Would this work for a batting cage for our back yard? Was going to build one for my 6 yr old son, so I want something that will last a few years.

Yes it would. These are actual fishing nets so there made to withstand being wet and that's salty water wet. Not sure how they hold uo to being out in the sun constantly but I doubt that would be an issue. I've had mine since June of this year and it works perfect. We shoot lax balls, soccer, golf and footballs into it, does the job!

I don't think it would hold up well to that. It has a wood top. I use ours out side but bring it in when I am done.

Hi, Well I put mine under a patio with only one side open.. Its a beautiful cage.. so I really dont know how it would hold up if it is out in the open.. maybe if it is under a patio it will be ok.. but I live in Cal. and the weather is alot different here then in NJ.. So I dont think I am much help..

maybe slow it down, that seems close, we've used it in a batting cage but if its on concret it seems to move around a bit do to the front two anchors have nothing to dig into.

It is made of an unfinished wood. To use it outside you would have to put some kind of finish on it to protect it from the elements. Other than that it would work.

We just bought this one last summer. Based on the way it is constructed however, I expect to get several years use from it. Good luck

DO NOT treat it as it could harm the bats or even make them avoid the shelter. I have mine on one side of my house (gable end) and it still is 100% intact after about 6 years or more.

It will sure hold up. This is a great net. I use it for 11U baseball and 16U fastpitch teams. The system goes up fast and anchors in with four "u" tent stakes.Really compact and is up and down in minutes. The net has plenty of give so that us old guys can swing away!

No. This would not last outside. The top is wood and the metal is not sturdy enough for out side.

Yes, it will hold up! I had it out for a couple of weeks before we moved from Colorado to Texas so my cats would be used to it, and they used it as a play tunnel running in and out and over it.

I love ours, but I don't think it would hold up well outdoors. Wood might age too quickly; hinges would probably rust. Would also be tough to clean.

My grandson for whom we bought the pitch back net just happens to be visiting. He loves it for lacrosse, but does not think it would work for batting practice. I think he is a reliable source. : )

I would definitely go with the 7'x7' net. perfect size for both pitching and hitting. It's still small enough that it can be setup in basement or garage as well.hope this helps:regards,dino

We love this net. It is very nice, and heavy, and durable. I believe it just Velcro-ed to the net post. If your net posts are on the outside, I would think it will work. We left ours up all summer, and it is no worse the wear. Go for it.

I am thinking the bounce back might be too much for batting. The ball really flies off the net. My kids use it for practicing throwing and catching pop flies. I have to say the quality is good on this product, no complaints.

This is NOT a good net for that.. it is tight and will kick the ball back to the source. I would recommend getting some TCB balls. This is what I use for front toss and I coach 5 teams ages 7-19 they work great and no fear of getting hit/hurt

I believe it would work for that purpose, I'm a big strong guy, I put on gloves and pulled on the netting to see just how strong it was. I could not pull it apart. Almost two years later and its just as strong as the day I purchased it.
