NCAA Discus Cages

The 732130, NCAA Discus Cage, consists of eight, 5.3m tall, rolled aluminum net poles with ground sleeves and a weather treated nylon net.  The rolled net poles are 2 7/8" OD, 0.203 wall, 6063-T6 aluminum tube.  Each pole stands in a 36" deep ground sleeve.  Galvanized steel tubes support the net between the first two poles on each side.  Four hinged net arms, at ground level, hold the net in place at the front of the cage.  The net is 340 lb. test nylon which has been weather treated for extended service life.  The net has a special cut out and extra section in the back to allow for easier access to the throwing circle.  The narrow cage opening greatly reduces the area outside the landing sector that a errant thrown discus can land in while not impeding a good throw.  This layout is still less restrictive than the current IAAF cage specifications.  Wider openings are possible by adjusting sleeve positions but will result in a larger implement landing danger zone.
