School batting cages — DFW.

Built for public procurement.

ISD athletic directors don't have time to vet a vendor who's never run a public-bid project. Bearcat Turf is HUB Certified through the Texas Comptroller, registered with the Secretary of State, and we've put bid documentation into procurement packets across DFW. We know the pace, the paperwork, and the summer-window pressure of getting a cage built before two-a-days start in August.

Common configs.

• 70 x 14 x 12 commercial single — the standard public high-school batting cage. #45 commercial-grade twisted poly net, powder-coated frame.
• 70 x 30 x 12 double-wide — two-station hitting. Partition net optional. The most common middle-school-through-varsity install.
• 70 x 45 x 12 triple-wide — large athletic departments, programs running multiple stations during a single 50-minute period.
• #60 high-velocity nets for programs running pitching machines at 80+ mph or hosting fall-ball college showcases.

ASTM & safety compliance.

For school athletic facilities, the surface and netting both need to land on the right side of ASTM standards. We bid to:

• ASTM F2765 (synthetic turf systems) on hitting-cage turf surfaces, where applicable.
• ASTM F1936 / F355 G-Max guidance on integrated turf surfaces — target G-Max under 200 for general athletic fields.
• NFHS rulebook compliance for mound height, plate location, and batter's-box geometry on integrated build-outs.

Bid documentation we provide.

Summer install windows.

Realistic timeline: contracts signed by April, materials staged in May, install in June, punch list and handoff before two-a-days in August. After-school and weekend work is doable for cages on existing concrete pads, but the clean install path is the summer window. Programs that wait until June to start the bid process usually end up rolling into fall.
