Batting Tunnel Nets & Cage Frames

Batting Tunnel Frames: Choosing Length and Mounting Style

Jaypro's batting tunnel frame line is the backbone of this collection, offered in 55 ft. and 70 ft. lengths across Single, Mega Outdoor, and Professional Outdoor series. A 55 ft. tunnel fits most backyard, church-league, or side-field installations, while a 70 ft. run gives travel programs and college practice facilities extra room for pitching-machine work at game-speed distances. Mounting options matter as much as length: choose Surface Mounted or Semi-Permanent outdoor frames for a field or lot, or step up to a Stackable Tunnel Kit or Multiple Tunnel Adaptor (available on both 55 ft. and 70 ft. Mega and Professional frames) when you're running side-by-side stations for team practice. Ground Sleeves and a Sandbag Anchor Tube are sold separately for anchoring outdoor frames without permanent concrete footings.

Indoor Installations: Ceiling and Wall Mounting Kits

For gyms and field houses, Jaypro offers a full set of indoor mounting hardware rather than a ground-set frame. The Wall Mounting Kit for Gymnasium Installations anchors a tunnel directly to a gym wall, while Ceiling Mounting Kits are available in Parallel and Perpendicular configurations — including versions spanning 8 ft. on-center or less and 8 ft. to 12 ft. on-center — to match different joist and truss spacing. If you'd rather not drill into the ceiling structure, the Cable Supported Tunnel Kit and Cable Suspended Tunnel Kit hang the frame from overhead cabling, which is a common approach in shared-use gymnasiums where a fixed frame isn't practical.

Batting Cage Systems and Replacement Parts

The Jaypro Big League Series Bomber All-Star cage is the complete packaged system in this collection, and it's supported by a full replacement-parts line: Replacement Pipes (sold in a set of six), a Thud Replacement Pad, a Replacement Vinyl Skirt, and a dedicated Replacement Net sized to the Bomber All-Star/Elite/Pro frame in #42 weather-treated nylon mesh. This means a cage that's a few seasons old doesn't have to be replaced outright — the frame, skirt, pad, and net can each be swapped individually as they wear. Bownet rounds out the cage side with the portable Big Mouth® 2, the Pitch Thru Pro (net only) for front-toss and pitching work, and the Hit Kit for compact practice setups, plus Replacement BOW™ Poles sold by select size for their softball and baseball nets.

Netting Materials: Twisted Nylon, Weather-Treated Mesh & Practice Screens

Netting choice depends on how the tunnel or cage will be used. Douglas® #18 Twisted Knotted Nylon Netting in a 1″ square mesh is a heavier-gauge option suited to high-use tunnels that see constant line drives and foul tips. Jaypro's own replacement options include the #42 weather-treated nylon mesh net built for the Big League Bomber cages, plus a dedicated Line Drive Batting Cage Replacement Net sized at 16 ft. 6 in. W x 12 ft. H x 16 ft. 6 in. D in black. For soft-toss and shorter-range work, Jaypro also carries 7 ft. H x 7 ft. W and 7 ft. H x 6 ft. W (Economy) Batting Practice Screen Replacement Nets, giving coaches a lower-cost option for front-toss stations that don't need a full tunnel net.

Padding and Accessories for Cage Protection

Once the frame and netting are in place, padding protects both players and equipment inside the cage. The Ricochet Pad Batting Cage Upgrade Kit ships in 21 pieces at 6 ft. lengths, and the Ricochet Cushion is also sold individually in 6 ft. sections in black, letting you pad a full perimeter or just the high-impact zones behind the plate. Combined with the Thud Replacement Pad for the Bomber series and the Vinyl Skirt that closes the gap between netting and ground, these accessories let you keep an existing Jaypro cage performing like new without replacing the whole structure. Across the collection, pricing spans from individual replacement parts and poles up to fully packaged frame and cage systems, so budget can scale with whether you're patching one component or outfitting a new tunnel from the ground up.
