Many indoor athletic facilities are looking to create usable space for indoor lacrosse practices and games. This fast-pace game, with its quick ball movement and high-speed shooting is great fun to play or watch.

  • Who We Are | Grand Slam Safety

    WHO WE ARE OUR STORY It all started in Northern New York In the winter of 2008 the President of the Beaver River Central School Booster club approached Bob Lyndaker, who had a son playing on the high school baseball team. “Bob, what do you think about putting up an outfield fence?” the president asked. Bob's reply, “I think it's a great idea...as long as it's safe.” That began the journey of looking for a fence that he felt would be safe enough for his son's team. After countless hours of dead-end searches for products that allowed playability for both the outfielders and the batters, Bob came up empty handed. The outfield fences that he did find were either too dangerous or too flimsy for outfielders to run up against. Also, these fences were set so far back (again for outfielder safety) that a batter could never even dream of hitting a true “home-run”. It then occurred to Bob that if the fence that the school wanted didn't exist, maybe he could make one! All that spring and summer Bob began late nights of working the math, the angles, and the mechanics. This led to more late nights of design and prototype production in his basement and garage. Quite literally he was designing a fence from the ground up. After running the idea by some engineers and getting their approval he felt that he had something that would work. ​ Bob gathered a few friends to discuss the idea and show them a prototype he had created. Before he knew it four friends were forging a partnership to design and manufacture a baseball fence. Bob was joined by Mickey Lehman, whose daughter played on the girl's softball team, and by Dave Moore, whose son played alongside Bob's son on the baseball team. Another Bob; Bob Chamberlian, joined in as well. He had been the cross-country coach for the school as well as a teacher there. Together these men formed the partnership that today is Grand Slam Safety, LLC. With a fence, some friends, and a lot of support from family and the school, the partners installed the first full size prototype fence at Beaver River Central School in July of 2009. Over the rest of the summer they tested, tweaked and tried new ideas. That winter, those ideas were incorporated into what would be known as the “Safety Fence”. When the spring baseball season of 2010 came, the students of Beaver River had a state of the art (and the worlds first) “Safety Fence”, by Grand Slam Safety, LLC. As the Baseball/Softball Fencing System developed, and other schools started to hear about it, the partners soon realized that the fencing system wasn't just a good idea – it was a good business. Soon they were filling orders for other schools who wanted fences. The idea was catching on; and with the fences being so easily customized to each field's dimensions and needs, the partners quickly realized the potential to go beyond just baseball/softball fields. ​ Soon a partnership was formed with SlamDiabetesTM to provide outfield fencing for their fund-raising plastic bat-n-ball Tournaments. Development was started on a Tennis Court Containment System to provide safety for players and view-ability for spectators. Next came the development of the Field House Containment System, which was first installed in the fall of 2014 at Accelerate Sports in Whitesboro, NY. Accelerate Sports was the first sports complex in the country to have this revolutionary new safety product. Over this time period Grand Slam Safety, LLC had outgrown Bob Lyndaker's garage, and even a small barn that Bob Chamberlain was providing. The partners knew it was time to open up a proper design and manufacturing facility. Committed to building up their hometown economy and keeping jobs local, the partners decided to buy an old production plant along the banks of the Beaver River in Croghan, NY. This 60,000 sq/ft facility was soon transformed into the working center of the Grand Slam Safety enterprise. Who would have known that when Bob Lyndaker started designing and sewing a fence in his basement, a dream was born that is taking root today. Grand Slam Safety is providing exceptional safe fencing products for sports and beyond while upholding a vision of growing the local economy and providing jobs for their community. Grand Slam Safety, LLC now has fences being installed in many different areas in the United States and has a sales office in the growing markets of Korea and Asia. From an idea to a reality - from our desire for quality and safety to your desire for craftsmanship and reliability – Grand Slam Safety is continuing to lead the way. Thank you to everyone who's cheered us on. We do this for you! MEET THE TEAM

As you plan your indoor baseball or softball facility layout, ask yourself a few questions to get started: Who will play at your facility? Will you host Little League games and practices, or are you aiming to attract high school and college teams? Will batting cages be incorporated into the space? Is this strictly a training facility, or will games and tournaments also be held there? Will there be places for spectators and parents to watch? How will that integrate into your space? INDOOR BASEBALL FIELD SIZE The size of your field depends on the age of the players you want to attract. Want to attract several age levels? You'll need the ability to vary the field size to accommodate different levels of play. ​ With our SPECTO® Perimeter Containment , you can stretch the playing field to the limits of your structural footprint. You can place our fencing as close as 30 inches to any structure and still provide a safe cradling effect when players run into it at full speed. Divider curtains and sport netting can split any space into multiple playing fields or a separate practice area, like a bullpen. INDOOR BATTING CAGES Indoor batting cages require a lot of vertical and horizontal space. Our team can customize batting cages to your available space. Our standard cages measure 70 feet long, 14 feet wide and 12 feet high. ​ We offer bottom lift cages, which collect the netting up from the bottom. Or, you can pull our batting cages horizontally on a track or cable, and stack the cages against a wall when not in use. ​ Batting cages work best in rooms with flat or sloped ceilings. You can configure the netting into one or two cages. Add a portable pitching mound to your indoor hitting and pitching facility, and give hitters and pitchers a better simulation of game situations. AREA FOR SPECTATORS Do you plan to host tournaments at your facility? A total containment system would be your best bet. This includes tensioned mesh SPECTO® fencing for the first 8 feet, then netting above that tied to the ceiling netting. This setup keeps balls and equipment on the field while letting spectators watch the game. In fact, with our SPECTO® fencing technology bordering your indoor turf field, fans can get right up against the fence without worrying about being injured by a stray ball. This provides the ultimate viewing area experience. ​ Do you have a balcony or upper deck for spectators? Our netting gives spectators a clear view on any level. When you stand back from the netting, it's nearly invisible to the eye, so it doesn't detract from watching the game.

