As featured in the Bison Catalog, Bison Inc. continues its expansion into diamond sports with the launch of the Extreme™ Commercial Batting Cage. Engineered for scholastic athletic fields, collegiate complexes, and commercial training centers, this heavy-duty enclosure system delivers professional-grade containment built to withstand continuous seasonal use and harsh outdoor weather.
Built with the same heavy-duty steel fabrication, structural safety standards, and weather-resistant finishes that define Bison’s basketball, soccer, and volleyball lines, the Extreme™ system provides a reliable, long-term practice solution for facility directors and coaching staff.
Heavy-Duty Structural Frame Architecture
Outdoor practice cages must withstand high-impact line drives, heavy netting weight, and severe seasonal weather without leaning or suffering weld fatigue. Bison’s support frame is engineered for maximum structural rigidity and wind resistance.
Key Structural Specifications:
- Industrial-Strength Galvanized Uprights: Constructed from heavy-gauge 2⅜-inch O.D. industrial galvanized steel tubing to permanently resist rust, corrosion, and bending under cable tension.
- Robust Structural Cross Members: Reinforced with 1⅛-inch steel cross members to prevent frame sway and maintain continuous top-edge net height.
- Optimized 12-Foot Upright Spacing: Support posts are spaced at 12-foot intervals along the perimeter to provide optimal load distribution and frame stability.
- Spacious Training Footprint: Measures an official 70' L x 12' W x 12' H, giving hitters and pitchers unrestricted room for full live-batting practice and pitching drills.
High-Impact Multi-Sport Netting & Hardware
Not all athletic netting is built equal. The netting substrate must combine high impact absorption with tight mesh geometry to safely contain high-velocity balls across multiple athletic disciplines.
Netting & Hardware Features:
- Extra Heavy-Duty 4mm Mesh: Constructed from high-tensile 4mm twine designed to absorb repeated high-velocity ball impacts without fraying or sagging.
- Universal 1⅛-Inch Square Geometry: The tight 1⅛-inch square openings safely contain baseballs and softballs while also serving as a protective barrier for golf swing practice and multi-sport training drills.
- Convenience & Access Features: Outfitted with an integrated hook-and-loop entry door for quick athlete access, heavy-duty spring clips for secure netting attachment, and 100% rust-resistant galvanized hardware throughout.
Flexible Footing Configurations for Any Site Layout
Site conditions and municipal building codes vary across sports complexes. The Extreme™ series supports two distinct structural foundation options:
- Direct-Bury Concrete Footings: Permanent in-ground installation for dedicated outdoor athletic fields.
- Pedestal Base Mounting: Surface-mounted flange base designed for bolting directly to pre-cast concrete pads or fieldhouse flooring.
