Claim:
A method of installing door unit in a batting cage, comprising the steps of: placing a doorway structure of the access door unit in a free-standing self-supporting orientation adjacent to a net of a batting cage at a desired location where the access door unit will be installed; cutting a generally elongated vertical hole into a portion of the net generally centrally-located within the perimeter of the doorway structure in order to start to open the net to provide a doorway passage through the net; trimming and slitting vertical opposite side and horizontal top marginal portions of the net about the vertical hole being located within the perimeter of the doorway structure; folding around and attaching the vertical opposite side and horizontal top marginal portions of the net to the adjacent portions of the doorway structure thereby defining a passage through the batting cage net; and mounting a door to the doorway structure across a passage defined through the doorway structure so as to enable opening and closing of the door relative to the doorway structure to provide entry and exit through the passage of the doorway structure.
