The problem

Rental cages are expensive, booked, and across town.

Every travel-ball family in DFW has felt these four patterns.

Rental fees that eat the youth-sports budget

DFW cage rentals run $35-50/hr. 3-4 hours a week during season = $5K-$8K a year. Two kids in travel ball = double that.

Booked solid when you actually need it

Everyone wants cage time Monday/Tuesday/Thursday 6-8pm. You take what's left. Saturday morning before tournament? Good luck.

45 minutes of driving per session

Home → facility → home. Hour round-trip for 60 minutes of swings. Cuts the efficient reps in half for serious players.

Weather shuts down the field too

Outdoor practice gone, indoor rentals booked. A week of rain and your player loses their timing heading into a tournament.

The 10-year math

Rental fees will out-pay the cage in 3 seasons.

One travel-ball player doing 3 hours a week, 40 weeks a year. Here's the 10-year math.

Line item Rental cages Backyard cage
Cage rentals ($40/hr × 120 hr/yr)$48,000$0
Tournament cage bookings$3,000$0
Drive time + fuel (est.)$3,500$0
Cage install (55', one-time)$18,500
Netting replacement (year 7)$800
Turf refresh (year 10)$1,200
10-year total $54,500 $20,500

Plus unlimited reps. And zero scheduling conflicts. And no 45-minute drives.

What we build

A cage that holds up to real daily use.

Heavy-duty frame and netting

Steel-pole frame rated for live pitching speeds. #42 nylon netting, pro-grade, not the hardware-store nylon that shreds in 18 months. Built for 5-7 years minimum before netting replacement.

Proper hitting-zone turf

Performance 5mm turf engineered for repeat ball impact. No bare spots after one season. Red turf home-plate mat with batter boxes marked.

Pitching mound option

Clay mound or turf mound with regulation spacing. Full-length cages (70'+) can include a proper mound and plate for real bullpen work.

Engineered base for year-round use

Drainage-graded sub-base so the cage plays the same in February as in August. Flagstone or concrete walkway if the cage lives next to the house.

My son's travel schedule eats every weekend. Having a cage in the backyard means he can get 100 swings after school instead of driving to a facility. Paid for itself in two seasons.
Chris · Aledo
We have two kids in select ball. The rental math was insane. Bearcat built a 55-footer in our side yard in three days. Year later it looks like day one.
Brett · Walsh Ranch
Asked for a bullpen option. They built a real clay mound with regulation spacing. My kid's pitching coach comes over for sessions instead of meeting at a facility.

Quick answers

The questions we hear most.

How much does a backyard batting cage cost?

Full-package backyard cages in DFW run $12,000-$25,000 depending on length, netting spec, mound inclusion, and base complexity. A 55' standard youth cage with turf + netting + pad runs around $15,000-$18,000. A 70' cage with a regulation pitching mound runs higher. Fixed-price proposal — no upsells mid-install.

How much space do I need?

For a 55' cage, plan on ~65'×15' of clear yard area (extra length for backstop, extra width for netting overhang). For a 70' cage with mound, ~80'×15'. We'll measure access during the walkthrough and route the install around existing hardscape, trees, and sight lines.

Can you build one indoors?

Yes — we've installed in converted garages, barndominiums, and commercial facilities. Indoor installs usually use the same turf and netting spec with different pole anchoring.

What about HOAs?

Most Aledo / Walsh / Parker County HOAs are accommodating — we've installed in dozens of them. Southlake, Westlake, and similar-tier HOAs sometimes require architectural review. We handle the paperwork on your behalf in either case.

How long does the install take?

Most standard cages: 3-5 days on-site once we start. With a poured concrete pad or clay mound, add a day. Bad weather adds a day.

Do you do supply-only?

Yes. For families with a concrete pad already poured or crew willing to install, we can supply the turf, netting, and hardware at a material-only rate. Common for indoor facilities and team cages.
