Frequently Asked Questions
Aluminum covers are the better choice when you need a rigid, walkable surface and maximum protection. They are ideal for offseason use, higher-traffic facilities, or locations where security and durability matter more than quick daily removal.
Yes. Rigid aluminum panels create a stable surface that can be walked on when the pit is covered, which helps reduce hazards around the facility when the pit is not in use.
By fully enclosing the pit, they prevent sand from blowing onto the track and stop debris from entering the pit. This helps reduce cleanup time and keeps surrounding track surfaces in better condition.
Recessed covers allow synthetic track surfacing to be applied on top for a seamless look, while flush covers sit level without surfacing. The right choice depends on whether aesthetics or simplicity is the priority for your facility.
They create a solid barrier over the pit, reducing the risk of accidental entry and making the area safer for general use when track and field events are not in season.
