OK HaverDad…I’m a little slow

Is this three sided, if so what did you use for behind the batter?

Plastic-Clad wire rope….is that something I’ll find at my local hardware store?

Did you pick up the industrial strength wire ties at the hardware store also?

Am I correct that for each side you tightly string the plastic-clad rope between two eye bolts (twice on each side wall and once on the end(s)?

Does the rope weave thru the net (net hangs directly on the rope), if so what are the 4 wire rope clamps used for?

Thanks for the tips….looking to set up something like this very soon.
We never used it for throwing from the front.
At this depth it was too dangerous.
We only used it for tee, side and rear toss, so it didnt need a 4th side.
(HaverSon also used it for the weighted ball pitching routine.)

We bought the Plastic-Clad wire rope and industrial strength wire ties at Home Depot.

re: Am I correct that for each side you tightly string the plastic-clad rope between two eye bolts (twice on each side wall and once on the end(s)?
Yes, and this was where we used the clamps, to keep the wire rope flown and tight.

re: Does the rope weave thru the net (net hangs directly on the rope)
Yes, although the path is obviously linear. (HaverMom did that part) She says you must remember to attach the rope to the net (on the ground) before you mount the wire rope to the truss. (This last part is at least a 2-person manuever, we used 3 people.)

For our purposes, and I suspect most peoples, the net should be able to slide out and back, but bundle and hang overhead when not in use.
