The classic, durable Douglas® Batting tunnel frame has withstood the test of time and been manufactured for over 30 years. With the Douglas® Batting Tunnel frame your poles can be set at your desired length and can also be adjusted to fit custom net widths. Standard batting tunnel lengths are 55’/70’/75’ and widths are 12’/14’ wide. The unique frame design allows for the tunnel’s net to easily be adjusted at any time after the initial installation. The double and triple frame system is installed with a shared-pole multiple cage design setup, eliminating the need for extra poles and ground footings.FRAMEThis heavy-duty frame is constructed using six, 14’, 4” square, heavy-duty steel poles. A black, baked on powder coat finish on the steel frame provides the ultimate weather resistance and protection. The width of the end frames are reinforced using 2-3/8” OD, heavy-duty 7-gauge galvanized steel crossbars used to attach the steel cables for attaching the net. The end crossbars feature Allied’s® zinc Flo-coat galvanization process for maximum protection. For increased safety, a center cross cable is used instead of a crossbar. The cable provides net support and eliminates overhead ball ricochet. Frame poles are installed with 4” square 24” aluminum ground sleeves,, allowing a maximum installed net height of 12’.HARDWAREThe cable support systems consists of 1/4” galvanized aircraft cable with a 6,100 lb break strength. Cables are ran the length of the tunnel and attached to the crossbars to support the net. All net-to-cable connections are constructed from long lasting steel. All of the necessary hardware components including quick links, turnbuckles, cable clamps and carabiner clips are provided. Batting tunnel nets are sold separately – choose the size that suits your needs best.WARRANTYDouglas® Batting Tunnel Frames include a 5-Year limited warranty with a proper installation and normal, intended use.
