Baseball fields often have different safety requirements and arena needs compared to other sporting facilities such as basketball courts, tennis courts, and driving ranges. The most notable difference is the presence of a backstop behind home plate to protect spectators from stray balls and flying bats or sports equipment.
Backstops aren’t the only difference in baseball fields. The type of baseball field will also determine the regulation fence height. The average height for an outfield fence in major league baseball is eight feet while the normal height of a fence on a recreational field is closer to six feet.
Outfield fences are usually made from chain link with a fence cap system for safety. These fences can also include windscreens.
Our line of high quality athletic padding is designed for maximum impact resistance, safety, and longevity.
Each pad is backed with 3/4″ weather-treated plywood, covered in 3″ high-impact foam, and then wrapped in 18.5oz MVP vinyl. The vinyl is available in many UV-resistant color choices and is rot, mildew, and fungus-resistant. With our versatile offerings of attachment hardware, wall pads can be attached to almost any surface.
Our revolutionary padded wall system FUSES player safety, function, and eye appeal into a complete package. Our highest quality extreme weather-resistant outdoor padding is easily and securely installed using an exclusive attachment system.
Fusion also allows facilities to incorporate branding or sponsorship onto the padding and rear wall screen to give their facility the “wow” factor.
Protect players from the top of the chain link while adding color and an overall finished look to the facility. With player safety in mind, these lightweight options are designed for player spatial awareness, injury prevention, and overall facility visual enhancement.
Player safety is our top priority. If an area presents a safety concern for an athlete, we can pad it!
