Jugs 12,320ft³ Medium Batting Cage Kit #3


Description

The JUGS Medium Batting Cage Kit #3 is a tunnel-style backyard batting cage built for serious baseball and softball practice at home. Measuring a full 55ft long x 14ft wide x 16ft high, it gives hitters and pitchers plenty of room to work on their game year-round. The industrial-strength galvanized steel frame is built to last, and the included net comes in your choice of twisted knot polyethylene or polyester to suit your climate and performance needs.

Every kit ships with everything you need to get up and running - frame components, netting, and a free hitter and pitcher's trainer backdrop mat (a $150 value) that protects the most-used section of the net. Whether you're setting up in the backyard or a dedicated training space, this cage is ready to handle daily use and hold up season after season.


Key Features

  • 55ft x 14ft x 16ft Tunnel Cage: Generous dimensions accommodate baseball and softball hitters and pitchers with full swing and throwing room.
  • Industrial Galvanized Steel Frame: Heavy-duty steel construction resists corrosion and holds up to outdoor conditions year after year.
  • 2 5/16" Ground Sleeves: Wide-diameter sleeves anchor the frame securely into the ground for a stable setup.
  • 2" Diameter Uprights and Crossbars: Thick steel uprights and crossbars form a rigid, reliable tunnel structure.
  • Centerline Mid-Point Rib: An added center rib improves structural integrity and keeps the cage evenly supported along its full length.
  • 1 3/4" Twisted Knot Netting: Twisted knot construction delivers superior strength and durability compared to standard knotless nets.
  • UV-Protected Black Netting: Extruded black net core - not just surface color - provides maximum UV protection and long-lasting color integrity.
  • Hitter's Door: Built-in entry door makes it easy to step in and out of the cage between at-bats.
  • Heavy-Duty Polypropylene Rope: Used on corners and verticals for added support and a secure net hang.
  • Pre-Stretched Netting: Hydraulic pre-stretching process reduces shrinkage over time, keeping the net taut and properly fitted.
  • 5-Year Warranty: Frame is backed by a 5-year manufacturer's warranty covering craftsmanship and construction.

Netting Options & Which to Choose

  • #27 Polyethylene: The lightest polyethylene option, offering solid everyday durability for casual backyard use. A great entry-level choice for players who want reliable protection without the heavier construction of thicker nets. (Available as Preorder)
  • #42 Polyethylene: A mid-weight polyethylene net that balances durability and value. Ideal for regular practice use in wet or humid climates, since polyethylene doesn't absorb water and resists rotting.
  • #60 Polyethylene: A heavier-duty polyethylene option built for high-frequency use. Best for players who practice often and want extra durability while still benefiting from polyethylene's moisture resistance.
  • #96 Polyester: The top-tier netting choice - polyester offers the highest breaking strength, superior abrasion resistance, and mildew and rot prevention. Best for players who demand the absolute best in quality and long-term performance.

What's Included

  • Galvanized steel frame (uprights, crossbars, centerline rib)
  • Ground sleeves
  • Cable hooks
  • Batting cage net (twisted knot polyethylene or polyester, per selected option)
  • Hitter's Door

Why You'll Love It

The JUGS Medium Batting Cage Kit #3 is engineered for years of dependable outdoor use, combining a robust galvanized steel frame with premium twisted knot netting that simply outperforms what most competitor cages offer. The pre-stretched nets resist shrinking, the UV-protected black core holds its color far longer than surface-dyed alternatives, and the centerline mid-point rib keeps everything true and tight over the long haul. The included backdrop mat - a free $150 value - protects the back of the net where wear happens fastest, extending the life of your investment right out of the box. With the Hitter's Door built right in, getting in and out between reps is effortless, and the netting options let you match your cage to your climate and your level of play. Backed by a 5-year warranty, this is a cage you can count on from the first session to the thousandth.

FAQ

What is the difference between polyethylene and polyester netting?

Polyethylene netting does not absorb water, making it a great choice for wet or humid climates where rot and mildew are a concern. Polyester netting offers the highest breaking strength, superior abrasion resistance, and also resists mildew and rot. If you want maximum performance and durability, go with the #96 Polyester. If you want solid protection in a damp environment at a more accessible price point, the polyethylene options are excellent choices.

What does the number (#27, #42, #60, #96) on the netting mean?

The number refers to the weight and thickness of the netting cord. A higher number means a heavier, thicker, and stronger net. #27 is the lightest option, suitable for casual use, while #96 Polyester is the heaviest and most durable, designed for the most demanding practice environments.

Is the frame difficult to assemble?

The JUGS batting cage frame is designed for straightforward backyard installation. All necessary hardware - uprights, crossbars, ground sleeves, and cable hooks - are included in the kit. Most installations can be completed with basic tools and a helper to manage the larger frame sections and netting.

What is the backdrop mat included with the cage?

The included Hitter and Pitcher's Trainer Backdrop Mat is a heavy-duty, waterproof mat that attaches to the back of the cage. It protects the rear net panel - the area that takes the most impact from pitches and hits - which significantly extends the overall lifespan of your net. It is a $150 value included free with your purchase.

Can this batting cage be used for both baseball and softball?

Yes - the JUGS Medium Batting Cage Kit #3 is designed for both baseball and softball use. At 55ft long, 14ft wide, and 16ft high, it provides ample space for hitters and pitchers of both sports to practice comfortably.

Does this cage need to be taken down in the winter?

JUGS recommends evaluating your local climate. The galvanized steel frame is built for outdoor durability, and the polyethylene netting options are moisture-resistant. However, in areas with heavy snow loads or extreme weather, taking down the netting seasonally is a common practice to extend net life. The polyester net's mildew and rot resistance also makes it a strong choice for year-round installations.
