Product Overview
In short
This is a complete cable hardware kit for Douglas suspended (tie-back) backstop systems, including galvanized steel cable, turnbuckles, cable clamps, eye bolts, and spring links. It provides the tensioning hardware needed to keep backstop netting taut without sagging; custom netting and poles are sold separately.
✓ Authorized Douglas Dealer — ships brand-new with the full factory warranty

The Douglas Suspended Backstop Cable Hardware Kit supplies all the cable and hardware needed to construct a tensioned, tie-back style backstop system, offering a more unobstructed view compared to the standard pole-to-pole configuration. The kit is built around 600 feet of 1/4 in. galvanized steel cable rated for 6,100 lb. breaking strength, along with 12 in. and 6 in. turnbuckles, 1/4 in. cable clamps, 6 in. eye bolts, and 8 mm spring links to secure and tension the netting.

Douglas recommends spacing wall-mounted eyebolts every 3 to 4 feet when installing this hardware against a wall, though wall hardware itself is not included in this kit. For pole-supported installations, a pole size of 10.75 in. OD with .375 in. wall thickness is recommended. Netting and poles are sold separately, and Douglas suggests pairing this hardware with high-impact 1-3/4 in. square mesh baseball netting featuring a rope-bound border, available in materials such as #12 Knotted Dyneema, #42 Knotted Ultra HDPE, Twisted Knotted Nylon, or Knotless Polypropylene.

This kit is intended for facilities building or upgrading a professional-grade backstop system and includes installation instructions, cut sheets, and bid specs to support planning and setup.
