Gill Flat PV Standard Base Pads

The Gill Flat PV Standard Base Pads deliver critical protection at the base of your pole vault standards — one of the most overlooked collision points in the event. Positioned around the standard bases, they shield vaulters from hard contact and protect expensive poles from impact damage during vaults and dismounts. For any program running pole vault, base pads are a fundamental safety investment that keeps athletes confident and equipment intact.

Key features & specs

• Fits 28" tall Gill systems and all standards with center-mounted uprights
• Protects vaulters from impact with the bases of the pole vault standards
• Also shields poles from hitting the standard bases
• Flat profile designed for center-mounted upright configurations
• Sold in pairs (one per standard)

Coach's tip: Confirm your standards use center-mounted uprights before ordering — the flat profile is designed specifically for that configuration. Care: Wipe the vinyl surface clean, allow to dry before storage, and inspect the pads for compression or tears at the start of each season to ensure they still cushion effectively.
