What You Need

To build a hitting net, you will need the following supplies:
-4 PVC pipes (10 feet in length each)
-1 PVC pipe (6 feet in length)
-PVC pipe cutter
-PVC T-joints (6)
-PVC elbow joints (4)
-Zip ties
-Tape measure
-Drill
-1/2 inch drill bit

First, cut the four 10 foot PVC pipes into six equal sections using the PVC pipe cutter. Next, cut the 6 foot PVC pipe into four equal sections. Then, attach the T-joints to the ends of three of the 6 foot sections of PVC pipe.

Step 1: Choose The Right Location

Building a baseball hitting net is a great way to practice your hitting without having to go to the batting cages. It is also a lot cheaper to build your own hitting net than it is to buy one. Here are the steps on how to build a baseball hitting net.

Step 1: Choose The Right Location
The first step in building a baseball hitting net is choosing the right location. You want to choose a location that is close to your house so you can easily get to it and close enough to an outlet so you can plug in the lights at night. You also want to make sure that the location you choose has good drainage so the water does not pool around the hitting net.

Step 2: Clear The Area
Once you have chosen the perfect location, the next step is to clear the area. You want to make sure that there are no obstacles in the way of where you will be building the hitting net. This includes removing any rocks, roots, or sticks that might be in the way. If there are any trees in the way, you may need to cut them down.

Step 3: Build The Frame Of The Hitting Net
The next step in building a baseball hitting net is creating the frame of the net. You will need 4 metal poles that are each 6 feet tall. You will also need 2 crossbars that are each 4 feet long. Once you have all of your materials, you will need to connect the poles together with the crossbars using metal brackets.

Step 4: Hang The Netting On The Frame
The next step is to hang the netting on the frame of the hitting net. You want to make sure that you leave enough slack in the netting so that it can move when a ball hits it. You also want to make sure that you secure

Step 2: Set Up The Frame

The§2\times 4$pieces should be cut at a 45 degree angle using a miter saw so that when they are fit together they make a 90 degree angle (as shown in the first picture). The two shorter$2\times 4$pieces should be cut at about 52 inches and the two longer$2\times 4$pieces should be cut at about 60 inches. These pieces will make up the four legs of the frame.

Once the pieces are cut, use wood glue and 3 inch wood screws to attach the$2\times 4$pieces together to create a rectangle (as shown in the second picture). Make sure to predrill holes for the screws so that you don’t split the wood. It is also a good idea to put something at the bottom of the legs so that they don’t split when you put weight on them (we used some scrap pieces of plywood).

Step 3: Attach The Netting

Secure the netting to the frame with zip ties, starting at the middle of each side and working your way out. Be sure to pull the netting taut as you go to avoid sagging. When you reach the corners, make sure the netting is flush with the frame and cut off any excess.

Step 4: Add The Base

Now that the frame is complete, it’s time to add the base. This can be done by attaching four 2x4s to the bottom of the frame using wood screws. You may want to predrill the holes for the screws to make sure they go in easily. Once the base is attached, you can add sand or gravel to weight it down and keep it from tipping over.
