A Full-Size Cricket Net and Golf Practice Facility That Disappears Against Your Fence When You're Done.

The Concertina Batting Cage is the cricket net built for properties and facilities that can't afford to give up space permanently. Simply mount to an existing fence, wall, or structure, it extends to a full 12m × 3.6m × 3m for real cricket and golf practice - then folds accordion-style to just 0.8m deep when you're done. Your tennis court stays a tennis court. Your oval stays an oval. Your backyard stays your backyard. The cage is there when you need it and gone when you don't. As used by teams at Lord's Cricket Ground - the home of cricket.

Built from hot-dip galvanised steel with high-speed UV-resistant black netting, the Concertina is engineered for Australian conditions - sun, wind, and hard use season after season. Golf-grade netting and a rear baffle are included as standard - making this a dual-sport training facility straight out of the box. Ready to use in under five minutes. Operates solo with safety handles. No tools required to extend or collapse.

⭐ As Used by Teams at Lord's Cricket Ground

The home of cricket. The same cage trusted by players at the world's most famous cricket ground is available for your property, club, or school.

📦 Included with every Concertina Batting Cage

Homeowners with a Tennis Court, Acreage, or Large Property If you have a tennis court, you already have the fence and the space. The Concertina mounts straight to your existing court fence and extends across the court for a full-size cricket net or golf practice bay — then folds flat against the fence when tennis season comes around. No permanent footprint, no wasted space, no compromise on either sport. This is the backyard training facility that serious cricketers and golfers have been waiting for.

Families Who Take Cricket Seriously Junior players who train at home develop faster. The Concertina gives your family a Lord's-level practice facility in your own backyard — available every afternoon after school, every weekend, every holiday. No booking a net at the club, no sharing a lane, no waiting. Just bat, bowl, and get better.

Cricket Clubs Needing a Permanent Training Facility Without Losing Field Space Most cricket clubs share their ground with other sports and can't permanently sacrifice a section of the oval for a fixed batting cage. The Concertina solves that — mount it to the fence at the boundary, extend it for training sessions, fold it back when the ground is needed for matches, social events, or the football club sharing the venue. Full training facility when you need it. Zero footprint when you don't.

Schools with Ovals, Hard Courts, or Shared Facilities Secondary schools running cricket programs need a training facility that doesn't eat into PE space or conflict with other sports. The Concertina mounts to an existing fence or wall — school boundary fence, tennis court fence, gymnasium wall — and folds away in minutes after cricket training. One installation serves cricket and golf, making it an easy grant application for multi-sport infrastructure funding.

Golf Clubs and Multi-Sport Facilities Golf clubs wanting to add a short-game practice bay, or multi-sport facilities needing to maximise training infrastructure without multiplying footprint, get both disciplines from one installation — golf-grade netting and rear baffle included as standard.

Folds to 0.8m deep — takes up almost no space when stored Extended, the Concertina is a full 12m × 3.6m × 3m training cage. Collapsed, it sits just 0.8m deep against the fence — less than a metre. That's the entire engineering achievement of this product in one number. No other permanent cricket net solution disappears like this. Your space is yours again the moment training finishes.

Ready in under 5 minutes — no tools required The Concertina extends and collapses without tools. Safety handles make it manageable solo, though two people is recommended. From folded against the fence to fully extended and ready to bat — under five minutes. That's the difference between a facility that gets used every day and one that only comes out for special occasions.

Hot-dip galvanised steel — built for Australian conditions Hot-dip galvanising provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanised or powder-coated steel — the frame is protected inside and out, not just on the surface. Combined with high-speed UV-resistant black netting, this is a cage built to withstand Australian sun, coastal salt air, and hard use season after season without degrading.

Golf netting and baffle included — two sports, one installation Golf-grade netting in the rear bay and a rear baffle are included as standard — not an optional extra. The Concertina is a cricket training cage and a golf practice net from day one. Two disciplines, one fence mounting point, zero additional cost.

