Description
Rain spot tarps are often used around the infield of baseball and softball fields. Applying infield spot covers during rain or routine turf maintenance will protect high traffic areas of the field that are prone to damage during games and practice. Field tarps protect the dirt around home plate, the pitcher's mound, as well as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd base to ensure your team's grounds remain game ready.
Our preferred fabric for baseball spot covers is 18-ounce vinyl coated polyester. This fabric features excellent UV resistance and has proven its durability for generations around MLB parks. This fabric is assembled using heat seal seams which are virtually invisible and 100% waterproof. Around the perimeter of the tarp will be a webbing reinforced hem with grommets about every 3'. We offer standard sizes of 10', 15', 18', 20', 25', 26', and 30' in round as well as 10' and 15' in square tarps. However, infield spot tarps can be custom built to match any dimensions you provide.
Infield Spot Cover Tarps with grommets provide easy installation and sturdy use typically using stakes or spikes. This is the most common installation method but is also the most time consuming, and the use of stakes or spikes leaves holes in the turf when removed. Our 40 LBS sandbags do an excellent job of holding the tarp in place. If selecting the sandbags, we recommend using one bag for about every 3' of edge. Using the 14'10" square tarp as an example, there will be close to 60' of edge and therefore 20 sandbags are needed.
18oz Waterproof Vinyl Fabric Construction
18 ounce vinyl coated polyester is the fabric truck drivers use to cover loads of steel or lumber being hauled on a flatbed. This material has excellent UV resistance and has proven itself for decades in the transportation industry.
Truck drivers travel at interstate speeds in harsh climates covering abrasive cargo and despite these conditions get several years of usage. 18oz vinyl is our most commonly used and sold material we build our tarps with.
Though 18oz is used for big portion of our tarps, there's similar materials we offer with different weights and strength, such as 14oz and 22oz.
