Backstop Poles Installed

Today six 50 foot poles were set behind the existing backstop fencing. The poles were set into 10 foot holes, aligned and then cement was poured to secure their positions. This is the first step in the backstop project but already it looks great.

Not sure how long the current backstop fence has been in place but seems like more than 20 years. The fence backstop is just too short and we have way too many foul balls leave the playing field into the parking lot. Over the last couple of years we have had about 11 windows shattered.

The next step is to dig the footing for the above ground brick wall. The netting from the top of the poles will attach to the brick wall.

Lots to do yet but things are really starting off fantastically.

Backstop Netting Project

This week we begin work on adding a new backstop. This will be a huge project and will add to the luster of our facility. We will be installing a brick wall backstop incorporating six 50 foot poles into the wall. Attached to the wall will be a 40 foot high net. This netting will stretch from the third base dugout to the first base dugout.

We will be setting this wall about 50 feet behind home plate allowing us to open up the field in the foul area along first, third and behind home plate. The netting will not only better protect cars and spectators but will provide a much better view of the game for the fans.

This should be an outstanding addition to Trout Park Baseball for next season.
