I know this is a funny question, but would this neeting be strong enough for a baseball batting cage?

I would think so if it was for kids I don't know about adults but it does seem pretty tuff.

I will tell you soon. I just tested the bird-x type standard netting with only a 14x14 length I got from Home Depot. It turned out to take the ball hits very well but breaks at the tie points. Using this netting should do well at the tie points and simple math says 9 inch ball circumference/pi 9/3.14159= 2.8647 is larger than the 2x2 netting even with a 2.829 hypotenuse. Either way, work or not, I'm buying this and some 1" electrical conduit (1/2" is far too flimzy) to use as the cheap caging material with 1 1/2 pipes partly buried to anchor the ends. When it's done I'll post the results and the costs... I will tell you soon. I just tested the bird-x type standard netting with only a 14x14 length I got from Home Depot.

I took another look at the size of holes and I do believe u can use as a batting cage ---material very strong
1553057
I don't think so, we use is to cover our duck enclosure there is no pressure being put on it. I don't think it's heavy enough sorry

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.

I guess if you mounted it in studs. It is pretty heavy and takes a little muscle.

I would imagine it would, I don't know for a fact, but I seen a little league coach letting his young player use it for batting practicefor the young players to hit

This is a very solid mailbox. The main post is supported internally by a wooden 4x4. I've never hit it with a baseball bat but ... I think it would hold up well.

It could hold the baseballs if the basket was just sitting on the ground. But you couldn't pick up the baseballs like you can the tennis balls and it isn't sturdy enough or balanced in a way that could support baseballs. The basket handles are also the standing support.

I actually gave that cage to a friend along with a parakeet, But, I would have to say it "Probably" is strong enough to hang from the ceiling - I would however worry about the bottom dropping out if it is not secure.

Yes it should. I use it for softball bats and there is plenty of room for them.

Yes it would; It's a very strong and sturdy piece. Just make sure you have something strong to anchor the base to.

Yes. It is very strong. Just make sure you have tightened it securely and what you attach it to is also strong enough to bear the weight

I do not believe this net would be strong enough for that application. I used it to hang stuffed animals from the ceiling and I think that is the limitation of its use. I hope that helps.

I think it would be strong enough but the one I bought are mounted outside and they started to rust right away

The machine is well designed for the intended "lite" ball; I do not believe this machine is designed for "hard" baseball use; I would invest in a machine specifically designed to throw a hard baseball.

It would hold balls, but not up very high since it has a doorway. But you could probably still get a 100-200 in there.

Definitely. It is quite strong. I use it a lot and have had no complaints at all. Regards.

I intended to anchor it securely enough for incidental grabs with larger screws than provided- into studs. I think it would have been strong enough, but I would not want to routinely put much weight on it. You can set the space between the support brackets wherever you like, which should help with bending of the rod. It is not a solid rod and is maybe 3/8" diam.

Yes. I bought this and used the top tier for a giant baseball. Worked great!

No I do not think the product is strong enough for this application. I would buy something more heavy duty.
