Wind-Weighted^® Tarps

These wind-weighed tarps are the famous ones used by every level of baseball: from the Little Leagues, high schools and colleges and universities, to the Minor and Major Leagues. And there’s a great reason that these tarps are so popular, as they stay in place and keep a field fully protected and dry, even in high winds and rough weather conditions. And there is never a need to use stakes, sandbags, or similar objects, as the weight of the tarp keeps it firmly on the ground, no matter what the weather conditions.

Wind-Weighted® Covers

They stay put in high winds without stakes or sandbags.

Chain in the entire perimeter keeps wind from getting under, so they do not move or blow away. Remarkably, Wind Weighted Tarps have encountered hurricane force winds and did not move from the mound and home plate.