Mounts to what you already have The Concertina anchors to an existing fence, wall, or structure — tennis court fence, boundary fence, cricket ground fence, school building wall, shed wall, or steel posts. No new concrete footings, no standalone structure required. If you have a fence, you have what you need to install this cage.

As used at Lord's Cricket Ground The same cage trusted by teams practising at Lord's — the home of cricket — is available for Australian homes, clubs, and schools. When the world's most iconic cricket ground chooses a batting cage, it's not a decision taken lightly.

The Concertina requires an existing fence, wall, or structure to anchor to. If you have any of the following, you have what you need:


Tennis court fence — the most common installation for home buyers. The existing perimeter fence provides a solid anchor point and the court gives you the space to extend the cage fully.

Cricket ground or oval boundary fence — ideal for clubs. Mount to the existing boundary fence, extend for training sessions, fold back against the fence for matches and events.

Brick, concrete, or rendered wall — school building walls, gymnasium walls, clubroom walls, and boundary walls all provide solid anchor points.

Shed or structure wall — large sheds, storage buildings, and equipment buildings on rural or acreage properties provide suitable anchor points.

Steel posts — if you don't have an existing structure, steel posts can be installed as anchor points. Our installers can advise on the most cost-effective post setup for your site.

Clubs and Schools — This Can Be Grant Funded

Permanent cricket training infrastructure is regularly funded through Sport Australia's Sporting Schools programme, state sport and recreation grants, local council community sport funding, and school capital works budgets. A multi-sport installation that covers both cricket and golf is a particularly strong grant application — one infrastructure item, two sports, maximum return on investment for the funding body.

Club Captain helps you identify the right grant, build a compelling application around the Concertina Cage, and submit with confidence. We provide itemised quotes formatted for grant applications, school purchase orders, and committee approval — with professional installation cost included where applicable.

Does my property need anything special to install this?

You need an existing fence, wall, or structure to anchor the cage to — and enough clear space in front of it to extend the full 12m length. A tennis court with its perimeter fence is the ideal home setup. Cricket ground boundary fences, school fences, shed walls, and brick walls all work. If you're not sure whether your property is suitable, call us on 1300 715 818 before you order and we'll work through the site with you.

Can one person operate it?

Yes — the safety handle system makes solo operation possible. Two people is recommended for smoother, faster extension and collapse, but the cage is designed to be manageable by one person when needed.

Is the golf netting included or an extra cost?

Included as standard. The golf-grade rear netting and rear baffle come with every Concertina Cage at no additional cost. The cage is cricket and golf ready from day one — no extra order, no separate cost.

Do I need a professional installer or can I do it myself?

Both options are available. Self-installation is possible for confident DIYers with the right tools and a solid anchor point. We recommend professional installation to ensure the cage is mounted correctly, safely, and optimally positioned for your space. Professional installation is available as an optional add-on — select at checkout or contact us for a quote that includes installation.

How does it hold up in the Australian weather?

The hot-dip galvanised steel frame provides superior rust resistance compared to standard galvanised steel — protected inside and out, not just on the surface. The UV-resistant black netting is rated for high-speed impact and extended sun exposure. This is a cage engineered specifically for Australian conditions — built to last through heat, UV, coastal salt air, and hard seasonal use.

Is this suitable for use with a bowling machine?

Yes — the full 12m length and 3.6m width accommodate a bowling machine setup at the rear of the cage. The netting is rated for high-speed ball impact throughout. Contact us on 1300 715 818 if you want advice on bowling machine positioning and setup within the cage.

Can clubs use this for indoor cricket training?

Yes — where an indoor facility has a wall or structure to anchor to and sufficient ceiling height (minimum 3m), the Concertina can be installed indoors. School gymnasiums, indoor sports centres, and large warehouse-style facilities are all suitable. Contact us to discuss your indoor installation requirements.

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 — permanent cricket and multi-sport training infrastructure is regularly funded through Sporting Schools, state sport and recreation grants, and council community sport funding. The multi-sport capability of this cage — covering both cricket and golf — makes it a particularly strong application. Start with The Grant Playbook →
