"In the very recent past, even two years ago, those batting cages would have been either left open to the weather or covered by a steel and wood structure. More and more, major facility managers are choosing fabric over steel structures for the two primary advantages: cost and aesthetics. The experiences we had with the recent hurricanes reinforced the incredible durability and flexibility of fabric architecture. "In addition, this job is a perfect example of the synergy between our long-established athletic equipment division and our newer ShadeZone(R) fabric structure division. This customer needed a permanent fabric structure, one that was up to the visual and structural standards of a major ballpark. They also needed two professional quality batting cages. BP International could give them everything they needed, and we had the ability to integrate the frame structure so that it holds the batting cage netting and supports the custom-fabricated waterproof fabric tops. If they had had to go to different manufacturers for the different products, that wouldn't have been possible. The end result is not only very cost efficient, it is extremely attractive."
