ExtremeScreen®80: Built to Reduce Wind Damage and Maintenance
ExtremeScreen®80 – Patent No.: US 12,195,891 B2
We kept hearing the same frustrations from customers dealing with high-wind areas: constant maintenance, damaged screens, and ongoing costs. After more than a decade of research and development, ExtremeScreen®80 was designed to solve these problems.
ExtremeScreen®80 is a patented athletic fence windscreen developed to help facilities reduce the time and money spent dealing with wind damage and ongoing maintenance. Ideal for tennis courts, pickleball courts, baseball fields, athletic facilities, and other areas that experience high winds, this windscreen provides performance, durability, and visual appeal.
What makes ExtremeScreen®80 different:
- Unique honeycomb structure and knitted polyethylene fabric allow for maximum wind dispersion
- Reduces wind load by 50% compared to competitors (ASTM 737 air permeability tested)
- Provides 80% opacity while maintaining superior air permeability compared to competitors
- Weather and fade-resistant to withstand outdoor conditions without drying out, becoming brittle, or cracking
- Long-lasting performance with no surface cracking or peeling because there’s no vinyl coating
- Reinforced hems and triple-grommeted corners provide added strength and help reduce flapping and broken fasteners
- Customizable with your logo and branding
- Backed by a 7-year warranty
ExtremeScreen®80 uses a unique honeycomb lattice to diffuse airflow and reduce wind load on the fence and attachment points. The result is an athletic fence windscreen designed to stay securely in place while reducing the damage and maintenance that can come with high winds.
