Design, Build, and Train – Out of the Park Sports Makes It Happen
Indoor batting cages have become essential tools for baseball and softball training at every level. Whether you’re outfitting a professional training facility, retrofitting a gym, or converting a garage into a practice space, this guide will help you plan, design, and install a batting cage that meets your goals. We cover every step – from cage types and turf options to costs, materials, and maintenance.
Permanent cages are built into the space using steel frames or ceiling mounts. These are best for dedicated sports facilities, schools, or commercial training centers that require year-round use and the ability to withstand heavy use. Fixed cages often span 55–70 feet in length with professional-grade netting and turf flooring.
Retractable systems are ideal for gyms or multipurpose spaces where you need flexibility. These cages can be ceiling-suspended and retracted manually or by motorized winches. They offer a clean aesthetic and efficient space usage.
Great for temporary setups, portable cages are lightweight and easy to assemble. They’re best for smaller spaces, training on the go, or home practice environments.
Before construction begins, evaluate the dimensions, lighting, ventilation, and ceiling structure of your indoor space. You'll want a minimum of:
Plan for lighting above the cage, proper wall clearance, netting anchors, and turf shock absorption. Consider future expansion or the need for a multi-lane setup if you're a high-volume facility.
| Component | Estimated Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Basic Fixed Cage | $5,000 – $9,000 |
| Motorized Retractable Cage | $12,000 – $20,000+ |
| Professional Turf & Padding | $3,000 – $8,000 |
| Custom Netting Packages | $1,500 – $4,000 |
| Installation Labor | Varies by project size and location |
Bulk discounts and financing available. We offer turnkey quotes that include site inspection, design, labor, materials, and warranties.
Selecting the right cage depends on your facility size, usage volume, and flexibility needs. Ask yourself:
Need help deciding? Our specialists provide free consultations and 3D cage layout mockups.
Absolutely. We’ve completed residential installs in garages, barns, and basements. Custom sizing and foldaway options are available.
Indoor cages are low maintenance. Inspect netting and cables quarterly and vacuum turf regularly. We offer annual checkup packages.
Typical turnaround is 2–4 days after delivery. Larger commercial installs may take 1–2 weeks depending on prep work.
With proper care, our cages last 8–12+ years. Netting can be replaced independently from frames when worn.
