Sideline Track Protectors

Description

Sideline track protectors are designed for facilities where the football field sits inside the running track and players, coaches, and equipment regularly cross or stand on the track surface during games and practices. Made of tough polypropylene geotextile with double-stitched vinyl edging, these sideline track protectors shield your running surface from steel-tipped cleats, shoes, and wheeled equipment in the bench zone areas.

Specifications:

• Material: polypropylene geotextile with double-stitched vinyl edging
• Steel chain inserted into vinyl edging for ballast — no stakes, staples, or sandbags needed
• Porous design allows rain to drain through
• Brightly colored edging (standard white or yellow) for visibility; custom edge colors available
• Longer protectors ship in sections to reduce handling weight and simplify installation
• Custom sizes available (call or email for pricing)
• Fixed shipping rate applies due to product size and weight

The chain-weighted edging keeps the sideline track protectors flat and anchored in windy conditions without any hardware that could puncture or scratch the running surface. The porous geotextile material lets rainwater pass through rather than pooling, so the protector surface stays safe for players walking across it during wet-weather games. Longer protectors arrive in manageable sections that overlap when laid out, making setup and teardown practical for a grounds crew working on a game-day timeline.

These protectors cover the bench zone and sideline areas along the straightaways. For the entry points where foot traffic is heaviest, the track crossover protector handles concentrated wear at gates and tunnel exits. The Vipol Matrix Mesh track protector offers a premium mesh option for cross-over zones. For sideline turf protectors designed for synthetic turf fields, that option is available separately.
