What types of sports padding are available, and how do I choose the right one?
Custom sports padding products include wall pads, fence pads, rail pads, pole pads, and column pads. Selecting the proper sports padding for your facility depends on your facility’s needs and the sports played there.
For example, a gymnasium may need wall and column padding, while a baseball facility may need fence padding and outfield wall padding. Features of padding products to take into account include material durability, weather resistance, thickness, and ease of installation.
Our custom athletic padding specialists can help you choose the right products for your space- solutions that meet your budget, match your facility, and comply with safety standards.
Will my athletic padding installation last long?
Athletic padding is built to last, and our high-quality padding can withstand intense use and harsh conditions when correctly cared for. Our padding is made from premium coated vinyl that is UV treated with anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-mildew, and anti-mold properties. This will help it stand up to wear and tear, fading, and other damage that can occur with time.
For safety reasons and to preserve your investment, we recommend that you regularly inspect your custom athletic padding, clean it with mild soap and water as needed, and address any necessary repairs or replacements.
How long will it take to get athletic padding made after I place an order?
Time to produce and deliver custom athletic padding will vary depending on your specifications and order volume, but most orders will ship within 2-4 weeks. Expedited services are available.
