A Full Size Mobile Cricket Net That Goes Where You Need It — No Fence, No Wall, No Fixed Installation.
The Combi Batting Cage is a full-size mobile cricket net built for facilities that need the flexibility to move their training bay between practice areas, share it across multiple courts, or store it completely out of the way when the space is needed for something else. Same footprint as the Concertina — 12m × 3.6m × 3m — but mounted on heavy-duty jockey wheels so it rolls freely across turf, hard courts, and synthetic surfaces without any fixed anchor point. No fence required. No wall required. No permanent installation of any kind.
Built by Batting Cages Australia from hot-dip galvanised steel with high-speed UV-resistant black netting, the Combi is engineered for Australian conditions and hard seasonal use. Golf-grade netting and a rear baffle are included as standard. A split front net on a draw-wire gives clean, fast entry and exit without dismantling the cage. Ready to use in under five minutes. Folds to approximately 3.8m deep for storage when not in use.

Cricket Clubs with Shared or Multi-Use GroundsClubs that share their oval with other sports and can't permanently dedicate a section of the boundary to a fixed cage. The Combi rolls out for training sessions and stores away cleanly — no fence mounting, no permanent footprint, no conflict with other sports using the same ground. Roll it to the practice position, extend it, train, fold it back, roll it to storage. Done.
Schools Without a Suitable Fence or Wall to Mount ToSchools that want a proper full-size cricket training bay but don't have an existing fence or wall in the right position for a fixed installation. The Combi needs no anchor point — roll it to the right position on the oval or hard court, extend it, and it's ready. After cricket training it folds and rolls to the equipment shed without permanently occupying any school space.
Councils and Recreation Facilities Managing Multiple VenuesCouncils that need to share training infrastructure across multiple grounds or courts. The Combi can be transported between sites — one cage serves multiple venues rather than requiring a permanent installation at each location. Maximises infrastructure investment across a network of facilities.
Indoor Recreation Stadiums and Multi-Sport CentresLarge indoor facilities — recreation stadiums, indoor sports centres, multi-sport arenas — where a permanent wall-mounted cage isn't practical but a mobile full-size bay can be rolled into position for cricket bookings and rolled back out of the way for the next sport. A new revenue stream from a single piece of equipment that earns its keep across multiple programs.
High-Performance Programs and Cricket AcademiesAcademies and high-performance programs that run multiple training bays simultaneously or need to reconfigure their training layout for different sessions. The Combi's mobility means the cage goes where the session requires — not where the fence happens to be.
No fence, no wall, no fixed anchor — goes anywhereThe Concertina requires an existing fence or wall to mount to. The Combi requires nothing — it's completely freestanding on heavy-duty jockey wheels. Roll it to any position on any surface, extend it, and it's a full-size training bay. The most flexible permanent cricket net solution available.
Full size — 12m × 3.6m × 3mThe same full-size footprint as the Concertina — 12m long, 3.6m wide, 3m high. Proper senior-length training bay for batting and bowling, including bowling machine use at the rear. No compromise on dimensions just because it's mobile.
Heavy-duty jockey wheels — rolls across turf, courts, and hard surfacesThe jockey wheel system is built for the weight and size of a full commercial batting cage — not lightweight castors that sink into turf or lock up on hard surfaces. The Combi rolls cleanly across grass ovals, synthetic turf, hard courts, and indoor floors without needing a forklift or machinery to move it.
Split front net on draw-wire — clean, fast entry and exitThe split front net opens and closes on a draw-wire — no unclipping, no rolling up a loose net, no crawling under the frame. Players enter and exit cleanly between sessions without disrupting the cage setup. A practical feature that makes a real difference in high-rotation training environments.
Golf netting and baffle included — cricket and golf from one cageGolf-grade netting and a rear baffle are included as standard — the Combi is a cricket training cage and a golf practice net from day one. Roll it to the golf practice area, extend it, and it's a golf bay. Roll it to the cricket oval and it's a batting cage. Two sports, one mobile structure.
Ready in under 5 minutes — no tools requiredRoll it into position, extend it using the safety handles — under five minutes from storage to ready to bat. No tools, no assembly, no specialist knowledge required. One person can manage it, though two makes it faster.
Hot-dip galvanised steel — built for 10+ years of Australian useHot-dip galvanising protects the frame inside and out — not just on the surface. Combined with UV-resistant high-speed black netting, the Combi is rated for 10+ years of outdoor use when stored and maintained correctly. Powder coat is available for facilities wanting a custom colour finish.

Clubs and Schools — This Can Be Grant Funded
Mobile cricket training infrastructure is regularly funded through Sport Australia's Sporting Schools programme, state sport and recreation grants, and local council community sport funding. A multi-sport mobile cage covering both cricket and golf is a particularly strong grant application — one piece of infrastructure, two sports, maximum return on investment for the funding body.

What's the difference between the Combi and the Concertina?
Both are full-size 12m × 3.6m × 3m cricket training cages from Batting Cages Australia. The Concertina mounts permanently to an existing fence or wall and collapses to just 0.8m deep against it — ideal for homes with tennis courts and clubs with boundary fences. The Combi is completely freestanding on jockey wheels — no fence or wall needed — and rolls to any position on any surface. It folds to approximately 3.8m deep for storage. If you have a suitable fence or wall, the Concertina is the space-saving choice. If you need full mobility with no fixed anchor point, the Combi is the right option.
Can one person move and operate it?
Yes — the jockey wheel system and safety handles make solo operation possible. Two people is recommended for smoother, faster movement and extension, but the Combi is designed to be manageable by one person when needed. No machinery or forklifts required.
What surfaces can it roll on?
The Combi is designed to roll across turf, synthetic turf, hard courts, and indoor floors. The heavy-duty jockey wheels handle the weight of the cage without sinking into grass or locking up on hard surfaces. Contact us if you have a specific surface or terrain question before ordering.
Is the golf netting included?
Yes — golf-grade rear netting and a rear baffle are included as standard. The Combi is a cricket training cage and a golf practice net from day one at no extra cost.
Can it be used with a bowling machine?
Yes — the full 12m length and 3.6m width accommodate a bowling machine at the rear of the cage. The netting is rated for high-speed ball impact throughout. The split front net on a draw-wire also means players and coaches can enter and exit cleanly without disrupting the machine setup.
How does it hold up outdoors long term?
Hot-dip galvanised steel protects the frame inside and out — not just on the surface — providing superior rust resistance for outdoor use in Australian conditions. The UV-resistant netting is rated for high-speed impact and extended sun exposure. With correct storage and routine maintenance the Combi is rated for 10+ years of use.
Can schools use purchase orders?
Yes — we accept school purchase orders and provide itemised quotes formatted for principal or business manager approval, school procurement, and grant applications. Request a Quote →
Is this eligible for grant funding?
Yes — mobile cricket training infrastructure is regularly funded through Sporting Schools, state sport and recreation grants, and council community sport funding. The multi-sport capability covering both cricket and golf makes it a particularly strong application. Start with The Grant Playbook →

Need a Permanent Fixed Installation Instead?
If you have an existing fence or wall to mount to — a tennis court fence, boundary fence, or building wall — the Concertina Batting Cage is the space-saving alternative. Same full-size footprint, same build quality, but folds to just 0.8m deep against the fence when not in use.
