Long and triple jump pits require consistent upkeep to stay clean, level, and competition-ready. Weighted mesh and vinyl sand pit covers by Sportsfield Specialties provide a simple, effective way to protect the sand surface between uses. Designed to prevent debris contamination while allowing airflow, these covers help maintain proper pit conditions without trapping moisture underneath.
Constructed from tear- and UV-resistant mesh combined with durable vinyl, the cover balances protection and breathability. This design helps keep out leaves, trash, and animals while allowing water to drain through, reducing maintenance demands for facility staff. An integrated weighted perimeter keeps the cover securely in place, eliminating the need for stakes or additional anchoring and making daily deployment quick and efficient.
Ideal for high school, collegiate, and municipal track facilities, these covers are built for frequent use throughout the season. By keeping sand contained and clean, they help reduce the time and effort required to prepare the pit for practice or competition.
For a complete long and triple jump setup, sand pit covers can be used alongside long / triple jump take-off boards to maintain both the landing area and the runway approach. While the cover protects the sand pit when not in use, the take-off board provides the precise launch point during competition, allowing facilities to maintain consistent performance across the entire jumping system.
By combining surface protection with performance-focused runway components, facilities can extend the life of their jumping areas, reduce maintenance, and deliver a cleaner, more reliable environment for athletes.
