Product Overview
The add-on kit shares the existing tunnel's structure on one side and adds a new line of heavy wall square steel poles on the other, so a second hitting lane can be built alongside the original without duplicating the whole frame. The clean design keeps structure away from the hitting area to reduce ricochets.
The net hangs from tensioned galvanized aircraft cable using snap hooks, so it can be slid to one end for storage or unhooked entirely for the off-season. All steel is powder coated black over a zinc primer. Footing details on the drawing are suggestions; local building codes should be checked first.
