Deland, Florida – Putterman Athletics continues to expand its line of athletic facility safety products with SafeGard™ Modular Rail Padding and FoamGard™ Top Rail Padding. These game-changing padding solutions are designed to help facilities improve player protection, reduce liability, and enhance the finished look of courts, fields, and fenced play areas.
SafeGard™ Modular Rail Padding is a two-component system engineered to deliver durable protection along chain-link fence rails. The system combines expanded polyethylene tubular foam with a co-extruded UV-resistant skin and a custom vinyl cover for a clean, professional appearance. The vinyl cover is available in multiple colors and custom logoing, helping facilities coordinate colors and branding across the venue.
For a simpler look or a budget-conscious project, FoamGard™ Top Rail Padding offers a streamlined padding solution that fits standard chain-link fence rails. FoamGard is a lightweight, recyclable polyethylene foam option designed to help keep players and spectators safer while maintaining ease of handling and installation. Available in black only, its wear-resistant outer layer offers superior impact protection.
“SafeGard and FoamGard reflect our continued commitment to developing durable, practical safety solutions for modern athletic facilities,” said Randy Futty, Executive Vice President of Business Development at Putterman Athletics. “These products make it easier for venues to enhance player protection while maintaining a clean, professional look that fits their brand and budget.”
SafeGard and FoamGard are ideal for tennis courts, pickleball facilities, baseball and softball complexes, and other athletic venues with fencing to support both safety and appearance. Putterman’s broader safety padding line emphasizes athlete protection, reduced liability, customization, and installation flexibility across indoor and outdoor sports environments.
Putterman Athletics is a leading U.S. manufacturer of athletic facility equipment and safety solutions, providing windscreens, padding systems, court equipment, and custom graphics for schools, clubs, and sports venues nationwide since 1920.
