FAQ
Is this discus cage suitable for sanctioned competition?
Yes. At 55 feet wide and 16.5 feet tall, this cage is designed to meet standard dimensional requirements for sanctioned high school and collegiate discus events. Always verify compliance with your specific governing body (NFHS, NCAA, USATF) before competition use, as specific requirements can vary.
Does this cage require professional installation?
The cage uses a ground sleeve system, which involves setting the six 30-inch sleeves into the ground (typically in concrete) and then inserting the angled poles. This type of installation is best handled by a qualified contractor or facilities crew familiar with athletic equipment anchoring to ensure proper alignment and safety.
What is the 504 Barrier Net made of, and how durable is it?
The 504 Barrier Net is a heavy-duty net designed specifically to contain discus throws in competitive and practice settings. Fisher Athletic manufactures their nets for institutional use, meaning they are built to withstand repeated impacts and outdoor exposure. For specific net material or weight specifications, contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com.
Can this cage be disassembled and moved after installation?
This cage is designed as a permanent installation using in-ground sleeves. While the poles and net can be removed from the sleeves for maintenance or relocation, the sleeves themselves are set into the ground and are not intended for frequent relocation. If portability is a priority, contact us to discuss alternative options.
