Product Overview
The Douglas Poly-Cap is a corrugated plastic tubing designed to increase fence visibility and protect players from injury on chain-link fences. It creates a more professional appearance on ball fields and is commonly installed on baseball outfield fences, dugouts, and spectator entrance fencing.
Poly-Cap is also well suited for pickleball courts, where it can be applied to the short chain-link dividers between courts to improve visibility and reduce injury risk during aggressive gameplay. The product comes pre-slit and ready to install, with 18 in. UV tie-raps recommended every 3 ft to secure it in place, and an optional installer tool for faster setup.
Due to its size, Poly-Cap ships via freight truck and requires a shipping quote before ordering. It is backed by a 2-Year warranty and is available in 100' or 250' coils in Bright Yellow or Black.
