Suggestions on outdoor hitting cages?

[Mahomezy]

Moving into my first home soon and am planning on putting a cage in the backyard.

I will set it up next to the patio and then likely put a mat on the edge of the concrete right in front of the cage. Then in due time, get a launch monitor like a mevo+.

What are some good, weather proof, golf cages? I want something that I can leave outside and keep in one stationary spot.

I’ve been pondering this same question for a while as I have a space in the yard where the previous owner parked a boat. It’s perfect for a golf cage/outdoor sim.

I bought a 10x10x10 cage setup on Amazon that unfortunately died during a snowstorm. Snow managed to build up on the top and then tip over breaking one of the corner pieces.

I’m reusing the actual net and target from the kit and got a much burlier cage setup. Amazon sells the corners and the poles are 10’ sections of 1” electrical conduit you buy from Home Depot or Lowe’s. https://a.co/d/gfZkapp There’s a version that comes with a net https://a.co/d/99cSmVY

this has been working out well for me on my rooftop. I got some sandbags that you attach to fold out tents to make sure the wind and whatnot wont mess with it.

I’m very happy with my Spornia net. One word of caution about leaving them up 24/7. Wind and sun will take their toll. Even though you’d think wind will easily pass through the netting, a good breeze will tip them over even if you have them spiked to the ground. The Spornia is so easy to flatten, you just take out 2 poles, which lessens the possibility of it getting blown over, but the sun did some damage to fabric parts. Again, it is very easy to take down and put inside the house or garage. To prevent further sun damage, I only use mine inside the garage now.

Love the roof setup

Just a thought.

I had a bunch of electrical conduit that wasn't getting used. I went to Lowe's and purchased some connector fittings. Put together, it made a 10 X10 X10 foot hitting box.

The netting came from a war surplus store. It's pretty strong stuff and will last a long time.

I used metal shower curtain clips to hang the netting.

My hitting mat was actually two pieces of sod. I wanted to hit off real grass, but didn't want to tear up my own lawn. Sod was a recurring expense of about $10 a month. I used two pieces. One for my stance, and one hit balls off. Since, as a sweeper of the ball, I didn't tend to tear the sod up too fast with divots.

The last thing I did was to hang a thick piece material over the ball impact area on the net. I used a couple of cheap bath towels.

I used this set up for several years. (15+/-) I have no idea how many 1000s of balls I hit into the net. Mostly irons, but metal woods worked too.

It also doubled as Tee Ball swing net for my Daughters as they made their ways through their softball playing years. Also made a decent catcher's back stop for pitching practice.

Back then, if I had to purchase the conduit, I would've spent about $120 on everything. At today's prices, maybe double that.
