Product Overview
The Douglas Batter's Eye Windscreen Material is designed to create a solid, contrasting backdrop in center field, helping batters focus on the pitched ball without visual distractions from the background. It is made from durable vinyl coated polyester in an open mesh construction that provides 80% windbreak, allowing enough air to pass through to reduce wind damage while maintaining a dark, uncluttered sightline for hitters.
While a common size is around 20 ft. high by 40 ft. long, each batter's eye screen is custom fabricated to the exact specifications of the field or facility. Teams and organizations can also personalize their screen with digital printing to display logos or branding. Note that the framework and installation accessories required to mount the screen are not included with the purchase of the windscreen material itself.
