Was looking to see if Tom would be gracious enough to share the overall dimensions of his Hitting Net set up? Appears to be about 1 1/2 - 2 inch PVC? What size is the frame and the length of support legs? I take it the banner in back aside from advertising also gives better feedback as to impact? How does it hold up in the wind though? Anchored somehow I am sure. thanks in advance

All done and ready to roll. Just in time for Tom's new program and trainings. Exciting
Waiting on the netting to arrive. Thanks Tom
Hi Tom....
Ok I am starting to build the Hitting Net model you use in videos. Got basic concept of construction..........have purchased the pvc and connectors...Any chance you would have a moment to take a couple of pictures showing the "connections" particularly in the back support area and ground cross members? Thanks in advance.
Still working on this project Tom. Can you tell me how far from the strike zone is the net? thanks much
The net is a DIY job. It is approximately 7’ tall and 8’ wide. We used this video as a starting point - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p11qs4E2T0 - and then made some other minor PVC support structure modifications to suit our needs. We did not use PVC cement as this allows us to easily disassemble it if necessary. The netting we used is 10' x 10' golf cage impact net purchased from Amazon, and it differs from the screening material in the video. (By the way, if using a net like we did you probably won’t need the screw hooks that are mentioned in the video – bungees should suffice.)
The banner was primarily for marketing purposes, though I suppose it does provide some audible feedback as well. As for anchoring, I suppose a couple of concrete blocks on the rear bottom cross piece would work just fine. I just lay the net down in advance if I know it's going to be windy, although it's been blown over several times without any damage.
