Here are two styles of batting cages to choose from: the 'shoe-box' style and the trapezoid. Both styles have your great advantages, it all depends on your needs, space, and budget. Style 1: The Trapezoid Style
The trapezoid is a free-standing batting cage. Its shape is 10 feet at the top and 14.5 feet at the bottom which gives the cage stability while being completely portable and allows more flexibility if you have limited space. You can set up the batting cage in 30 minutes and when you're done you can tear it down and pack it up.  The Trapezoid model is the perfect batting cage for the budget conscious buyer without sacrificing quality: a great batting cage for a great price.
Style 2: The Shoe-box Style
The shoe-box style is a large rectangle—the standard batting cage shape—like a shoebox. It is a more permanent installation and gives the batter more room to swing.  The shoe box is an excellent choice for a high-end backyard cage and will also hold up in a commercial setting.
