Cage

Helpful information about cages in a nutshell

1. materials and construction

Materials
- The design of the throwing cages is based on advanced materials that ensure durability and longevity of use. A key component is anodized aluminum, which is a lightweight yet extremely durable material. The anodizing process involves the electrochemical formation of an aluminum oxide layer on the aluminum surface through an electrolytic bath in sulfuric acid, which increases its resistance to corrosion, abrasion and weathering. This makes the cages resistant to external factors such as rain, snow and UV radiation, which is key to maintaining their functionality for many years without costly maintenance.
- The second essential material is galvanized carbon steel, which is used in structural components subjected to the greatest stress. The electroplating process involves coating steel with a thin layer of zinc by immersing steel components in an electrolytic bath containing zinc compounds, which prevents corrosion by creating a protective barrier. This solution is crucial in ensuring that the cage's structure retains its mechanical integrity even in extreme weather conditions.
- In addition, the steel components undergo a powder coating process. By applying dry powder to the surface of the steel using an electrostatic spray gun, the powder adheres to the surface of the metal due to the application of electrostatic charges, followed by firing in an oven, resulting in a uniform, durable coating on the metal surface. This technology provides an additional protective layer that not only protects the equipment from the elements, but also improves the aesthetics of the structure, giving it a modern look.
- Thanks to the use of both electroplating and powder coating, the structures are extremely resistant to corrosion and long-lasting protection against mechanical damage, which proves the highest quality of construction.
Design and functionality
- The design of the disk throwing cages is the result of intensive engineering work to maximize functionality while minimizing weight and manufacturing complexity. The use of lightweight yet durable materials has resulted in a design that is easy to assemble and disassemble. Each cage is designed so that its assembly can be carried out quickly and efficiently, without the need for heavy construction equipment. This significantly reduces operating costs and allows flexible management of the sports space.
- Special attention was paid to the design of the posts and the mechanism for raising and lowering the net. The self-locking crank mechanism makes it possible to easily and quickly adjust the height of the net to meet users' requirements, which is extremely important during training and competitions. The mechanism is characterized by simplicity of operation, which minimizes the risk of failure and ensures the reliability of the entire structure.
Mechanisms
- The cages are equipped with advanced mechanisms for raising and lowering the net, which are based on steel ropes and special hooks. Steel ropes, thanks to their mechanical properties, provide excellent tension of the net, eliminating the risk of excessive sagging or damage during disk impacts. Specially designed hooks allow for easy and quick hooking and unhooking of the net, which speeds up the process of preparing the cage for use.
- The mechanisms are not only functional, but also designed to minimize maintenance. The use of high-quality materials and precision manufacturing technologies guarantees long-lasting, trouble-free operation, which is crucial for users who expect reliability and high quality.

2 Application and Practicality

- Disk throwing cages are designed to be versatile and adaptable to a variety of user needs. Their modular design allows for easy adaptation to different training conditions and locations, making them an ideal choice for both professional sports facilities and smaller athletic clubs. The ability to quickly assemble and disassemble the net allows for efficient space management - after a training session or competition is over, the cage can be easily dismantled and the area used for other purposes, such as training for other sports or sporting events.
- Thanks to the use of synthetic surfacing materials that can be used to cover the surface inside the cage, it is also possible to prevent discs from damaging the ground. In addition, this flexibility of use means that the facilities can be used year-round, regardless of weather conditions, increasing their functionality and use value.
Earth anchor kit
- One of the key features of disk throwing cages is their practicality, manifested in the ease of transport and storage. Thanks to the flat design of the earth anchors, which do not collect water, these cages can be easily moved and folded, which is extremely important for sports facilities with limited space. The anchors, which are made of durable zinc steel, provide solid anchorage for the posts, and their design minimizes the risk of damage to the ground and other structural components.
- The flat anchors, combined with the ability to remove individual cage components, make storing the cage in the off-season not only possible, but also space-efficient. This allows for optimal use of available storage space, which is crucial for facilities with limited space.
- In addition, manufacturers offer a range of additional accessories and spare parts, allowing for easy customization of the cage and quick repairs in case of any damage. As a result, users can rest assured that an investment in discus throwing cages will be cost-effective and long-term.
The World Athletics (WA) certification is a guarantee of the highest quality and safety of use, and is a confirmation that the design meets stringent international requirements and standards, making it an ideal choice for professional athletes and sports facilities around the world. This makes it a top-notch product that combines innovative technology with excellent workmanship, ultimately supporting athletes to reach their full potential and achieve the best sports performance.
