đ Step-by-Step Setup
1. Place Home Plate
Start by setting your home plate down where you want the center of the field to be. This is the anchor point for the rest of the setup.
2. Position the Strike Zone
Place the strike zone stand 3 feet directly behind the tip of home plate. You can eyeball it or use the included foul line straps for measurement reference.
3. Set the Pitcherâs Rubber
Measure out 45 feet straight from the tip of home plate and place the pitcherâs rubber. This is where all pitches will be thrown from.
4. Align the Foul Lines
Use the foul line straps to set up the left and right boundaries of the field:
- The angle of the foul lines changes based on team size.
- For example, if you're playing with 6 players per team, your foul lines should extend at a 90° angle from home plate.
- Refer to the included setup guide for exact angles based on player count.
5. Set the Foul Poles
Once the foul lines are laid out, attach the ends to the foul poles to complete the field shape.
The pre-marked hit zones on the straps will automatically define:
- Single Zone
- Double Zone
- Triple (Off the Wall) Zone
- Home Run Fence
Unfurl, attach, and let the zones take shape.
â Pro Tips
- Make sure the straps are fully stretched and lay flat for accurate hit zone spacing.
- If youâre playing on sand or grass, push the foul poles in at a slight backward angle for stability.
- Want to shorten the field for younger players? Just bring the pitcherâs rubber and home run fence in a few feet.
