What Makes a Batting Cage “Rental Ready”? Here’s the Standard Hosts Should Aim For

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.

3. Basic Amenities Make a Big Difference

Even simple additions like:

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

…can help you charge more and get repeat renters.

4. Host Like a Pro

CageList rentals are built on trust. That’s why every host should follow our Community Guidelines and consider enrolling in our Host Protection Plan.

5. Ready to Start Earning?

If your cage is safe, photographed, and available — you’re ready to go.

👉 List your cage on CageList today and start getting booked by local players near you.
