Hell yeah!!!!My advice is to hang deer stands around the cage.
I was picking up our moving boxes last night from the planned cage space and thinking the same thing, "man I hope this doesn't turn into a junk collection spot."
That is awesome! Couple of questions. Right now our pitching coach is having us focus on fundamentals and throwing as hard as she can. I would say she is a strike about every 5th ball(2 months into lessons). I love the idea of this screen so I don't have to sit on the bucket, but feel it might focus too much too early on aiming and not just throwing. What are your thoughts on when they should be focusing on throwing strikes or does this just come? I have read that. Also, what is the purpose of the numbers on the screen? Thanks for this awesome set up. I have a perfect place for something just like this, but getting the hubby to do it!
knightsb, can't wait to see the picture of all of the leaves on top of the cage. LOL That was some outstanding thinking there. I wonder how long you were thinking about it before you put that plan in to action? Funny thing you mention deer and rabbits like nibbling on the cage. At our HS, when I tried to keep the net up until late fall for the players to hit in summer and fall, I found out the same thing. Finding a dead rabbit or... in the cage is never a good thing. I did what you did by raising the net and found out that I sometimes found dead birds. I hope you don't have that fate. Very impressive effort. BTW, don't drink beer but love a good glass of ice tea. Can I invite myself if I stop by and get a cold Ice tea?
I agree that the back yard cage was the BEST investment ever. Always had a pitching area. THe cage increased DD's batting average by over 100 points almost immediately. I am in the process of adding additional lighting at the house now.
Joe, what a great area you have.
CB, stop by anytime... always have a cold pitcher of Iced Tea.... are you a sweet tea fan or unsweetened?
