    30' High Baseball Backstop

    Hello All, I was just asked to look over a chain link fence for a baseball backstop in New York State. They are proposing a 30' high backstop with posts spaced 10' o.c., and after running some calcs, it seems doable if I use 8 5/8" posts with a pretty good size footing. When I looked through...
