~$500 all-in, ~1000lbs of material, built everything myself over a couple of weeks. Fun project. Everything purchased from Home Depot, Harbor Freight, Amazon, and SimTurf
Nets: 8' high x 10' wide impact net
Backup 8'x16' behind it and angled 1'x10' on top for high lofted shots
Additional 8'x5' "insurance net" on the right for oh-shit moments
Hitting area: 6'x4' total
4'x4' standing area (Amazon – MyVoice, trimmed from 5'x4' orig)
2'x4' EZTee Hybrid from SimTurf surplus section (amazing deals hiding there)
3/4" padded gym tiles beneath turf mats
Framed by 2"x6" sealed redwood
The tarp serves as a rain cover when not in use, and a ball return when flipped forward due to the natural slope of my yard. Board & bucket collect any that stray to the right, but 80-90% of shots end up right back where I struck them from.
Planning to buy a PRGR HS-130a to top it off.
