Product Overview
Douglas Guard Rail Padding is designed to protect players from dangerous ricochets along dugout rails and other field equipment while adding a professional look to any facility. The wraparound pads use a 1 in. thick prime polyurethane high-density foam core (100+ ILD) for consistent cushioning, encased in a heavy-duty 18 oz vinyl shell with UV and weather protection coating for long-term outdoor durability.
Each pad is edged with a 1.5 in. wide perimeter vinyl flap that is double-sewn with high tensile strength thread, and secured with heavy-duty #2 brass grommets spaced every 6 in. Standard pads fit up to a 2 in. diameter pipe, with custom sizes available for other diameters. Pads are sold per linear foot up to a maximum of 10 ft. per piece and are typically installed using UV-protected tie wraps or lacing cord, sold separately.
Guard rail pads are available in nine standard colors and can be customized with UV digital printing for team names or logos, either across the full pad or just the front face. The padding meets NFHS, NCAA, and ASBA requirements and is backed by the Douglas Standard Limited Warranty.
