The Thumper Batting Cage

The Thumper Batting Cage package is a fantastic cage, offering you the most bang for your buck. Replacing our now discontinued "Commercial Batting Cage," the Thumper features sturdier 2" poles compared to the Commercial's 1-5/8" poles, making it much stronger. With #36 HDPE netting, one of our most robust options, it is an excellent choice for a high-end backyard cage and will also hold up in a commercial setting. The HDPE netting provides ultimate UV protection and doesn't absorb water, so you won't have to worry about it shrinking or rotting. Additionally, it includes an integrated door for easy access. What's Included #36 HDPE batting cage net with integrated door Frame kit w/ poles Standard L-screen  5’ x 7’ net backdrop Ground sleeves End caps Hang 50 Kit Baseball cap #36 HDPE Batting Cage Net Our HDPE #36 net is among the best batting cage nets. Excellent choice for a high-end backyard net, but also perfectly suitable for commercial applications! We have sold thousands of these cages to colleges, professional baseball teams, and municipalities. 5x7 Net Backdrop Extend the life of your batting cage with our heavy-duty netting backdrop. This panel is 5' wide x 7' tall and is designed to take the repeated impact from pitching machines. 2" O.D. Powder Coated Galvanized Steel Poles Our Thumper Batting Cage frames are constructed with 2" outside diameter galvanized powder-coated steel tubing. If your batting cage frame will be exposed to the wind, you will need at least 2" outer diameter tubing. Our black powder coating holds up very well to intense sun or rain and will look great for years. 7x7 Standard L-Screen Our standard L-Screen has been around for many years. Featuring heavy-duty 1.5″ O.D. steel tubing with locking snap-pin construction, it is easy to assemble and store in the off-season. The non-reflective black powder-coated finish looks fantastic and protects against the elements. Installation The size of the footprint is different from the net size. This cage's frame is larger than the net size to give some space between the net and poles. If you choose a net size of 12ft wide, your ground sleeves will be placed at 14ft 9in wide. If you select a net size of 14ft wide, you will place them at 16ft wide. For the length, add 2ft to the net size. Example: A 12ft W x 55ft L net size will have a 14ft 9in W x 57ft L total footprint.  Concrete or Concrete-Free Ground Sleeves The ground sleeves are necessary if you plan to take your frame down during the off-season. Ground sleeves significantly add to the stability of your batting cage frame. This package has the option of concrete ground sleeves or concrete-free ground sleeves. Assembly requires 3-4 people.
