Gill Essentials HJ Pit; 16' X 8' X 24"

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. In place of a traditional top pad, the Essentials system uses a skirted mesh top that draws the units together for a snug, stable fit — keeping the landing surface tight and unified through every jump.

Coach's tip: pair the pit with the matching Gill weather cover to shield the foam between meets and dramatically extend its service life. Store the pit indoors or covered when possible, spot-clean the vinyl and mesh with mild soap and water, and keep the units dry to prevent foam breakdown over the seasons.
