Do any of you have batting cages in your backyard? If so, where did you buy the cage and did you install it yourself or hire someone else to do it. I'm looking for recommendations. I live in the Flower Mound area.

I have previously installed two batting cages. Order the frame online. Make sure you have adequate width. One of our parents manufactured our nets but you could probably also order online. Three guys can construct in 1/2 day. Put the poles in sleeves so you can take down the cage if needed. Install pulleys to raise and lower the net.

I built the frame myself using installation instructions on the above website.
I bought 2" X 2" square tubing from my local welding and metal supply house. I fashioned 90 degree "L" brackets to attach top bar to vertical poles. I then used the black fencing paint available at home depot. I rented an auger for a half day to dig the holes.
All in all, two men for two full days and about $1000 total cost and that includes renting a bobcat to build up the pad.
P.S.
I'm sure I'm busy that weekend...
