Heater Sports 12' x 12' x 10' Home Run Baseball & Softball Batting Cage - Portable Net with Durable Frame, Built-in Machine Square (Machine Not Included) | Batting Trainer for All Ages

I read the reviews and assumed what I was going to get would be a substandard product. I was pleasantly surprised. I am 6'3" so I am able to reach up to the top of the netting and get it situated for use. I added the 10' extension to the 20' cage we already had as the pitching machine was a little bit close. All of the materials are pretty much what you would expect and it goes together relatively simply. I was able to put the whole cage together by myself. With two people it is pretty easy. You have to follow the instructions and measure properly and then use some common sense when draping the netting over the support rods, making sure to line up the red thread where the support rods go. The netting is a little bit light, but it has to be in order not to collapse the rods. It does stop the balls properly and my kids have used it and loved it all summer and we didn't have any broken windows. I think this is a great product on the cheaper cost side to get younger kids the hitting and pitching practice they need.

Even tho the box was beat up and it was delayed. I was excited to set it up for my son before he got home from school. That didn't happen it was a pain in the watoosey to fit and then the poles were flinging and I almost lost an eye with a steak. One of the steaks already bent from having to keep placing it in the ground over and over. But it's up and tied off the best I could with 2 hands and no help. Hopefully it gets used. Plus side is its super windy today and I came home to it still standing and he's already played 2 hours in it. But getting out was funny to watch haha

I bought 2 of these to extend a 20 ft. cage that I already had. Great price. Easy to set up. I set it up by myself. It's a lot harder to set up with just one person. I would recommend two people to make it even easier and a lot quicker. I now have a 44 ft. bating cage that my son uses with our Zooka pitching machine. We use real baseballs and have pitched them between 40 and 65 mph. The poles are a bit flimsy and bend in the wind so I used some tent pegs and extra string to make it more sturdy.

The cage was a pain in the neck to put up, and the machine is just ok. Wish I had invested in a better machine. But, you know what they say, you get what you pay for. Just "ok."

This thing is garbage. Each fiber glass pole is separate and requires you to put provided electrical tape around connections so they don't come apart. Once they are all together in the order specified and put into the stakes they just flop around while you attempt to put the netting on. The netting is ridiculous with no rhyme or reason to which side is which or how it actually goes on. I had to put guy lines on one side before putting the net on just to hold that side up long enough to pull net over. Once that's done you spend another 20 minutes moving the net around truing to get it to where you think it should go. Without the guy lines this thing will collapse on itself, the hole for the pitching machine is very small and works about 20% of the time with the small ball pitching machine they sell. What they should have done is add the string in between the poles like most tents do these days and add either loops at each end for the poles to go through or a nylon pouch for them to go into. Not only would this have made putting the net on easier it would have helped identify which end was which. I cannot recommend this at all and am returning it.

This is a wonderful item!!!!! Setting the poles up was real easy.....Setting the net up was another story! You will def need two people when placing the net on. Hopefully you have a tall friend that can help you out!!! Once on my children love the "feeling like the pro's" feeling!!!!

Using this as a cat enclosure. Opening is attached to window for cats to go in and out. Would not recommend for actual baseball. It is not big enough for anyone to hit baseballs inside. However makes the perfect cat enclosure. Be aware poles are attached by provided electrical tape.

Boy loves it. He is 15 and for the last year he goes out and sets it up and hits away for an hour or so. The only thing I could even complain is it can be a strugle with a breeze. The balls are light as expected so if you have some wind it can curve them which works too. Also very safe and works well in the carport too.safe on the walls,
