FAQ
Can I use this cage with a pitching machine?
Yes - the Xtender Batting Cage includes a built-in pitching machine harness, so it's designed to work directly with a pitching machine. Simply position your machine at the open end of the cage and secure it using the harness for stable, repeatable practice sessions.
Is this cage suitable for softball as well as baseball?
Absolutely. The Xtender Backyard Batting Cage is designed for both baseball and softball practice. The 1 1/4" polyester net handles both ball sizes effectively, and the cage dimensions provide ample space for either sport.
Can I connect multiple Xtender cages together?
Yes - that's one of the key features of the Xtender design. Additional cage units can be secured together end-to-end, allowing you to extend the total length of your batting tunnel as your needs grow or your space allows.
How difficult is assembly, and do I need tools?
Assembly instructions are included with the cage. The frame uses tube steel and flexible fiberglass rods that fit together to form the tunnel structure, and the 6 steel ground stakes anchor it in place. Most setups can be completed with basic tools and a second set of hands to manage the frame and netting.
Will this cage stay in place outdoors during windy conditions?
The Xtender cage includes 6 power stakes specifically designed to secure the cage to the ground and keep it in position. For best results in consistently windy areas, ensure all stakes are fully driven into firm ground and the nylon support ropes are properly tensioned.
What size cage should I choose for my backyard?
Start by measuring the available length in your yard. The cage sizes range from 36 ft to 72 ft, all at 12 ft wide and 10 ft tall. For younger or recreational players, a 36 ft or 48 ft cage is often plenty. Serious or older players typically benefit from a 60 ft or longer cage to simulate real game pitching distances.
