Bench Zone Sideline Turf Protector

Description

The Bench Zone Sideline Turf Protector is built to protect natural grass fields from the concentrated wear that happens in bench areas during football games and practices. Made of tough Vipol Matrix material, this sideline turf protector prevents cleats from penetrating through to the grass while still allowing water, sunlight, and air to pass through so the turf underneath stays healthy even when the protector is left down for extended periods.

Specifications:

• Material: Vipol Matrix — cleat-proof, allows water and sunlight to pass through
• Reinforced low-profile edging with grommets installed every 18″ around the perimeter
• Available in 23 colors
• Custom sizing available to fit your specific sideline dimensions
• Chroma-Bond imprinting available for school logos and branding
• Used by 80% of NFL and NCAA Division 1 teams with natural grass fields
• Simply hose off to clean

The grommet system around the perimeter gives grounds crews a reliable anchoring method for this sideline turf protector in any weather conditions. The low-profile edging sits flat enough that players and staff walk over it without tripping, which matters on a sideline where attention is on the field, not the footing. Because the Vipol Matrix material lets liquids pass through rather than absorbing them, spilled water and sports drinks drain through instead of pooling on the surface or creating slippery spots.

Leaving the protector in place between games is practical since sunlight penetrates the material and reaches the grass below, unlike solid tarps that kill turf within days. For programs that want school branding on the sideline, Chroma-Bond imprinting is applied by hand for a durable finish that holds up through a full season of cleat traffic. For programs that also need protection where the field meets a surrounding track, the sideline track protectors cover those areas. The football special teams mat provides a designated staging area for special teams units on the sideline.
