The questions everyone asks
How much room do I actually need?
As a rule: your cage footprint plus one club-length behind you, and at least 3m of height to swing a driver comfortably. If you're tight on height, the ProFlex at 8ft works with irons and wedges.
What's included in the box?
Every cage includes the frame, netting and fixings. Hitting mats, rubber bases and ball trays are separate on all cages — except the Bundle, which includes all three.
Pop-up or freestanding?
If you'll pack it away or move it, go ProFlex. If it's staying up, a steel-framed cage will last longer and stay taut through weather.
Can it take driver swings with real balls?
Yes — all of them. For maximum stopping power under very heavy use, choose the Practice Cage with the archery-grade impact panel.
How fast is delivery?
Cages are typically delivered within 3–5 working days across the UK.
