Enhance Safety and Appearance with Custom Fence Guard Solutions
Whether you’re protecting players, finishing a facility, or adding team color to your field- Ball Fabrics’ custom fence guards do it all. Designed for safety from the top of the chain link fence, durability, and easy installation in mind, these custom athletic fence guards help prevent injuries and elevate your space.
Made from high-quality, durable materials, Ball Fabrics’ fence guards are built for longevity, withstanding harsh weather and heavy use. The custom rail padding also features impact absorption for added protection and keeps players safe during active play.
For more than 35 years, Ball Fabrics has built fence guard solutions that stand the test of time — and the elements. We design every detail with installers and athletes in mind. One person can easily handle the fence guard and DIY rail padding, while the fence guard topper is built tough enough to take a team. That’s craftsmanship you can count on.

How long does the fabrication process take for a custom safety fence guard?
Lead times are usually 2-4 weeks, based on design and quantity. At Ball Fabrics, we produce everything in-house, which streamlines the process. We work with clients to develop their unique specifications and indoor/outdoor accommodations so their custom fence guard is manufactured, delivered, and installed in accordance with project deadlines.
Are custom sports fence safety guards suitable for indoor and outdoor use?
Yes, with some variation.Ball Fabrics offers options for both indoor and outdoor use, ensuring robust protection in any setting. Outdoor chain link fence toppers need to withstand sun, rain, and wind, so they often use materials that are durable yet not too rigid. Indoor fence guard toppers might focus more on softer padding and ease of installation, as they don’t have to endure the elements.
Can athletic field fence guards be customized with team colors or logos?
While the custom fence guard itself can be customized with colors and sizes to fit your facility perfectly, the limited surface area on the rail padding makes adding logos or graphics impractical. For branding and promotional graphics, Ball Fabrics offers additional products, such as fence screens, bleacher wraps, and privacy or athletic windscreens, that provide larger, more visible spaces for customization. These options help you showcase team spirit while maintaining safety and durability.
