Batting Cages

Backyard batting cages built to stand up to real daily use. Durable turf, heavy-duty nylon netting, optional clay or turf pitching mound. Most of our cage installs pay back in rental fees within a couple seasons. A 55' youth cage runs $15,000-$18,000 fully installed; a 70' cage with a regulation pitching mound runs higher.

Why build a backyard cage

DFW cage rentals run $35-50 per hour. A travel-ball family doing three hours a week across the season spends $5,000-$8,000 a year on rentals alone — and still has to book the time, drive to the facility, and hope their slot is available the day before a tournament. A backyard cage replaces all of that: unlimited reps, on your schedule, in weather the indoor cages don't even have. See our batting cage SEM landing page for the 10-year cost comparison.

What a Bearcat cage includes

• Steel-pole frame. Rated for live-pitching speeds. Anchored into a poured concrete footer, not surface-staked like a temporary cage.
• Heavy-duty nylon netting. #42 pro-grade net, not the hardware-store #21 that shreds inside of 18 months.
• Performance-grade hitting-zone turf. 5mm Performance Pro turf engineered for repeat ball impact. No bare spots after one season of daily use.
• Red turf home-plate mat with batter boxes marked.
• Proper drainage base. Crushed-stone sub-base graded so the cage plays the same in February as in August.
• Pitching mound option. Regulation clay mound (60'6" rubber) or turf-mound alternative for 70'+ cages that support real bullpen work.

Common Bearcat cage builds

• 35-45' cage (youth / tee work). Smaller yards, younger players. Tee and front-toss use primarily.
• 55' cage (standard travel-ball). Our most-installed tier. Handles batting practice and machine work at travel-ball speeds.
• 70' cage with mound (full-length). Real bullpen work plus full-speed batting practice. Requires ~80'×15' of clear yard space.
• Indoor conversions and commercial. Converted garages, barndominiums, training academies. Same turf and netting spec; different pole anchoring.

HOAs and site considerations

Most Aledo, Walsh Ranch, and Parker County HOAs are accommodating — we've installed in dozens of them. Southlake, Westlake, and similar higher-tier HOAs sometimes require architectural review. We handle the paperwork in either case and walk the yard to route around power lines, irrigation, trees, and sight lines from the house.
