Porter Square Pole Pad; 5"

Cover exposed square posts and protect your athletes with the Porter Square Pole Pad (5"). This full-height wrap pads the hard edges of a 5" square upright, cushioning incidental contact around basketball systems, standards, and other court-side posts where players run and compete at speed.

Key features & specs:

• Sized to fit 5" square poles
• 6' tall padding covers the primary player-contact zone
• Classic black finish blends into any facility
• Cushions incidental contact to reduce injury risk near the post
• Wraps the upright for full-perimeter protection
• A smart, low-cost safety upgrade for gyms and multipurpose facilities
• Helps facilities meet safety expectations for padded court-side posts

Coach's tip: Position the pad so its full 6' height covers the zone where players are most likely to make contact, and secure it snugly so it doesn't rotate or slide down during fast-break play. Check the fastening periodically through the season, since a loose pad protects no one. Wipe the vinyl surface clean and let it dry before storage to keep the cover and foam in good condition.
