High Jump Landing Systems

• Aesthetic and functional design eliminates spike contact with base units and unevenness at the edge of the pit. This Gill exclusive feature will increase the life of your new pit and improve safety near the edges.

• Using exclusive 17 x 11 1000 denier material increases the life of your top pad and stands up to repeated use better than any on the market.

• Soft and durable foam creates confidence in every practice. Coaches can teach with assurance because of this industry leading design.

• Designed to evenly distribute the force from the athlete's landing, V-Loop straps eliminate tears compared to traditionally designed pits that put undue stress on the seams.

• Extend the life of your pit; Gill's top pads are designed to use either side safely and easily.

• Top Pad is connected to base pads with carbiner side attachments, eliminating any obstruction on top of the pit. This detail provides an obstruction-free landing area with athletes' safety in mind.

• Exclusive to Gill landing systems, this unique design keeps water out of your pit better than old-school mesh top units. Protecting the foam from water extends the life of your landing system.

• New design provides reversible sections for maximum interchangeability. This adds years to the life of your pit by maximizing the usage and size of the athlete's landing area.

• Athletes need to know they are landing safely and comfortably. Gill's new quadruple Duralife foam is 25% softer than others yet with firmness necessary for the safest landings.

• Evenly distributed 1000 x 1000 denier polyester fabric is bonded on both sides with 18oz knife-coated PVC Vinyl. The exclusive fabric design eliminates vinyl delamination seen in other pits after years of use. This creates the most durable casing on the market that is lighter than the other pits.

• Gill's entire landing system is stitched with the industry's strongest 210 bonded polyester thread. Simply put, your new Gill pit comes triple stitched with the toughest thread in the industry to hold up to high volume practices.

• A pit is safest when constructed as an integrated system. Gill's Grip Strip Fastening System will keep your base sections functioning as one unit season after season.

• Gill Athletics cares about the environment and your budget. All landing systems are expertly packed and shipped utilizing Compress-Pack shipping, reducing freight volume, lowering fuel consumption and shipping costs. Pits restore to original size and shape quickly after unpacking.

• A long-term warranty is only as dependable as the company standing behind it. After 100 years, you can count on Gill to stand behind your landing system for years to come. If any failure occurs in the first 12 years, under normal use and care, we will repair or replace the damaged part.

• Choose from over 100 unique vinyl casing and top pad color combinations. Select your vinyl casing (xx) and top pad (yy) color combination. Add distinction with multi-color graphics on the top pad, weather cover, or both.

The Gill Custom Graphic (60" x 60") for a Landing System Top Pad adds a custom, multi-color screen-printed graphic, your school logo, mascot, or name, to the top pad of a high jump or pole vault landing system. A branded top pad turns a functional piece of safety equipment into a striking centerpiece for your facility, showing school pride to athletes, spectators, and cameras during home meets.

The Gill Water Shed Insert is a simple device that meaningfully extends the life of your high jump and pole vault landing systems. Placed under the weather cover, it prevents water from pooling in the natural low spots that form on a pit's surface, stopping the standing water that stretches covers, seeps into seams, and accelerates foam breakdown. For a small investment, it protects one of the largest equipment expenses in your program.

Key features & specs:

• Prevents water pooling on the weather cover's low spots
• Works with high jump and pole vault landing systems
• Promotes runoff to protect the cover and foam beneath
• Simple to position under any fitted weather cover
• Low-cost way to extend landing-system service life

Coach's tip: Position the insert under the cover at the pit's lowest points so water sheds toward the edges, and check it after heavy rain or snow. Pair it with a properly fitted weather cover for the best protection, and store it with the cover in the off-season.

The Gill AGX HJ Base Pad provides protective padding around the base of Gill AGX high jump standards, helping meet NFHS safety requirements by cushioning athletes who land on or near the standard base. As jumpers clear the bar and come down, incidental contact with a standard base is a real risk; this pad absorbs that impact and keeps athletes safer through every attempt. It is engineered to pair specifically with the AGX standard system for a clean, secure fit.

Key features & specs:

• Cushions the base of Gill AGX high jump standards
• Helps meet NFHS high jump safety requirements
• Purpose-built to fit the AGX standard system
• Installs easily and stays in place through competition
• Completes a compliant, competition-ready high jump area

Coach's tip: Confirm you are running Gill AGX standards before ordering, since this pad is sized for that system. Check the fit at the start of each season, and store the pad dry between uses to protect the cover and preserve the foam's cushioning.

The Gill High Jump Standard Base Pads add an important layer of safety to the high jump area by cushioning the exposed bases of the standards, where athletes can make incidental contact as they clear the bar and land. Each pad wraps the base in dense foam encased in bright yellow vinyl, both softening impact and clearly marking the standard for jumpers and officials. Sold in pairs so both standards are protected for a complete, compliant setup.

Key features & specs:

• 19" x 19" x 2" thick foam pad for impact protection
• Encased in high-visibility yellow vinyl
• Cushions the exposed high jump standard bases
• Bright color improves visibility for athletes and officials
• Sold in pairs for both standards

Coach's tip: Seat the pads firmly around each standard base and check placement before every session, since bases shift during setup. Wipe them down and store them dry in the off-season to protect the vinyl and keep the foam resilient for years of use.

The Gill G1 High Jump Pit strikes an ideal balance between landing area and footprint, measuring 18' x 10' x 26" — big enough to satisfy high school safety requirements while remaining size-efficient for facilities that can't accommodate a flagship pit.

The Gill S4 High Jump Pit delivers a competition-ready landing system in a footprint compact enough for facilities with limited runway space. Measuring 16'-6" x 10' x 26" and finished with a durable vinyl cover over a top-pad (TP) surface, the S4 gives high school and collegiate programs a generous, safe landing zone without demanding the space of a full flagship pit.

Key features & specs

• Durable vinyl cover with a top-pad (TP) landing surface
• Compact footprint suited to space-limited facilities
• Vinyl exterior is easy to clean and resists the outdoor elements

The Gill Essentials High Jump Pit is an economical landing system that delivers full high-school compliance without the premium price tag, making it a go-to choice for programs building or replacing a high jump area on a budget.
