What should I know when sending you a logo for a custom windscreen?
When sending us your logo or any graphics that you want on your custom-printed windscreen, here are a few graphic guidelines that will aid the process:
- Send your logo or art in a vector file
- Create artwork within Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign
- Set your file size to be 1/10 scale of the actual print size
- Convert text to outlines, or provide font files
How can I ensure that my custom athletic fence windscreens are visible from the stands?
Visibility from a distance requires strategic design choices. For adequate signage on custom athletic windscreens, text size should be 1:10 proportionate to viewing distance. That means, for every 10 feet, add 1 inch to the text height.
Color contrast also significantly impacts readability. Dark text on light backgrounds (or vice versa) provides optimal visibility from the stands. Avoid colors with similar brightness, even if colors seem distinct up close.
Font selection also plays a factor, especially in sports such as tennis, baseball, softball, and pickleball, where windscreens are used. Sans-serif fonts, such as Arial, offer better legibility at a distance than decorative options. Stick with bold, clean typefaces rather than intricate designs.
Finally, consider the viewing angle. If fans are sitting at eye level, the text won’t need to be as tall, as opposed to athletic windscreens placed higher, where perspective affects perception. Be sure to allot for spacing between letters and words to prevent visual blurring.
Before finalizing your large-format printing sports events windscreen, we recommend creating a simple mockup and viewing it from different angles and spectator distances. We have helpful art guidelines to get you started.
What’s the best way to measure wind and privacy screens for an athletic field?
Begin by sketching your fence layout. Measure the height of the fence at multiple points to find the lowest measurement. This will ensure complete coverage. For the width, measure the distance between the outside tension bars. Measure gates separately using this same method. Number each section on your diagram so that our manufactured panels can match your diagram.
For complex installations, check out Ball Fabric’s Measuring for Windscreen & Privacy Screen installation resource for complete instructions, or rely on our professional measuring services for the perfect athletic windscreen fit.
Are windscreens really necessary for sporting events?
While not required, windscreens provide advantages that most venues consider essential, especially for tennis and pickleball, as well as baseball and softball facilities.
The primary benefit is visual consistency for athletes. Players perform better when they have a clean background, devoid of distractions. Elite players can also use sports event windscreens for ball tracking purposes, as seen in our batter’s eye.
Also, wind control is crucial at sporting events. Even slight breezes can alter ball trajectory in sports where precision can significantly impact the course of the game. Our screens reduce wind velocity considerably, keeping consistent competitive conditions a priority.
What makes custom athletic windscreens so popular is how they transform facility branding and income streams. Your venue gains more appeal while creating valuable sponsorship space – many clients offset costs through advertising revenue.
At Ball Fabrics, you won’t have to worry about frequent and costly professional windscreen replacement because we install your windscreen properly the first time. For over three decades, we’ve fine-tuned our fabrication and installation process to extend product durability and lifespan.
With these benefits, competitive facility managers view quality windscreens as pivotal infrastructure rather than an optional addition.
