Gill Portable Shot Cage

The Gill Portable Shot Cage adds a critical safety barrier around the shot put ring and can be deployed or stored as needed, making it ideal for programs that share facilities or host multi-event meets. Four aluminum net poles support a tall netting wall that contains off-target throws, while a steel base on wheels rolls into position and weights down with the included jugs for a stable, secure setup.

Key features & specs:

• Four 6063-T6 aluminum net poles
• #42A knotless nylon netting with 180 lb break strength
• Net height of 13'6" for effective throw containment
• A500 Grade B steel base equipped with wheels
• Weighted with sand or water; five 5-gallon jugs with gray vinyl covers included
• 5-year warranty

Coach's tip: Fill all the ballast jugs before use so the base stays put during throws, and position the netting between the ring and any bystanders. Check the net for wear each season and store the cage dry to protect the poles and base from corrosion.
