AB-30P
BASEBALL BACKSTOP
18. START WITH THE 7’ ROLLS. STAND THE WIRE ON EDGE AND PLACE THE FABRIC SO IT IS
CENTERED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE FRAME AND JUST ENOUGH ABOVE THE BOTTOM
ARCH SO THE TENSION BARS CAN BE INSTALLED. PUT TIE WIRES ON THE CENTER RIB
AND THE FABRIC. STRECH THE FABRIC AROUND THE BOTTOM AS BEST AS YOU CAN
AND INSTALL THE TENSION BARS IN THE BOTTOM AND ATTACH BARS TO TENSION
BANDS.
19. WHEN THE BOTTOM COURSE IS SUFFICIENTLY TIGHT, INSTALL TENSION BARS AND BANDS
ON THE FRONT ARCH AND CUT THE EXCESS FABRIC OFF ON THE BIAS. THE BOTTOM OF
THIS COURSE WILL BE EASILY STRECHED AND THE TOP WILL NOT BE REAL TIGHT. IT WILL
REQUIRE A BIAS CUT ON THE TOP OF THE COURES WHERE IT MEETS THE FRONT ARCH. IT
DOESN’T GET EASIER THAN THIS.
20. PLACE THE SECOND COURSE IT IN THE CENTER OF THE BACKSTOP LIKE ABOVE. SLIDE IT
UP THE BACKSTOP UNTIL THERE IS APPROXIMATLEY 6” OVERLAP TO THE BOTTOM
COURSE. STRECH THIS COURSE AS BEST YOU CAN LIKE ABOVE AND HOG TIE THE
OVERLAP TO THE BOTTOM COURSE. THIS COURSE WILL HAVE TO BE BIAS CUT AT THE
ENDS BEFORE THE TENSION BARS CAN BE INSTALLED. THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL WASTE ON
EACH END.
21. PLACE THE 10’ WIDE FABRIC ON THE TOP AND INSERT THE TENSION BARS. STRECH THE
FABRIC DOWN TO OVERLAP THE SECOND COURSE AND HOGTIE THE TWO TOGETHER.
IT SHOULD LOOK PRETTY GOOD BY NOW. IF IT DOESN’T, GO BACK AND MAKE IT RIGHT.
TIE THE FABRIC TO THE RIBS USING TIE WIRE. CLEAN UP AND YOU
ARE DONE.
