Batting cage
We specialize in building top quality commercial and residential batting cages and selling them at wholesale prices. Major league teams, colleges, schools, and commercial facilities trust our batting cage. Our mission is simple; we want to provide you with the best equipment at the best possible prices.
    Every batting cage, we sell, is encased in a rope structure with the ropes being attached with posi-lock stitching.  There are 3 top support ropes. The top and bottom ropes extend 8' past the end of the cage for easy attachment to a frame.

All of our batting cage nets are chemically treated with Tinuvin 788 and Irganox B-215, and these chemicals give each fiber of the net superior UV protection, and retards the normal deterioration of strength due to sun exposure. 
  

 PERFORMA Batting Cage Nets

The PERFORMA is the best batting cage net we make. We build our PERFORMA batting cage nets in both premium #36 and #42 twine size. Each batting cage is treated with Tinuvin 788 and Irganox B-215, which is added to each fiber before the extrusion process for superior resistance to UV breakdown, and this allows our nets to retain their strength even in the most extreme sun conditions.

The PERFORMA is hung on the square, will not shrink, will not absorb water, and has superior resistance to the sun.

Check out our batting cage selections and select the one best for you.

Tinuvin & Irganox are added to each fiber of the 3 strands of twine for superior UV protection 

 


HDPE Batting Cage Nets

Our The HDPE batting cage is an economical choice for outdoor applications. The HDPE has chemicals molded right into the fibers, providing the greatest UV protection and durability. 

The HDPE batting cage netting has diamond mesh and is knotless, which means there are no high spots to accelerate wear and the netting absorbs the impact of balls over several meshes. 

The  HDPE knotless net is a heavy poly with a 2.5mm (#36) twine size, and are far superior to the twisted poly or nylon with smaller twine sizes.  We believe this is the best batting cage for the dollar value available in the market today.

Additional Information

One of the most essential pieces of baseball equipment is a baseball batting cage. Each Skillbuilder baseball batting cage, like all of our baseball equipment, is manufactured to our rigorous high standards. They are all put through the most intensive Ultra Violet (UV) treatment process available and heat set to get the maximum protection through each of our nets' fibers.  Our nets will not bleed or rub off onto other materials. All of our nets have rope borders around the top, bottom and sides, and are tied into place to maximize the net's life.  The top and bottom ropes extend up to 8' beyond each nets' borders to make it easy to secure it to one of our sturdy frames.  55' and 70' batting cage nets are available to fit our 12'Hx12'W and 12'Hx14'W frames.

One of our most frequently asked questions regarding a batting cage is "How do nylon and poly nets compare?

Tests have shown that although nylon has a higher tensile strength, the abrasion factor of poly and nylon are about the same. Because a batting cage does not take direct hits, the abrasion resistance is much more important than tensile strength. Our poly nets work as well outdoors as indoors because they do not absorb water, as nylon does, and each strand being UV protected from the sun's harmful rays. In short, a poly batting cage is just as durable as nylon, even more versatile and much more affordable.

Numerous schools and colleges have purchased from us because of our high quality and low prices.

All our nets can be used with pitching machines, however, we do suggest using a backstop to save wear and tear on the net. For pitching machines used at 60 mph or less, any net can be used, but for pitching machines used at 80 mph and above, we recommend using the #45 twisted poly or #36 nylon.
