Product Overview
The Douglas Baseball/Softball Hitting Station System is a stand-alone 10 ft. high frame intended for use alongside an existing batting tunnel, giving players additional hitting stations before or after their turn in the cage. Impact netting hangs loose between the poles to absorb ball impact and prevent rebound.
The frame is built from 4 in. square heavy-duty steel poles with a black powder coat finish for weather resistance. The 13 ft. poles are installed into 3 ft. deep ground sleeves, and netting is suspended between poles using a 1/4 in. galvanized steel cable.
The high-impact netting is fabricated from black 3.5 mm knotless polypropylene (Pylon) with a 1-3/4 in. square mesh and a reinforced rope border, extruded to resist UV rays, mold and mildew, with a 325 lb. break strength. Customers can choose a 55' system with 2 poles or a 70'/75' system with 3 poles; the complete system ships with all hardware needed for installation, including cable, turnbuckles, c-snaps, collars and ground sleeves.
