Pro-Grade Kit (for 70'L-95'L Single Lane Cage):
The Pro Kit is optimal for heavier batting cage
nets spanning from wall to wall, upwards of 100' without any center drop-cable
support points. This is the same system we use for our professional nationwide
installations. It creates solid cable lines for optimal support, and results
in professional looking tunnels. The adhesive combined with the extra durable
12"x12" steel plates (with 6 lag points to disperse the tension) also gives
the additional stability to insure your plates are adhered tightly against your
walls, mitigating safety risks.
Our Wall CurtainCages include 3 linear cables which run the same
height as your net. The cables attach to turn-buckles, which attach to eye-bolts
or steel face plates, which anchor into your wall or structure. Steel snaps
attach the cable lines to the top of your tunnel, creating a "curtain effect"
- allowing your tunnel to curtain to either side of your facility, "bungied"
up against the wall, approximately 2-3' feet from the wall.
Bottom-Line: A Wall CurtainCage results in less overall
sag and has more of a "boxy" look than a Ceiling CurtainCage, due
to the net being attached directly to the linear cables every 24". Just
remember you will have 3 cables which run overhead at the same height as your
net, unless you remove them each time. If you need to maximize your over-head
space, you will want to consider a Ceiling
CurtainCage or a Wind-Up
Winch CurtainCage.
