Product Overview
The Varsity Sock Net Screen from Douglas Sports is built for the demands of baseball and softball practice, featuring a 7 ft. H x 7 ft. W frame constructed from 1.5 in. powder coated steel with a compression bolt together assembly. This construction gives the screen the stability and strength needed to withstand repeated impacts during batting practice.
The net itself is a UV weather treated #60 knotted net that slips over the frame in a pillow-case style, making it easy to install or replace. The target area measures 53 in. wide by 49 in. high, providing ample coverage as a hitting backdrop or protective screen for fielders and coaches during infield and outfield drills.
Each leg of the frame includes a welded gusset to enhance durability and extend the product's lifespan under regular use. An optional wheel kit is available separately for easier transport of the screen around the field.
