Building an Indoor Batting Cage Facility

Purchase four square batting nets the height of the ceiling rafters in the building where you are constructing the indoor batting cages. Purchase nine pulleys and a length of rope that is eighteen times the height of the building's rafters.

Cut nine pieces of rope each twice as long as the height of the rafters. Screw in three evenly spaced pulleys to the rafters along the sides and back rafters you are going to hang the net to. Staple the top square of batting net to the area on the bottom of the rafters between the side and back walls of the batting cage. Tie three ropes evenly spaced to each the three walls of the batting cage. String the ropes through each pulley and place a sand bag on the end of each rope to keep the batting cage side and back walls hung with nets.

Rent or purchase a pitching machine, a surplus of baseballs, and baseball bats. When you need to use the building for other things, take the sandbags off the ropes and take the side and back net walls down. Leaving the ceiling net stapled in place won't get in the way.
