I was going to say "your floor looks like dirt" (not in a bad way). Now with the artificial turf, it's making more sense.

Batting cage up- finally! It was a tough push to finish in the heat (112 degrees).
Now the fun begins. May need to think about cooling th garage!!





Still need to finish the walls and then start phase 2 of the project!

Wow, what a project! So tall!

Floor looks awesome. Almost seems you needn't have spent all the effort for the side under the turf, tho?

"may need to think about cooling" ? may ?!? insulation or not, seems with your climate, the building would be uninhabitable for 1/2 the year, lol.

Looking forward to phase 2.

Port a cool evaporative cooler is working well to keep the temperature down. I am still contemplating A/C for part of the garage, but will wait until I am done with construction of mezzanine and bathroom/office in garage. Swamp cooler will have to do for now, and really makes a big difference.

I thought about not spending the effort and money on the floor under the turf, but knew that eventually in 10 years or less that the cage would be down and I would be using the space for other interests. It was easier to prep and install all at one time now, compared to later.

Thanks! I was looking for a rust color similar to what our soil can look like out here, but really wanted the gloss as well. It turned out to be a very cool color.
