How to Select the Right Outdoor Batting Cage for Your Needs

Whether you’re using your batting cage for your backyard, school/university, or commercial facility, the first question you need to ask is.  “How will we be using this cage?” That one question can save you thousands of dollars.  Not to mention a lot of trouble, so be sure you know the answer.

Maybe you’re a homeowner who’s setting up a backyard batting cage for the weekend so the kids can play in the backyard.  Maybe you’re a school or commercial facility and you need the cage up for a weekend tourney or fundraising event.  Either way a temporary, above-ground batting cage is a perfect choice.

If you’re looking for a cage that will perform day in and day out for years to come, then you need a more permanent batting cage like an in-ground one.

Batting-Cage-with-Synthetic-Turf-Smithtown-NY1Above-Ground vs In-Ground Batting Cages

Above-ground batting cages are generally temporary outdoor batting cage solutions, perfect for backyard cage use, corporate, or fundraising events. These types of cages usually install quickly.  They are not designed to stay up for long periods time and susceptible to high winds. Most above-ground nets are considered portable, and can quickly be set up at any location with a flat surface. The exception to this rule is the Bolt-Down cages.  As the name suggests, it needs to be bolted down to a concrete surface.

In-ground batting cages are for more permanent outdoor solution. To install these batting cage frames, you’re going to have to do some digging. The frames of these cages and nets can last for years. Many schools, universities, and commercial facilities benefit from side-by-side multi-lane batting cages that not only reduce the overall footprint of the cage but also help to reduce costs.

Determining Your Cage Size

Now that you know which TYPE of cage you need, the next step is determining what SIZE of cage you’ll need.  No matter what type of cage you’ve selected, you’ll need a flat surface for your cage to occupy.  Be sure to leave a minimum of 3 feet between the net and existing structures like sheds, garages, and houses to prevent damage and potential ricochet. Please don’t install your cage near trees and other objects like fences or telephone poles that can become potential ricochet points. If you don’t have much room, don’t despair. Other measures can be taken to install buffers inside your batting cage too.  For example padding on the object itself using pole padding to deaden the impact. These steps can allow you to place your batting cage closer to a structure.

No one size fits all when it comes to batting cages, you may have space restrictions or may not need a full 70’ for pitching and just need a 40’ for hitting.

Batting-Cage-with-Synthetic-Turf-Smithtown-NY2What Type of Netting Do You Need? What Twine Size is Right?

We recommend people buy the largest twine they can afford. A #42 Twine net is about twice as thick and twice as strong as a #21 Twine. The larger twined, heavier cages will snag balls better, look better, wear better, last longer, and you will be happier with them. You need a minimum of 60 lbs. of tensile strength.

Choosing the Right Artificial Synthetic Turf

No matter how big or small your home or facility is, installing artificial turf in your batting cages is a worthwhile investment. Synthetic turf is designed to withstand wear and tear that occurs when equipment is in high demand.

Gappsi carries many different varieties of artificial turf to choose from for your batting cages. Artificial turf is suitable for use in indoor or outdoor batting cages. You can choose padded or unpadded turf in a variety of materials to suit your needs.

Outdoor artificial turf often resembles spears of grass. Outdoor cages can be outfitted with permeable artificial turf that allows rain and other liquids to run off and then be absorbed into the ground underneath. Indoor artificial turf can also look like grass spears, or it may look more like carpet.

Check out Artificial Turf & Synthetic Lawn Options

Artificial turf usually stands up to daily, continuous use for at least 8-10 years, with many installations lasting as long as 15 years. Artificial turf is resilient, and durable, and protects the flooring or ground in the cage from wear and damage. It requires much less maintenance than actual turf and holds up better to continued use.

If you have any questions about which turf would best suit your installation needs, our experts would be happy to assist you. Contact us today!

Benefits Of Artificial Putting Greens

When asking what the benefits are of installing synthetic grass in your home or office, a better question to ask might be, what isn’t a benefit of artificial grass?:

  • Pet-friendly – muddy paws, pests, and an unkempt yard are often among the top complaints from pet owners with a natural grass lawn. With artificial grass from Gappsi, you’ll no longer have to worry about Fido becoming infected with ticks or tracking dirt and mud into your clean home.
  • Excellent for water conservation – for homeowners seeking ways to lower their consumption, synthetic grass is an excellent option, as it requires no regular watering. That’s an investment you can feel good about!
  • Free of allergens and pesticides – allergies are a thing of the past with synthetic grass, which leaves no trace of allergens. Additionally, there’s no need to apply harmful chemicals and pesticides, so you can feel safe letting kids and pets play on the lawn.
  • Low-maintenance – gone are the days when you constantly have to re-sod and add fertilizer to your lawn. With artificial grass, all you need is a leaf blower and a garden hose to remove dust and debris.
  • A smart investment – if a high return on investment is a top concern, it doesn’t get much better than artificial grass. Gappsi synthetic grass products possess a 10-15 year life expectancy, with no need to re-seed or water daily, as with traditional grass.

