Pole Vault Weather Covers

Extend your program's branding across every surface of the pit with the Gill Custom Graphic Landing System Weather Cover Side Panel. Add your school name or logo to the front extension panels of your landing system weather cover, so your team colors and identity carry all the way around the pit area at home meets and invitationals.

Key features & specs:

• Custom logo or school-name graphic applied to landing system side/front extension panels
• Available as horizontal or vertical front extensions
• Price is for one extension only — both extensions can be customized

A great way to complete a fully branded landing system when paired with a custom top pad or main weather cover. Submit approved vector artwork when ordering and allow for production lead time ahead of your season. To protect the graphic, keep the cover clean, store it dry, and shield it from prolonged UV exposure when the pit isn't in use.

The bun casing side panel is the largest, most forward-facing surface on Gill's Ultimate Series landing systems — the first thing athletes, officials, and spectators see when they approach the pit area. Adding a custom graphic to this panel maximizes the branding impact of the landing system investment, converting a standard competition pit into a distinctive, professional facility feature that reflects school pride and program identity at every meet.

• Maximum Facility Branding Impact — The bun casing side panel faces the runway and spectator areas directly, making it the highest-visibility surface on the landing system for custom school logos, mascots, program names, and multi-color artwork — the most effective single location to establish a program's visual identity in the field events area
• Full Multi-Color Custom Graphic Printing — Gill's graphic printing process applies full multi-color artwork directly to the Dual Coated Vinyl casing material, delivering sharp, vibrant color reproduction that holds up through outdoor exposure, UV light, and repeated seasonal use without fading or peeling over the system's service life

• Dual Coated Vinyl Casing Substrate — Artwork is applied to Gill's exclusive Dual Coated Vinyl material — 1000 x 1000 denier polyester bonded on both sides with 18oz knife-coated PVC vinyl — providing a dimensionally stable, waterproof, abrasion-resistant printing surface that maintains graphic integrity through years of outdoor athletic facility use
• Vector Artwork Required — 15-Day Production Lead Time — Custom graphic orders require submission of vector artwork in accepted file formats; Gill's production team reviews and approves submissions before printing begins, with a standard 15-day lead time from artwork approval to shipment — advance ordering before season-opening meets and championship hosting dates is strongly recommended
• Pairs with Weather Cover and Top Pad Graphics — The bun casing side panel graphic can be ordered alongside Gill's weather cover and top pad custom graphic options to create a fully branded landing system with consistent school colors and artwork across every visible surface of the pit area
