Infield Tarps Keep Your Softball Field from Becoming a Huge Mud Puddle

Unlike baseball fields, softball fields are often “all dirt,” that is, they do not have grass in the infield. When rain sweeps in, the once hard-as-concrete dirt quickly turns into a quagmire of mud. Before this happens, it is imperative to cover the entire area. Choosing the right fit in infield tarps is possible to save your games during rain showers.

Work with the experts at Richardson Athletics to find an infield tarp that not only protects the dirt but is also easy to maneuver. We carry a variety of full-sized and specialty tarps and tools. Don’t let another rain shower make your field a mucky mess.

Keep the Rain off the Dirt with Infield Tarps

Our infield tarps are not just for baseball. Use them for your softball field with full confidence. Besides infield tarps, look for other specialty coverings and tools to protect your space:

  • Infield Tarps: From 90’ x 90’ to 170’ x 170’, you can find the best fit for your field. Most softball fields can use a 120’ x 120’, but we recommend giving our experts a call with your dimensions to make sure you get the right fit. These tarps come in 6.0, 6.8, and 7.5 oz. poly material. Most high schools can use the 6.0 oz. easily. If you have a dedicated grounds crew, then you may opt for the much heavier 7.5 oz.
  • Tarp Storage Covers: When not in use, store your infield tarp in one of the storage covers we carry. This protects your investment and makes it easier to pull out when needed.
  • Tarp Accessories: You cannot pull out a tarp and hope it stays put. No matter which type of tarp you use, remember to have the appropriate accessories available, such as repair tape, weights, sandbags, and stakes.
  • Bullpen Covers: Give your pitcher a dry place to warm-up with a bullpen cover—no more muddy players before they step up on the mound!
  • Tarp Roller: Make rolling up your tarp much easier with a roller. It can help save backs, too.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

We purchased our Featherweight UltraMax Hose from Richardson Athletics and it has been a game changer!  For the Turf Guys that don’t have large crews or extra hands it is a must!  We are going into our second season with same hose and it stills seems new and is holding up to all of our wear and tear.  It’s a back saver and you can’t go wrong!

We have used Field Armor in our batter’s/catcher’s boxes for several years.  They have been, by far, the best field maintenance improvement we have ever made.  Post-game/post-practice maintenance at home plate is reduced to almost nothing.  The folks at Richardson Athletics are second to none in customer service and have taken care of our program for several years.

I am a Director of Parks and Recreation in my area, I am constantly in need of product and equipment that helps me facilitate the everyday functionality of running a park.  I look for certain things in a company when these needs arise:

  1. A website or catalog that offers an extensive variety of quality product and is easy to navigate through
  2. A company that has competitive prices; if not the best
  3. Customer service that is easily accessible, helpful, and knowledgeable on their product
  4. A company that processes transactions efficiently and headache free
  5. A company that will deliver the exact product I ordered correctly and on time
  6. A company that communicates with their customer
  7. A company that will answer questions and guide me through any issues that may arise

Richardson Athletics answers the call on all the above.  As a former professional athlete, baseball coach and Athletic Director for high school sports, I understand the needs that pertain to maintaining or building sports facilities.  With that being said, I recommend in full confidence Richardson Athletics as your vendor for whatever needs you have.

Northwest Rankin Baseball has been doing business with Richardson for over 10 years. It is one of the most professional, considerate and down to earth companies I deal with. We take a lot of pride in our facility and we continue to move forward each year. Richardson is always the company that we deal with to improve our facility. They have a great relationship with all coaches and are very easy to work with. I would recommend them to all coaches and levels of baseball. Take the time to give them a call and you will be very satisfied like Northwest Rankin Baseball.
