This is the original kit concept for backyard batting cages, now marketed under the WheelHouse brand. And in our view it's still the best value. The 3/4" tubing required here is lighter weight and considerably less expensive than the 1-3/8" required by other kits. That makes assembly easier, yet still gives you the structural stability you want. Evey baseball family's backyard needs one; a great asset for schools and youth leagues, too. - Richard Todd, WebBall
Make sure every hit is in your Wheelhouse
A full-size WheelHouse batting cage can handle balls flying at 120 mph, yet it requires no special ground preparation, no permanent anchors*, and it can be up and taking the hits in under half an hour. Ideal for schools, youth leagues and family backyards.
Each WheelHouse batting cage comes in kit form, with hardware connectors and #21 netting, rated at 200 lb. breaking strength per strand or 800 lb. per mesh.
All connectors are steel and the angled joints are welded. When assembled it will be 10' wide at the top, 14' at the base, and from 40 to 70' long.

The poles would result in very high shipping costs. Though cheap to buy from your local building products retailer, shipping the 10 foot long poles would be over $200 more. What you need to buy is 3/4-inch EMT (electrical metallic tubing, made of galvanized steel, used as wiring conduit - store staff will know what you mean). You can wait until the cage kit arrives or pick them up now. Approximate costs shown are based on manufacturer's pricing research.
* While anchors are not usually required, in high-wind/exposed installations you might want to add tent pegs and rope to your shopping list to tie down the corner poles (not the netting) at ground level. This will keep the cage from drifting in heavy winds.
