Product Overview
The Douglas VCP Max Windscreen is a custom-made vinyl coated polyester fabric designed for fences, bleachers, and privacy enclosures at sports facilities. With an 85% windbreak rating, it allows more airflow than closed mesh screens while still providing better visual blockage than open mesh options, making it a versatile choice for fields and courts exposed to wind.
Construction includes Douglas's signature 3-ply extra-strong hems with solid vinyl inserts, double sewn to 1-1/2 inches wide, and #2 brass grommets spaced every 12 inches on the sides and every 18 inches along the top and bottom. Panels taller than 6 ft include a center reinforcement tab sewn with 18 oz. black vinyl for anti-billowing support, and optional air vents (AVR or AV style) are recommended for taller screens or high-wind installations.
Screens are available in standard 6 ft and 9 ft heights, with custom heights and lengths made to order up to a recommended 60 ft maximum per panel. The material supports vibrant full color digital printing directly onto the fabric using UV inks, allowing for custom branding and graphics. Standard colors include Black, Dark Green, and Open Tournament Blue, and the product is backed by a 4-Year limited warranty.
