We are considering a pool and birdcage on a golf course. Do birdcages stop golf balls or get damaged by them? Hope some of you on golf courses have some experience.

I have seen line drives hit the bird cages with no apparent damage. They must be strong.

We are on a Golf course --get hit ---at times --ball bounces off easily no damage --I think if the screen gets old and dries out it might damage it --we are here 3 years--- ok so far ----!!!!!!

Just remember --if there is damage the golfer is in no way legally responsible

Good luck

'If there is damage the golfer is in no way legally responsible'

I didn't know that, I thought a golfer was responsible for damage.

I think the building code requires that the screen can keep a person from falling in the pool, it's pretty strong stuff

:coolsmiley::coolsmiley:Your best bet .... is to contact a local professional, licensed, pool cage builder .... who knows the building code. He would be best prepared to answer that type question... :coolsmiley:

The location of the home relative to the golf course can make a huge difference. We live adjacent to a green on a dogleg right and behind the next tee and have never even come close to being hit by a ball. Fairways are more prone to result in long errant shots. I have a wicked slice myself, and over the years have bounced my share off homes in Texas and Arizona, so I picked my lot so my home would be safe from me when I play this course!

We live on a golf course and have had balls bounce off the top and sides of our bird cage with no damage. However, after 5 - 6 years the top panels especially become brittle due to the sun. Replacing a panel when necessary is not a big deal. We use Todd's Screen Repair. Does good work and is reasonable.
