Frequently Asked Questions

Folding backstop pads are designed for portability and flexible storage — they fold flat, making them easy to move and store when not in use. Built with 2-inch polyurethane foam and 18 oz. coated vinyl, they offer good protection for lower-impact sports like track and field and can be repositioned as needed. Non-folding backstop pads are built for high-impact sports like football and basketball, where maximum protection and a more permanent installation are required. Available in 2-, 3-, or 4-inch foam thicknesses with grommets spaced every 8 inches (versus every 12 inches on folding pads) for a tighter, more secure fit.
Aer-Cushion® outdoor padding is one of the most versatile padding products available — it can be mounted on flat walls, curved columns, doorways, fence posts, overhead obstructions, and other irregular surfaces. The ¾-inch BC exterior grade plywood backing combined with a synthetic resin-based adhesive provides superior bonding and adaptability to a wide range of surface types. For complex installations or non-standard surface configurations, our team can help design a solution specific to your facility.
Yes. All Aer-Flo padding products are available with CHROMA-BOND® or CHROMA-BOND® Digital Imprinting — our proprietary process that prints logos, team names, and full-color graphics directly onto the vinyl surface. This is available on outdoor wall pads, indoor wall pads, TD Zone™ goal post pads, folding and non-folding backstop pads, and rail padding. Digital imprinting opens up unlimited color options and photographic-quality graphics, making padding a visible branding surface on field and in facilities for broadcasts, events, and everyday use.
The primary distinction is the environment and the type of backing required. Aer-Cushion® outdoor padding features plywood backing with UV-resistant vinyl that handles weather exposure, temperature swings, and the structural demands of outdoor wall and fence mounting. Indoor wall pads are engineered for climate-controlled environments like gyms and fieldhouses where UV resistance is less critical but surface cleanliness, appearance, and repeated daily contact are key factors. If your facility has mixed indoor/outdoor spaces — like a covered but open-air stadium concourse — our team can advise on the right product for the specific zone.
Foam thickness should match the impact level and speed of your sport. Two-inch foam is appropriate for lower-contact environments like baseball dugouts, track facilities, and multi-purpose spaces where incidental contact is the primary concern. Three-inch foam is suitable for most field sports and general athletic use. Four-inch foam is recommended for high-impact environments like football and basketball where players can hit padding at full sprint or during contact plays. When in doubt, err toward thicker foam — the difference in cost is minimal compared to the protection benefit. Our team can recommend the right spec based on your sport and pad location.
Yes. Aer-Flo padding products are available in standard sizes and can also be custom-built to your facility's exact dimensions — including non-standard shapes, curved surfaces, and multi-panel systems. TD Zone™ goal post pads come in a standard 6-foot height and are also available in custom configurations. For walls, columns, rails, and other specific installation points, our team will help identify whether a standard size fits your application or a custom spec is needed.
