Constructed from #24 Twine Size knotted HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene). Includes all deluxe features. For youth through light commercial applications. Net is hung on a square, which absorbs the impact of the balls over several meshes with no high spots to accelerate wear. UV and weather protection is embedded during extrusion it is not a cheap coating that will flake off in a couple of years. Life expectancy is 4 to 6 years. We believe this is the best batting cage for the dollar value on the market today.

What's the difference? Nylon vs. Polyethylene: Our polyethylene nets, the UV inhibitors are inside the polymeric blend that gets extruded into the individual fibers. These fibers are twisted or braided into twine. Since the UV inhibitor is built into the fibers, it can't wear off. Polyethylene doesn't absorb water, doesn't rot, and loses very little strength year to year. Their nylon nets are coated with a UV inhibitor which tends to wear off in a year or two. Nylon absorbs water, encouraging mold, mildew, and rotting. See picture above. Typically, a new nylon net used outside in direct sun will lose 15% to 20% of its tensile strength each year.
