Side barriers catch the shots that a plain net misses, which is what makes a 10.7 ft by 10 ft by 7.4 ft cage usable in a backyard next to a fence or a window. A 4.9 ft by 2.8 ft target cloth carries an aiming pattern for feedback on strike location, and tear-resistant netting absorbs ball speed without damaging the ball. A reinforced metal frame with ground stakes holds the structure steady on grass or indoors, and a carrying bag is included. Assembly required; net weight 27 lbs.
