  • Indoor Lacrosse Fence & Barrier Nets | Grand Slam Safety

The fast game of ball handling and athletic endurance has become a staple sport in many high schools and colleges across the county. In fact, the youth faction might be the largest contingent as seasonal camps and leagues become an alternative to other sports. 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. With that in mind, safety should be a high priority for athletic directors, recreational departments and other entities that organize events for box lacrosse.

  • 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

  • Indoor Batting Cage Nets & Systems | Grand Slam Safety

    INDOOR BATTING CAGES BASEBALL BATTING CAGE NETTING Athletes committed to greatness don’t limit their training days to when the weather’s nice and sunny — instead, they maintain a type of year-round dedication that requires the ideal equipment and space. Indoor batting cages allow softball and baseball players to practice all year round to keep their skills and techniques sharp for next season. When you’re ready to advance your facility with an indoor batting cage setup, Grand Slam Safety is here to help maximize your playable indoor field space. Our experts will work with your specific requirements from beginning to end to deliver the perfect solution. Indoor batting cage systems are invaluable for athletes of all ages and experience levels. ​ You can incorporate indoor batting cages into an area’s layout or rely on portable options that are easy to set up and deconstruct when necessary. Both the retractable and stationary netting options give you the flexibility and freedom to host other events or remain dedicated to batting practices. CALL US Types of Indoor Batting Cages & Indoor Batting Tunnels Indoor Vertical Lift Batting Cages VISTA indoor batting cages are great for multi-use facilities if you want to maximize your space and offer training in a full cage. After a batting session is over, you can raise the netting to restore the area for other activities like soccer games, field hockey practices and ultimate frisbee tournaments. Stationary Batting Cages Stationary batting cages are permanent indoor fixtures that attach to your walls and surrounding areas. The durable netting can create batting cages and tunnels for indoor baseball facilities and other recreational activities. Grand Slam's stationary batting cages use a sleeved pole system that allow you to have a free standing netted batting cage. This batting cage system is suspended from poles that fit into sleeves in the floor surface, much like poles for an in-floor volleyball net system. You can disassemble and store the system when necessary, which takes just a few minutes with the work of two or more people. These types of batting cages are useful in dome athletic facilities or other building structures where suspending a cage is not feasible. Custom Batting Cages Custom batting cages are ideal when you need a full solution that matches your precise demands. Our professionals can build tailored batting cages to your specifications for indoor sports sites. Customization allows you to be a part of the process by explaining what will fit best with your facility. ​ Our team will take your requests into account and construct an enclosure that parallels the necessary dimensions of your facility — baseball netting that fits perfectly into your existing design. ​ Whether you need a retractable, stationary or customizable portable indoor batting cage system, together we can find a solution that works with your space. INDOOR BATTING CAGE DESIGN​ Deciding on your indoor batting cage dimensions for softball & baseball can depend on the size of space you have available, your budget and the experience level and size of the players you accommodate. The typical size of a batting cage net is 70 feet long by 14 feet wide by 12 feet high. This standard allows enough room for players to avoid creating back-swing contact with the netting. When it comes to an athlete’s size, the distance between the pitcher’s mound and home plate can differ. For example, various mound-to-plate distances include 38, 44, 54 and about 60 feet, starting at a range for beginners up to professionals: Batting cage length: The standard length for an indoor batting cage is 70 feet. It’s an adequate amount of space for the pitcher to store equipment such as portable mounds, ball machines and ball carts. The length also allows for plenty of room between the pitcher and batter, according to particular regulations for different age groups. Batting cage width: Indoor baseball netting has a standard width between 12 and 14 feet. If a coach works with younger children, a 12-foot wide tunnel is ideal, although bat lengths and wing-spans can vary between kids. In other cases, a 14-foot wide cage is more common and comfortable for athletes of all sizes. Batting cage height: The typical height of batting netting is 12 feet. About one foot of extra mesh is necessary to sag on the ground to contain stray balls. So, 11 feet is available as playable height. The taller the cage, the better, as an athlete’s experience increases. If you opt for an indoor batting cage design that has a shorter netting height, it can work in most situations. But be aware that shorter cages can reduce ball flight tracking for coaches dedicated to improving their players' technique. The mesh will knock down the ball quicker, preventing the player from knowing where to focus his or her hitting. Lower cage heights can also reduce the lifespan of the netting because of its proximity to the bat and ball. Tunnels with shorter lengths may be ideal for coaches who want to work on soft-tossing for a player’s hand-eye coordination. The space is better for focusing on specific techniques and can also save money. However, a larger cage is better for players to grow into. Teams can also use the extra space to store their equipment. Wider and taller batting cages allow players to track their ball flights more efficiently, helping them improve their batting.

Proper batting cage installation and setup is crucial. When you rely on the experts for your baseball batting cage nets, you receive benefits such as: Tensioned bottom: Decrease the amount of excess slack within a cage’s netting to eliminate tripping, while also preventing balls from rolling underneath. Dividing net: Transform your softball or baseball batting cages into one or two areas to maximize your available space. A removable center divider can boost practicing capabilities without sacrificing safety. Open weave: The open weave material offers incredible visibility for coaches, teammates, spectators and parents who want to watch the action inside the cage. Recessed pole: When a bat comes in contact with a pitched ball, the bat sends it flying into the outfield, or batting cage, with a lot of strength behind it. To keep everyone inside the cage safe, you can rely on recessed poles, in our stationary cages, to reduce the rebound effect of batted balls. Unique soft toss area: The design of your cage becomes multi-functional with recessed poles that form exterior areas for athletes. Players can use the space for soft toss, even when others are inside the area. REQUEST QUOTE The GRAND SLAM SAFETY Indoor Batting Cage Difference Batting cages also suit right or left-handed batters without having to move the plate.

A hydraulic lift was utilized to ensure the drop height of the medicine ball could be adjusted accurately. ​ Four different locations of both the SPECTO® fence and the chain-link fence were tested for impact: ​ Cable/Horizontal Post (middle section of the tension cable for the SPECTO® fences and the middle section of the horizontal pole for the chain link fence) Panel (the center of third fence panel from the foul pole) Edge Panel (the center of the fence panel closest to the foul pole) Hook and loop Seam/Chain Link Post (in the middle of the SPECTO® fence hook and loop seam and the middle of the vertical chain link post) ​ SPECTO® testing at The Center for Athletic Safety, University of Tennessee, Play Video Facebook Twitter Pinterest Tumblr Copy Link Link Copied Safety Testing Conclusions ​ Running into a SPECTO® fencing system absorbs more of the impact forces compared to the chain link The F355 E missile were not used on the chain link fence due to the values being too high and the potential for damaging the F355E missile device; however, the values would be much higher then those found on the SPECTO® fences One of the NFL Mandatory Practices that all wall padding surrounding playing field has to be below 100 Gmax with the CIST, all SPECTO® system fences were below the NFL standard for wall padding surrounding the playing field When using a SPECTO® outfield fence system, athletes may no longer worry about risking an injury when running into the outfield fence ​ The entire report can be viewed upon request by contacting us. We’d be happy to discuss how the SPECTO® systems can benefit the safety of your athletes. ​
