There is little rebound to hit.

When the net 14 needs to be repaired, the first frame 11 or the second frame 12 is repaired.
The portion of the net 14 that needs to be repaired can be easily repaired by folding. Even in the case where the net 14 has to be removed and repaired, the net 14 is connected to the first frame 11 and the second frame 12.
Because it is suspended inside, it can be easily removed by removing the suspended part.

Further, when the sports cage 1 is stored, it can be folded and stored, so that the storage space can be reduced. Also, in the case of transport, by folding it, it is possible to reduce the necessary space and transport without dismantling.

The sports cage of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the embodiment, the height of the first frame 11 and the second frame 12
And the height is different, but may be the same height, and the entire size is not limited to the above embodiment. Also, the net 14 is suspended from both ends of the net 14 from the frame 11b and the frame 12b (this point is the same as in the above embodiment), and is passed from the frame 11a to the frame 12a. The center of the net 14 may be hung from the center of the rope.
When the framework 11 and the second framework 12 are folded, they can be folded as they are. Further, the base frame 13
The pair of long sides 13a, 13a are configured to be stretchable,
The size of the sports cage 1 may be changed according to the location where the sports cage 1 is arranged. Other points can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
