Commercial-Grade Kit (for 60-70'L Single Lane Cage -- Block / Poured
Concrete mounting):

The Commercial Kit is optimal for heavier batting
cage nets spanning from wall to wall, upwards of 70'-80' without center drop-cable
support points.
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 (optional upgrade
to truss/joist brackets available). 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 2-3'. 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.
Parts List:
- (3) 80' Rolls of 1/4" Aircraft Cable: Galvanized Coated (Lengthwise attachment)
- (3) Turnbuckles: 9" x 5/8" Jaw-Jaw Galvanized Steel (One end of each cable)
- (12) 1/4" Cable-Clamps: Galvanized Steel (Secures cable ends)
- (6) Steel Wall Plates: 8" x 8" (Spans multiple blocks - eliminates back-side
anchors)
- (70) Steel Snap-hooks - Spring-loaded (Attaches 3 cables to top of net
every 36" for 70' net)
TIP: Turn-buckles can be difficult to tension to max load
without certain tools/experience. Consider adding 3 turn-buckles to this kit
("Related Items" tab) which will make installation easier, and reduce
the chance of requiring vertical drop cables to remove ceiling sag.
Optional Add-on Items (select from "Related Items" tab):
- Roller Wheels: Helps cables slide smoother, preventing
grooves from wearing in snaps, resulting in snags. The more used, the easier
it will slide.
- Adjustable mounting plates: Allows lines to adjust several
inches vertically after lags have been set. Very useful to compensate for
the sag over the years as the net relaxes.
- Lag Screws: Add to your kit to minimize trips to the hardware
store during installation. Or use your own lags based on the appropriate application.
4 per plate x 6 = 24 total lags required for a single lane CurtainCage.
- Additional Steel-Snaps: Add more snaps for a more flush
fit to the cables. More attachment points = less sag. Consider adding enough
snaps for connecting every 12"-24".
- Truss Brackets: Custom designed to fit your ceiling trusses,
creating termination points for lines. Useful when your walls are too far
apart, or they can't handle the high tension loads.
