HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW A RETRACTABLE BATTING CAGE GOES UP?

Start with a really big empty space

Layout the framework where the net will go

Hang the lift sysetm from the ceiling, and don't look down.
The pipe that holds the cables turns and winds the cable
around, raising the net.

Fasten the frames to the lift system and make sure it stays level

Layout the nets, and DON'T get them tangled! (yes, I have)

Fasten the nets to the frame (Boooor - Riiiing)

ALL DONE!

A PERFECT FIT!

And just minutes later Michael from Westport gets the first swings (after his drills of course)
