Batting cages are the answer to improving your hitting. So, what is the optimal length for an installed cage in your backyard? Typically, they come in a variety of lengths from 24 feet to 72 feet. The height and width are both 12 feet. The frame is constructed of steel and fiberglass to withstand strong winds and the weight of the net. On top of this is foam padding for extra protection. Over the cage frame hangs either the nylon or polyethylene netting.
Depending upon what size you think is appropriate for your needs the cost can be from around $200-$800. These cages can be used with any pitching machine but it is not a requirement. With a couple of people working this can be set up in less than an hour, no need to have it up at all times. In fact, taking the cage down during the off months could extend the life of the batting cage.
