Soccer windscreen buyer's guide
Soccer runs are long, which makes wind load and takedown labor the real costs, not the fabric. Most clubs over-order length and under-plan storage. The screen's jobs are practice privacy, a clean fence line from the road and a place for the club's name and its sponsors.
Key takeaways
- Recommended blockage for soccer: 89% open mesh on the sidelines.
- Standard panel to start from: 6 ft × 100 ft sections, so two people can take a run down.
- Go heavier only where a printed panel needs a solid ground or a sideline faces the street.
- Label every panel to its run before it comes down for winter.
01 Who buys it here
School athletic directors and club directors of operations buy the plain screen. Sponsor-printed panels are often bought by the marketing or booster side of the same organization, so the two orders should be sized to the same fence so the printed sections drop into the run.
02 Sizes that fit this venue
Order to the fence height you measured. Screens are finished 4 in shorter than the fence so the panel sits inside the top and bottom rails, and lengths run in 50 ft sections.

03 Blockage for soccer
Temporary tournament fencing and fences that go up and down with the season.
Practice privacy and a clean fence line with the airflow a long open run needs. The pick for most fields.
The sideline that faces the street, and runs that carry a printed club or sponsor panel.
89% on the sidelines: it hides practice from the road, it breathes on a fence that runs a few hundred feet across open ground, and it takes a printed panel wherever the club wants one. Step up to 95% on the sideline that faces the parking lot or the street. Temporary tournament fencing takes the 85% temporary screens that go up and down with the event.
04 The series that apply
The two or three screens that fit this venue, priced per foot on a 6 ft fence.
05 Install and season timing
Two people per 100 ft panel, about an hour with UV-rated ties through every grommet. Sectioning a long run at 50 ft or 100 ft halves the takedown time in the fall and means a repair is one section, not the whole touchline. Long runs concentrate load at the ends, so triple the ties at each end and at every corner.
-
Section long runs
100 ft pieces beat one 300 ft panel for handling, storage and repair.
-
Triple the ends
Long runs concentrate load at the ends and corners; tie those twice over.
-
Label for storage
Mark each panel to its run before it comes down.
