FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 17, 2009 –

There are two types of materials utilized in the athletic field cover marketplace. The first material is polyethylene. The poly covers are either 6 or 7.5 ounces per square yard. That translates to about 10 to 12 mills in thickness. The other material used is vinyl. The strengths are either 10 ounce or 14 ounce per square yard in either coated or laminate forms. A coated product usually has better specs than a laminate and should last longer. These covers will come manufactured in different ways, with different accessories dependent on the use. Baseball covers are either full field covers or spot covers. Spot covers are used for covering bases and home plate, on deck circles, pitchers mounds, and bull pen areas. Mound and home plate covers are usually circular in form,

While the bull pen and base covers are rectangular and square in form. Regardless of the material, usually these covers have reinforced edges of some kind with grommets around the perimeters 2 to 5 foot on center. The grommets allow the tarps to be staked into the ground if applicable. Full baseball field covers are a little bit different. The smallest size is usually 120 feet by 120 feet. The weight of these covers makes it necessary to have handles around the perimeter about every 12 feet. The largest size for baseball is 170 by 170. The handle spacing is the same. The advantage of the poly covers is that they are lighter than the vinyl’s, denser, and less expensive. Disadvantages include the facts that they rip easier and cannot be patched because they are so dense. Also, paint will not adhere to them so logos’ cannot be painted on them. A vinyl cover may cost twice that of the poly, but because it can be patched it is a better value.
