What Makes a Batting Cage “Rental Ready”? Here’s the Standard Hosts Should Aim For
Listing your backyard batting cage on CageList is a smart way to turn your private space into a reliable income stream — but not every cage is rental ready from day one.
So what does a “rental ready” batting cage actually look like?
1. Safe, Functional, and Clean
At minimum, your cage should be:
- Fully enclosed with no holes or tears in the netting
- Free of sharp edges, exposed stakes, or hazards
- Clear of debris, tools, or gear not meant for guests
Tip: Use an L-screen to protect throwers, and always inspect your space before renters arrive.
2. Well-Photographed and Clearly Described
Your listing is only as strong as your photos and description. Learn how to stand out by following our Listing Guidelines.

- Batting tees
- Lighting for late sessions
- Benches or water access
