Our experts can help you determine the right net size, hardware and installation method for your space: https://practicesports.com/support In this video, a Practice Sports customer installs a cable-supported sliding batting cage from start to finish. You’ll learn how to mount the header board and FlexPlates, install the cable line and turnbuckles, properly tension the system and attach the batting cage net. This retractable design allows the net to slide open when it’s time to practice and collapse against the wall when you need your garage or basement space back. ⚠️ IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTE: Never attach the batting cage system directly to drywall. All anchor points must be secured to properly supported structural framing or another suitable load-bearing surface. Consult a qualified contractor if you are uncertain about your installation conditions.