  • The Grand Slam Safety Story | Grand Slam Safety

    OUR STORY IT ALL STARTED IN NORTHERN NEW YORK... In the winter of 2008 the President of the Beaver River Central School Booster club approached Bob Lyndaker, who had a son playing on the high school baseball team. “Bob, what do you think about putting up an outfield fence?” the president asked. Bob's reply, “I think it's a great idea...as long as it's safe.” That began the journey of looking for a fence that he felt would be safe enough for his son's team. After countless hours of dead-end searches for products that allowed playability for both the outfielders and the batters, Bob came up empty handed. The outfield fences that he did find were either too dangerous or too flimsy for outfielders to run up against. Also, these fences were set so far back (again for outfielder safety) that a batter could never even dream of hitting a true “home-run”. It then occurred to Bob that if the fence that the school wanted didn't exist, maybe he could make one! All that spring and summer Bob began late nights of working the math, the angles, and the mechanics. This led to more late nights of design and prototype production in his basement and garage. Quite literally he was designing a fence from the ground up. After running the idea by some engineers and getting their approval he felt that he had something that would work. ​ Bob gathered a few friends to discuss the idea and show them a prototype he had created. Before he knew it four friends were forging a partnership to design and manufacture a baseball fence. Bob was joined by Mickey Lehman, whose daughter played on the girl's softball team, and by Dave Moore, whose son played along side Bob's son on the baseball team. Another Bob; Bob Chamberlian, joined in as well. He had been the cross-country coach for the school as well as a teacher there. Together these men formed the partnership that today is Grand Slam Safety, LLC. With a fence, some friends, and a lot of support from family and the school, the partners installed the first full size prototype fence at Beaver River Central School in July of 2009. Over the rest of the summer they tested, tweaked and tried new ideas. That winter, those ideas were incorporated into what would be known as the “Safety Fence”. When the spring baseball season of 2010 came, the students of Beaver River had a state of the art (and the worlds first) “Safety Fence”, by Grand Slam Safety, LLC. As the Baseball/Softball Fencing System developed, and other schools started to hear about it, the partners soon realized that the fencing system wasn't just a good idea – it was a good business. Soon they were filling orders for other schools who wanted fences. The idea was catching on; and with the fences being so easily customized to each field's dimensions and needs, the partners quickly realized the potential to go beyond just baseball/softball fields. ​ Soon a partnership was formed with SlamDiabetesTM to provide outfield fencing for their fund-raising plastic bat-n-ball Tournaments. Development was started on a Tennis Court Containment System to provide safety for players and view-ability for spectators. Next came the development of the Field House Containment System, which was first installed in the fall of 2014 at Accelerate Sports in Whitesboro, NY. Accelerate Sports was the first sports complex in the country to have this revolutionary new safety product. Over this time period Grand Slam Safety, LLC had outgrown Bob Lyndaker's garage, and even a small barn that Bob Chamberlain was providing. The partners knew it was time to open up a proper design and manufacturing facility. Committed to building up their hometown economy and keeping jobs local, the partners decided to buy an old production plant along the banks of the Beaver River in Croghan, NY. This 60,000 sq/ft facility was soon transformed into the working center of the Grand Slam Safety enterprise. Who would have known that when Bob Lyndaker started designing and sewing a fence in his basement, a dream was born that is taking root today. Grand Slam Safety is providing exceptional safe fencing products for sports and beyond while upholding a vision of growing the local economy and providing jobs for their community. Grand Slam Safety, LLC now has fences being installed in many different areas in the United States and has a sales office in the growing markets of Korea and Asia. From an idea to a reality - from our desire for quality and safety to your desire for craftsmanship and reliability – Grand Slam Safety is continuing to lead the way. Thank you to everyone who's cheered us on. We do this for you! Timeline The Team

    CLIENT TESTIMONIALS To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key. Dominick Raucci - Parent Island Trees H.S. Levittown, Long Island, NY "Your fence is a lifesaver. I was at my son’s varsity game and a ball was hit over the right fielders head. He ran full speed and caught the ball and immediately hit the fence. He was running full speed and just bounced off the fence without a scratch. If it was a chain link or other type of fence that fell down he would have gotten seriously hurt. Other parents at the game were amazed he didn’t get hurt. I was impressed by the way the fence looked when it was installed but even more impressed by how safe it is."
