A batting cage frame is a long-term investment, and it should be serviceable rather than disposable. Cimarron Sports has manufactured batting cage frames since 1995 using top-of-the-line, never-recycled materials, and stocks the individual components so a frame can be repaired instead of replaced.
Ordering direct from the manufacturer means the part matches the original specification — the same tubing dimensions, the same fittings, the same fit.
Wear points are fairly predictable: the corner fittings that carry the most load, ground stakes and anchors exposed to weather, and the net attachment hardware that cycles every time a net comes down. Keeping a few spares on hand means a frame never sits unusable waiting on a shipment.
