There are four catwalks at the Trope. The two lower ones are furthest from home, and any fair batted ball that hits them or anything suspended from them is a home run.
The next one closer to the plate is partially in fair territory, and the closest one is completely in fair grounds. If a ball hits those in fair territory, it's treated as if it didn't hit anything and is judged fair or foul when it lands or is touched by a fielder. If caught, it's an out. If the ball gets stuck up there, it's a ground rule double. A ball that hits the foul portion of the second catwalk is dead and cannot be caught.
