Track and field perimeter windscreen
Windscreens and privacy for the fence around a track, the throwing cages and the fences between the track and the practice fields.
What matters at this venue
A track fence runs a long way around open ground, and most of it exists to keep people and stray balls where they belong. The screen's job is to calm the wind on the home straight, give the facility a clean edge from the road, and keep the practice fields inside the oval out of view when the coach wants them private.
An 89% open mesh does that on the long runs. It breathes on a fence that circles a quarter mile, it hides the infield from the parking lot, and it carries the school's printed panels at the finish line where the crowd gathers. Throwing cages and short runs that want a full backdrop step up to 95%.
Wind on the straight
Sprints and hurdles feel a headwind. A screened windward run gives the home straight a calmer lane.
A quarter mile of fence
Long runs mean long wind loads. An open mesh keeps the posts happy; every grommet gets a tie.
The finish line is the stage
Printed panels at the finish line and the gate carry the school's colors for the meet photos and the crowd.

How much blockage for track & field?
Exposed sites and the longest runs, where breaking the wind matters more than hiding the infield.
A calm straight and a clean facility edge with the airflow a long fence needs. The pick for most tracks.
Throwing cages, short braced runs and the finish-line panels where you want a solid backdrop.
