great backyard addition
We've had the 40' version up for about a month now. Was able to handle all of the setup with 1 person, aside from standing the arches up and spacing them out.Couple of observations: the opening for a pitching machine is pretty massive. Yes, it works as a door, but it's way bigger than it needs to be, for what it's intended and pretty much any hard hit ball up the middle is shooting right through it unless you either close it off with the little velcro wraps every time you go in and out, or just close it off entirely and lift the net to go in and out. I ended up rolling it back down a bit from the top and then using my L screen to block off the bottom, leaving just enough of an opening for our pitching machine to shoot through. There's plenty of slack in the sides of the net for entry and exit by lifting up over your head.The instructions are somewhat unclear in indicating that the net is to be hung from the underside of the arches. I didn't understand completely during setup, and managed to put it together with the arches INSIDE the net. I feel like this is actually a little bit better in the long run, as the weight of the net is now spread across the full span of the arch and not just suspended from 3 points of contact on each arch. The net still reaches the ground just fine, and has less sag, so the ball has a little more head room to fly without getting caught up in it. The frame poles might take a bit more of a beating from direct hits, but it's a trade off I'm willing to live with.the ground anchors, for my yard, had to be upgraded. They're medium-duty straight spikes. Something like this, with any sort of moisture in the soil and a stiff cross-breeze, will yank those right out of the ground. I bought 16" earth anchors from a big box store and twisted them into the ground. Don't forget to pluck the anchor ropes twice after tightening down, and repeat the phrase, "yeah, it's not goin' anywhere." It's the rules when it comes to tying things down. Google it.Also, you really do need to lift the bottom edge off the ground by a couple feet whenever the cage is not in use. If you leave the net in contact with the ground, it will be a matter of 1-2 days before you have holes chewed in it from rabbits that get stuck in it like a fishing net. We had several holes within 3 days, and my wife had to pull a trapped rabbit out of our dog's mouth. Getting in the habit of keeping it up off the ground makes it easier to mow around, as well.

Great net for the money
The media could not be loaded. We just purchased this net and had it set up in about two hours. (An hour to piece frame together). You definitely need two people, maybe more for assembly. It’s not as easy to set up as the video leads you to believe because it uses ropes to stake it down versus the stabilizer bars shown in the video. Stabilizer bars were not included.They have you put the net under the bars so the net continually gets caught on the hooks as you’re trying to set it up, which is why you need more people to help.Once assembled, it is really sturdy. We had some high winds and that thing didn’t move.We love the cut out hole so we can keep the pitching machine on the outside.Overall it’s a really great cage, hoping it lasts for some time as we will need it for the next few years!!

Exceeded my expectations
We live in a residential area and can't let baseballs go into neighbors' yards. This batting cage was easy to set up, and handles baseballs shot from a pitching machine up to 100 mph with no problems. This was a wonderful buy, and I have no doubt it will last the next few years while my 14-year old son is still in high school. At under $800 for the 40-foot cage, the price can't be beat! A+++
