ABSTRACT:
A batting cage frame is constructed of two end subframes, each having a beam and two legs inclined with respect to the ground, and one midpoint subframe. The beam and legs of each subframe are composed of lengths of metal tubing held together with sleeve couplings and elbows. Edge cables for supporting an enclosure made of netting attach between eyebolts on the end subframes. The center section of each edge cable is a short length of chain that attaches to an eyebolt on the midpoint subframe. Each frame pivotably attaches to a foot that is secured to the ground with stakes. The end subframes incline away from each other. Anchor cables attached to the end subframes run down to a tie down ring. A tie down chain has a stake attached at each end. The tie down chain also attaches at its center to the tie down ring. Tension is created in the anchor cables and the edge cables by securing the stakes attached to the tie down chain into the ground. Tension in the anchor cables is adjustable to minimize sagging in the edge cables.
