Foul Poles

Baseball Foul Poles and Softball Foul Poles for Every Field

Whether you're outfitting a youth complex, a high school diamond, a college field, or a stadium, the right foul pole depends on height, mounting method, and how permanent your installation needs to be. This collection brings together baseball foul poles and softball foul poles from two brands JoySportStore carries: Jaypro (12 models) and Gared (5 models). Heights available include 12 ft., 15 ft., 20 ft., 30 ft., and 40 ft., with pricing from $123 to $21,012 depending on size, pair configuration, and mounting hardware.

Because foul poles sit at the boundary of fair territory, they need to be tall enough to give umpires and players a clear vertical reference above the outfield fence. Smaller fields and softball setups often use 12 ft. or 20 ft. poles, while regulation baseball fields and stadiums step up to 30 ft. and 40 ft. options.

Foul Pole Heights: 12 ft. to 40 ft.

Choosing a height starts with your fence line and level of play. In this collection you'll find:

• 12 ft. — Jaypro Collegiate baseball/softball and softball models, plus the Gared 12' Stadium Inground pair. A good fit for shorter outfield fences and youth or recreational fields.
• 15 ft. — Gared 15' Stadium Inground pair, a middle option for fields between recreational and regulation height.
• 20 ft. — Multiple Jaypro Professional and Collegiate baseball and softball poles, plus surface-mount and semi-permanent choices. A common height for many high school and softball fields.
• 30 ft. — Jaypro Professional and Collegiate baseball/softball options and Gared Stadium poles in both inground and surface-mount. Suited to regulation baseball and larger complexes.
• 40 ft. — Jaypro Professional Baseball surface-mount poles for the tallest applications, such as stadiums with high outfield walls.

Mounting Options: Surface Mount, Semi-Permanent, and Inground

How you anchor a foul pole affects installation, cost, and whether the pole can be removed. The catalog covers three approaches:

• Surface mount — Poles like the Jaypro Professional 40 ft. and 20 ft. Softball, and the Gared 30' Stadium Surface Mount pair, bolt to a prepared concrete footing or base plate at grade. This makes them easier to service and can suit fields where deep excavation isn't practical.
• Semi-permanent — The majority of Jaypro poles in this collection are semi-permanent, using a ground sleeve so the pole can be set firmly yet lifted out when needed for storage or field maintenance.
• Inground — The Gared BSPOLE Stadium series (12', 15', 20P, 30') is designed for inground installation, embedding the pole for a fixed, stadium-grade setup.

Match the mounting style to how often you expect to remove poles and to your groundskeeping plan. Semi-permanent sleeves offer flexibility; inground and surface-mount options prioritize a fixed, finished look.

Professional vs. Collegiate Models

Jaypro lists both Professional and Collegiate foul poles in this collection. Professional models appear in 20 ft., 30 ft., and 40 ft. heights for baseball and softball, while Collegiate models are offered in 12 ft., 20 ft., and 30 ft. for baseball/softball and softball. Choosing between them comes down to your program level and the height and mounting configuration you need. Both lines are offered in yellow on several baseball models, the standard high-visibility color that helps umpires make fair/foul calls.

Buying a Single Pole vs. a Pair

A regulation field needs a foul pole at each corner of the outfield — one down the left-field line and one down the right. Several Gared Stadium listings are sold as a pair (for example, the 12', 15', 20', and 30' BSPOLE models), which covers both baseline positions in one purchase. Many Jaypro listings are configured individually, so confirm the quantity on the product page and order two if you're equipping a full field. The wide price span in this collection — $123 to $21,012 — largely reflects the difference between shorter single poles and tall stadium pairs with full mounting hardware.

How to Choose the Right Foul Pole

Work through these factors before buying:

• Level of play: Youth and recreational fields often use 12–20 ft. poles; high school, college, and stadium fields step up to 20–40 ft.
• Sport: The collection includes dedicated softball foul poles and baseball foul poles, plus combined baseball/softball Collegiate models.
• Fence height: The pole should extend well above your outfield fence to give a clear vertical line.
• Mounting: Pick surface mount, semi-permanent, or inground based on your footing, removal needs, and maintenance routine.
• Quantity: Buy a pair or two singles to cover both foul lines.
• Budget: With options from $123 to $21,012, there's a fit for tight budgets and full stadium builds.

Brands: Jaypro and Gared

JoySportStore carries foul poles from Jaypro and Gared. Jaypro's range in this collection is the broadest, covering Professional and Collegiate builds across baseball and softball in surface-mount and semi-permanent versions. Gared's BSPOLE Stadium series focuses on inground and surface-mount poles sold in pairs, from 12' up to 30'. Both brands give you clear height and mounting choices so you can match the pole to your field and installation.
