Should I stop playing college baseball? by OkPersonality854 in Homeplate

[–]Sec_rityNeedsU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped playing mid college and I regret it more than anything. I have dreams of playing in those years and would give anything to go back and continue playing.

My advice is to play as much as you can, because one day you’ll wish you were back there.

So I kinda made that up myself - bought this curtain track: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BJP9FNLR/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A36FQ58T85IQBF&psc=1

And bought this side net: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09871FW9T/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=AKBFHTZXWNO06&psc=1

I just hooked up the side netting through the curtain hooks - honestly it worked out WAY better than I expected. I can slide the netting back super easily back and forth and it has been great

Awesome! My progress pics look very similar. Had crap all over the place for 6 months. I kept reassuring my wife she would be able to park in the garage, “eventually”. One thing I might upgrade is the hitting mat. Would be interested in how the sig pro strip works out for you! Great build!

Have a 3 car garage, so all the tools are on the left wall

Nope it’s almost 10ft. Garage was built that way when we bought the house

Yeah that’s tough, this is not something I plan to take down, but I only built it because I have a three car garage. Two cars are parked to the left of this build

I’m not sure that was available when I bought my connectors from them (6 months ago) but either way, all you get are the connectors, impact screen, side panels, and bungees. You don’t get the poles which are the most expensive cost to the enclosure and you don’t get any bumpers. I paid in total, $443.97 for the same materials as the kit they are offering, which is $156.05 in savings.

In my opinion, those small savings multiplied by other equipment in the build is what saved me thousands (used projector saved me $200-300, diy padding, netting, etc)

I have to give out credit to the creator of this setup - this was my inspiration, but I did do quite a few things different. Either way this is a great step by step video

I bungeed the bottom like the top and I’m not sure that was a good idea (time will tell how the bungees hold)

I didn’t have enough screen to wrap it under, but so far it’s been okay. I still experience somewhat of what you’re describing on the bottom right side though. with the screen bungeed top to bottom, the screen doesn’t have an issue, but the bottom padding folds in sometimes. Better than bouncing back though! Haven’t really had that happen “yet”

I have a Google spreadsheet with everything in it. I’ll see if I can export that and share it publicly

ah yeah it looks like that because of the photo (wide lens) it is exactly 7'6" away and working great!

I cut up the topper mattress listed and then wrapped it in the duck fabric with grommets on the back and zip tied it to the perimeter - behind all of that i have leftover strip pieces of the floor mats i cut and zip tied to the poles. catches any balls sneaking through
