Backyard Batting Net - Setup - 50 ft X 25 ft

[4xtra]

Backyard batting net

Netting: 50 ft wide X 25 Ft height
Used the existing trees as support posts
Used Climbing rope for support
Used a power drill with screws as anchors
Also used Zip ties to support the net when the net was raised up

Used a 5lb weight tied to the rope
to throw over the larger branches for support
Used NO LADDERS or scaffolding.

Took about 4 hours to set up and adjust
May raise the height of the net later
I am hitting off of a porch that sits on top of a sloped surface.
The net is behind a fence and the fence sits on the bottom of a slope.

update:
The net is holding up fine but I am going to add another net to double the netting.
Since the net can be lowered and raised very quickly this will not be a problem...

I wish I had taken pictures of my emergency backyard breaking in a bat set up from a few years ago. Tee was a parking cone. Net was a $5.00 tarp from big lots.
