INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Nylon netting will tear, fray, or break from normal use or abuse. Before each time it
is used, check entire net for holes worn in net or any signs of wear or abuse. Repair
these worn areas immediately before using. Call JUGS toll free at 800-547-6843 for
assistance and repair materials.
Do not allow anyone to stand any closer than six (6) feet from
the outside edge of the net. Allow only one batter and one
machine operator (or pitcher) in the net at one time. Operator
(or pitcher) must use a protective screen and wear a batting
helmet for safety.
ATTENTION!
DO NOT secure the bottom of your net to the ground in any manner. This will
significantly decrease the useful life of your net and voids the warranty.
Your JUGS Net must be installed to JUGS specifications as described in the
installation instructions. Failing to do so voids the warranty.
Any knots with trailing ends that may be present in our batting cage net are a
result of a new spool of twine being loaded, tied and knotted to the spool of twine
already in the net loom. This occurs in the manufacturing of all knotted nylon and
in no way diminishes the integrity of your net.

CEILING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
•JUGS INDOOR BATTING CAGE•
NOTE: The height of your eye bolts may be different than the diagram, depending on the height of your gymnasium. It is
suggested to place your eye bolts as close as possible to the CEILING. Then adjust the lengths of your vertical cables to
allow the net to hang with 1' to 1/2' of netting on the gym floor.
Check contents to make sure you have all needed parts:
(6) eye bolts, (3) 100' cable lengths, (30) 30' cable lengths, (35) metal snap rings, (6) turnbuckles, (6) steel pulleys, (66) cable
clamps, and (35) plastic snap hooks.
1. Attach
the eye bolts to your gym walls. Arrange
these eye bolts at each end of your gym, in the
following manner.
4. Attach the vertical cables this way:
Important: Attach the vertical cable lengths to metal snap
rings before snapping onto horizontal cables at CEILING.
8. To
store your net, simply slide it along the
cables to side wall.

that you allow for the slope of the net (middle of
the net higher than sides) and allowing for 11/2' to
rest on gym floor.

Poly-Dac rope to the vertical cables by opening
the snap hook and inserting the rope. This should
be done every 7' (for 70' cage).
HOW TO ATTACH YOUR CABLES
TO THE EYE BOLTS
1. Cut the cable to the appropriate length.
2. Slide two eye pulleys onto each of the three cables.
3. Run one end of your cable through the turnbuckle and secure
using cable clamp. Tape end of cable to prevent fraying.
4. Hook turnbuckle on to eye bolt extending from the wall or
frame section.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 at opposite end.
6. Tighten the turnbuckles at each end of the cable to provide
tension to hold up the net.

Your vertical cables
will need to extend to

Note: You should provide for extra cable length when setting up
initially. You can always cut off excess cable if not needed.
Note: The “slope” of the net
is important. The center of the
net, for its entire length, is 12'
high. The sides of the net are
only 101/2' high, leaving 18" of
net on your gym floor to keep
batted balls inside the
enclosed area.

1. The cables should be placed and tightened to your frame
sections or walls.
2. Stretch out your net on the ground underneath the cables.
3. Starting at one end, while on a ladder or platform, have
your partner hand up to you the end of the net.
4. Attach the rope border, on top of the net, to the vertical
cables by opening the snap hooks and putting the rope
inside. Repeat this every 7' having your partner continue to
“feed” you the net until one side is completed.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the middle and opposite side cable.
Note: You should have to go up and down the ladder only three
times, once for each of the cables.
