Yes, a box fram with no footing will slide. The 1" pipe gets bounded into the ground, flush and yje framework poles slide in. Easy to remove the entire frame and ground spike if needed (ad we had to do for a patio expansion. I'll post some pics for better explanation.Thanks. My friend did this and says it slips and slides on the grass and she doesn't like it, she thought it needs to be on concrete or mat (former college pitcher).
Joel, where do you buy your netting? Light filtering and the 10x10I used structural galvanized steel pipe and associated fittings (can be found at most Lowes stores). 3/4" for uprights and cross beams. Cut, tapered and pounded into the ground 1" pipe so the cage could be disassembled in the winter. Sections of 10x10 netting with the edges wrapped together with rope to make larger sections is cheaper than one large section. For a backstop, I used light filtering netting. It's stronger than regular netting, heavy enough that it drops a ball quickly, and gives less distraction behind the plate.
