Foul Poles

Baseball Foul Poles & Softball Foul Poles for Every Level of Play

Foul poles mark fair territory down the first- and third-base lines, and the right pole depends on whether you're outfitting a baseball field or a softball field. Our Jaypro lineup separates the two clearly: baseball-specific Professional (40 ft. and 30 ft.) and Collegiate (30 ft., 20 ft., 12 ft.) poles, plus dedicated softball Professional and Collegiate poles at 30 ft., 20 ft., and 12 ft. Several Jaypro Collegiate poles are labeled Baseball/Softball, making them a flexible pick for multi-use complexes that host both sports on the same footprint. Gared's five Stadium foul poles (12', 15', 20', and 30') are sold in pairs and are not sport-specific by name, so they fit either baseball or softball layouts depending on your fence height and field dimensions.

Collegiate vs. Professional Grade

Jaypro splits its catalog into Collegiate and Professional tiers. Professional poles reach the tallest heights in the lineup — 40 ft. for baseball and 30 ft. for softball — while Collegiate poles top out at 30 ft. and scale down to 20 ft. and 12 ft. for lower fences or younger age groups. If you're comparing the price of softball foul poles across grades, the Collegiate softball poles generally sit at a different price point than the Professional softball poles, so match the grade to your league's field specifications before ordering.

Foul Pole Sizes: 12 ft to 40 ft

Foul pole height is one of the first things to confirm against your outfield fence and any local league rules. Across this collection you'll find:

• 12 ft. — Jaypro Collegiate (Baseball/Softball) and Jaypro 12 ft. Softball Collegiate; Gared 12' Stadium (pair)
• 15 ft. — Gared 15' Stadium Inground (pair)
• 20 ft. — Jaypro Professional Baseball (Semi-Permanent), Jaypro Collegiate Baseball/Softball, Jaypro Softball Professional and Collegiate; Gared 20' Stadium Inground (pair)
• 30 ft. — Jaypro Professional Baseball, Jaypro Collegiate Baseball/Softball, Jaypro Softball Professional and Collegiate; Gared 30' Stadium Inground and 30' Stadium Surface Mount (pairs)
• 40 ft. — Jaypro Professional Baseball (Surface Mount, Yellow)

Shorter 12-15 ft. poles typically suit youth and rec-league fences, while 20-30 ft. poles are common for high school and college diamonds. The 40 ft. Jaypro Professional pole is the tallest option in the collection, built for stadium-scale outfield fencing.

Surface Mount, Semi-Permanent & Inground Foul Poles

How a foul pole anchors to your field matters as much as its height. This collection includes three mounting styles:

• Surface Mount — bolts to an above-ground base or pad; used on the Jaypro 40 ft. Professional baseball pole, the Jaypro 20 ft. Softball Professional pole, and the Gared 30' Stadium Surface Mount pair.
• Semi-Permanent — sets into a sleeve for a fixed but removable install; this is the mounting style for most Jaypro poles in the lineup, including the 30 ft., 20 ft., and 12 ft. Collegiate and Professional baseball/softball models.
• Inground — cemented directly into the ground for a permanent stadium installation; used on the full Gared Stadium series (12', 15', 20', and 30' pairs).

Confirm your existing footing or sleeve setup before ordering, since swapping mounting styles usually means modifying the base, not just the pole.

Jaypro vs. Gared Foul Poles

Jaypro is the larger brand in this collection with 12 listings covering both baseball and softball, Collegiate and Professional grades, and all three mounting types from 12 ft. up to 40 ft. Gared's 5 listings are all Stadium-series poles sold in pairs, spanning 12 ft. to 30 ft. with Inground and Surface Mount options. If you need sport-specific grading (baseball vs. softball, Collegiate vs. Professional), Jaypro's lineup gives you more precise matches. If you're outfitting both foul lines at once and want a matched pair from a single SKU, Gared's pole pairs simplify that order.

Pricing: What Foul Poles Cost

Prices across the collection span from $123 up to $21,012, reflecting the difference between a short 12 ft. semi-permanent pole and a full 40 ft. professional surface-mount pole pair with stadium-grade hardware. Shorter Collegiate poles and single semi-permanent units sit at the lower end of that range, while taller Professional-grade poles and Gared's paired Stadium poles — especially the 30 ft. Inground and Surface Mount pairs — account for the higher end. Compare height, mounting style, and whether the listing is a single pole or a pair before checking the price of softball or baseball foul poles side by side.
