' 6" Length Top Rail Pipe 28 pcs NOT INCLUDED, Batting Cage, Vinyl Backstop, Pitching Machine and L-Screen (Pictured); Only Includes EZ Up & Down Kit Our reasoning for not including the 10' 6" Top Rail Pipe is that they are very expensive to ship. We could cut them down, and include connector fittings, but that would weaken your EZ Up & Down Batting Cage Frame compared to the current design with the 10' 6" Top Rail Pipe, and it would be more work to assemble. This way we can get you the best product in the most economical way possible. Frame Kit Instructions: Your four corner Ground Sockets center to center will be 51' 6" x 13' Lay this out with stakes, string, and a tape measure. Measure across both diagonals to make sure they measure the same so that everything is square. The diagonals should be about 53’ 3” across. Use the Auger bit to drill the four corner holes. Don't push down too hard on the bit or it will not be able to remove the excess dirt as you go. Let it dig. It works very well. Let it drill down a bit then back it out allowing the bit to clear the hole of excess dirt. Repeat until the hole is deep enough. You will have a 12" deep hole in a minute or two. If you run into rocks or roots you can also use a 6' long bar to make the pilot holes. Take one of the Short Net Hangers and wrap it around each Ground Socket and back through itself. Install the corner Ground Sockets using the Installation Tool and a rubber mallet. The top of the Ground Socket should be flush with the ground. Now use the Auger Bit and the same process to install the Ground Sockets evenly spaced at 10' 3", 20' 6", 30' 9", and 41'. Install the four pcs. of Three-Way Fittings, and the eight pcs. Four-Way Fittings onto 12 of the 10’ 6” pipes. One fitting per pole. Make sure to loosen the eyebolts on the fittings so that you wont have to later. Put the 12 pcs. Top Rail Pipe with the fittings into the Ground Sockets. The pipes with the Three-Way Fittings will be on the corners. Assemble 30" Pipe Extensions (C) to six of the 10' 6" length poles by drilling a small hole, then inserting Self Drilling Screws (E).These will serve as the center sections of the frame connecting the two long sides of the frame. Using a ladder install the center sections from step seven into the fittings. Once installed tighten the eyebolts in the center. Using a ladder install the remaining 10 pipe into the fittings on the long side of the frame. The pipe should come together inside the Four-Way Fittings. Use a level to adjust the vertical poles as needed to make them level. Then tighten the rest of the eyebolts, and get ready to hang your net.

How to Hang Your Batting Cage Net Lay your batting cage inside the frame. If your cage has a door now would be the time to find it and make sure it is on the end of the frame you want. Then attach a Carabiner Clip to each of the Pulleys, and lay out each of the Long Net Hangers so they are easy to access.Using a ladder attach a Pulley with a Carabiner to each of the center top eyebolts of the Four-Way Fittings. Now attach a Pulley to the top outside eyebolt on each of the Three-Way Fittings. These are to hang the net from.Attach the remaining Pulleys to the center lower eyebolt on the Three-Way Corner Fittings, and one on the four-way that is on the third pole from the end. These are to lift the bottom of the net for easy mowing.Now lay a long net hanger at each of the leg/upright poles.Starting at a corner pole, wrap the end of a net hanger without the knot through the top border of the net at the corner of the batting cage (Thicker rope at the top of the net) and back through itself. This is similar to a prusik knot. It is important that the end you pull through is the end without the knot as this will be going through a pulley in the next step.Run the end of the net hanger you just pulled through itself through the top pulley of the three-way corner fitting and attach a carabiner clip. Pull the carabiner you just attached down until you can attach it to the small net hanger that is attached to the ground socket for that leg/upright pole.Now working your way down one side of the frame repeat steps 5 and 6 for the remaining long net hangers for the top border of the net on each pole, repeat for the other side of the net.Using the remaining Short Net Hangers attach the center of the net to the center poles inside the frame.Now attach all the lead three foot ropes (the one coming off each corner of the net) top rope, center rope, and bottom ropes of the net to their respective corners and centers. NOTE: Do Not Over Tighten. The net should be loose to allow for absorption of the ball impact.To raise up for easy mowing untie the bottom rope corners and simply pull the Hangers attached to the bottom of the net down until you can attach them to the Net Hangers on the Ground Sockets.
