For the purposes of UK Athletics certification, hammer cages must meet the specifications laid down either in the UKA Rules of Competition (latest edition) or the I.A.A.F. Competition Rules (latest edition). Netting panels must be at least 7m high, with gates a minimum of 9m in height. As far as certification is concerned there is no distinction between training and competition. The specifications outlined above are equally applicable.
School athletic facilities which have no community or club usage do not fall within the remit of UK Athletics and provided that no UK Athletics certificate is required, neither UK Athletics nor I.A.A.F. rules apply. However, schools should always bear in mind the safety aspects of hammer throwing and wherever UK Athletics specification hammers are in use, UK Athletics would recommend that cages should meet UK Athletics specifications.
Replacement netting can be supplied to fit any cage. Please contact our Sales Office for a quote.