Concrete Wall Vinyl Liner Pool In Centereach NY

Concrete Wall Vinyl Liner Pool In Centereach NY

Gappsi designed a 20 x 40 Concrete Wall Vinyl Liner Pool located in Centereach NY.  The concrete walls are naturally of cement, but the floor is dirt.  Added in a thin layer of vermiculite over it and a thin layer of foam separating the liner from the wall of cement.

Vinyl Lined Concrete Wall Pools are very strong and offer a wide amount of shapes.  Vinyl liners offer a wide selection of colors and patterns to choose from. After many years of use, vinyl liners can be replaced when they wear out or when you are ready for a new look.

So what is a Concrete Wall Vinyl Liner Pool?

The process for constructing a Concrete Wall Vinyl Liner pool is unique and requires a more sophisticated pool builder to do it right. Once the excavation of your swimming pool is completed, Gappsi assembles forms that make up the shape of your pool. The area inside these forms is lined with steel rebar and then filled with concrete. When the concrete hardens the forms are removed and what’s left is the strongest and most durable vinyl liner pool construction available today. The best part about every Gappsi Concrete Wall Vinyl Liner pool is that all the walls, steps, sun decks, and benches are made from concrete. All of the benefits of owning a Concrete Wall Vinyl Liner pool are seen throughout the entire pool structure.

Gappsi does not use the industry standard white plastic steps with any Concrete Wall Vinyl Liner pool we build, you receive the unique look of vinyl-covered steps, sun decks, and benches.

The patio surrounding the Concrete Vinyl Liner Pool consists of G044 Limestone selected from the Gappsi Stone Collection. A two-inch thick coping for the pool and a french pattern for the patio was used. To add to the outdoor of the home and to help enjoy those warm summer nights Gappsi built a sitting wall for the firepit area perfect for roasting marshmallows while catching fireflies!

Basketball Sports Game Courts

Gappsi also built a 60×40 basketball sports game courts in the backyard.  We are Long Island’s Basketball Sports Game Courts Installation Expert serving Nassau and Suffolk County NY.

Gappsi can satisfy any application criteria or professional specifications for recreational activity a customer has.  This basketball sports game court offers an adjustable sports net in the center and this allows the court to be used for more than just basketball.  

Sports Game Courts Tiles – Polypropylene Floors

Polypropylene tiles are what Gappi uses to create the Sports Game Courts.  The home in Centereach used one stripe with white and two-tone tiles. The gray for the field and black for the border and the keys. We also striped two shuffleboards one on each side of the court.

Our Sports Game Court’s are an excellent multi-sport athletic surface, appropriate for a wide variety of backyard and recreational activities. Newly designed for excellent traction and low abrasion, Gappsi provides outstanding performance at an economical price and delivers years of durable, safe play.

Gappsi Sports Game Courts backyard basketball court removes all those concerns!  A sports court also provides a convenient spot for your kids to engage in regular, daily practice if they decide to play sports for their local basketball team or club.

Synthetic Grass Turf

In the surrounding area of the pool patio and the basketball court, Gappsi installed synthetic grass turf.  Synthetic grass manufacturers have been designing better artificial turf.  As modern technology has allowed plastic grass to be made more realistic. Fake grass might sound not as natural, but wait til you consider the benefits that synthetic grass turf.  It gives to the environment you might come to realize something different.  Artificial grass is better than natural grass.  Consider the maintenance of running lawn movers through your backyard and running water to keep it green.

Synthetic grass cost is based on the size of the job and also the degree of difficulty for the synthetic turf installation. The turf is used for putting greens, dog runs, or hills where the real grass would not grow. Synthetic grass turf putting greens and artificial lawns are becoming more popular because of the little maintenance they offer.  In areas such as the Southwest where the weather is very hot and water is scarce Synthetic grass lawns are very popular and more accepted. Many high-rise rooftops use fake grass turf and also small residential backyards have adopted this revolutionary product.
