How to build a Golf Cage | Kaizen Golf Cage Assembly Instructions

So you want the best Golf Cage

If you are after the ultimate golf net set up, then it will be hard to go past a Golf Cage. Hitting golf balls from a fully enclosed cage ensures that basically nothing will go wrong - skied drives, hossel rockets, worm burners...we've all done it.  

And of all the Golf Cage products on offer in Australia, we really believe that our Kaizen Golf Cage is the best product out there.

Not only do we offer a archery baffle screen that is far stronger and more durable than the standard impact netting you will find on other offerings, our adjustable T-bar design creates a gap between the baffle and the back bars of the cage, to create extra safety from any stray shots. 

However, compared to our other golf net products in our range, golf cages do take a bit more work to get set up. Also the build will be a 2 man job, so make sure you've got an extra pair of hands to help. 

In this article, we provide a step by step guide on how you can set up your Kaizen Golf Cage, from the very beginning to the end. This article should be read together with our detailed installation guide that comes with the product. If you follow these instructions, you should be able to start hitting balls within an hour. 

What's in the box

Our golf cage comes in 2 boxes and contain everything you need to build your Kaizen Golf Cage:

• Cage Frame - Powder coated steel frame corners and poles for constructing your frame.
• Foam insulation protection padding for the entire frame covering all poles.
• Cage enclosure netting - using dense UV treated black #252 netting
• Super Heavy Duty Archery Netting Impact Baffle - Heavy duty archery baffle is hung on a separate cross-bar. The material is extremely heavy duty, no matter what club you hit, the ball will hit the baffle and drop straight down. You will be impressed with this baffle!
• 2 x sandbags for weighing the cage down in case of windy conditions.

Installation Instructions

So you've now laid out all the parks, let's get building! 

In general, there are a couple of things to follow:

1. It's a 2 man job - it's much much easier with an extra pair of hands - we speak from experience.

2. Start with the top - build the top of the cage first then work your way down. See steps below.

3. Use detailed instructions included - they are a lot more detailed.

Below are step-by-step instructions -  

1. Insulate the poles

Get your all your poles protected by wrapping them using foam insulation. They should come already wrapped, but please do this step just in case some are unwrapped. 

2. Install the Top

Complete the 'roof' of the cage by 

1. Installing the cross-bar by taking out the 2 poles which have a 90 degree angular tube sticking out (part E), and connect them using a 3m pole.

2. Installing the front and back poles using 3-way corners.

3. Side Bars

We recommend installing 2 bars at a time - this is the step where a helper really comes in handy!

Pro tip: As the 3m poles come in 1.5m sections, it might be easier to connect all 4 sides with 1.5m poles first then extend them out to the full height of 3m. 

Starting to look like a golf cage!

4. Bottom Bars

Install the bottom bars of the cage using 2-way corners at the front and 3-way corners at the back. Use an insulated pipe for the bottom back bar.

Your frame is now complete and you are now ready to hang the net.

5. Install the enclosure netting

Hang the enclosure netting inside the frame, pay attention to coloured tabs on the netting. 

Red tabs indicate the front of the net.

Use toggles included to tighten the net to the frame. You can use additional bungee cords or cable ties to tighten it more and achieve a neater look if you wish.

6. Hang the Archery Baffle

Hang the Archery Baffle to the cross-bar using included toggles. 

And your Golf Cage is done! Time to hit some balls!

So this is how you install the Kaizen Golf Cage Kit, if you follow these instructions, it should take roughly an hour to put one together. 

Once it's up and running, you can look forward to hours and hours of working on your golf swing with complete safety.

And if you have a golf launch monitor, you can opt for an upgrade with our white archery baffle impact screen for an additional $50 (see photo below) or hang one of our impact screens and instantly turn this cage into a golf simulator enclosure!
