The Brutus HS is Gill's heavy-wind solution for high school discus facilities — built when a standard 2-7/8" pole cage isn't enough. The 4" outside diameter, .218" thick-wall aluminum poles provide the structural mass needed to resist deflection in windy conditions, keeping the cage stable and the net properly positioned during competition regardless of weather. Available in 6-pole or 7-pole configuration and custom color options.

• Hammer Cage-Strength 4" Aluminum Poles — 4" outside diameter, .218" thick-wall aluminum poles provide significantly greater structural rigidity than the standard 2-7/8" HS cage poles, resisting wind-induced deflection and maintaining net geometry during high-wind competition conditions where standard cages flex or shift
• 6-Pole or 7-Pole Configuration — Available in standard 6-pole layout or 7-pole design — the 7-pole configuration extends the net forward from the sides to comply with the 34.92° sector requirement while providing a less restrictive feel for throwers during approach and release
• 14'4" Net Height — Cage stands 14'4" tall, providing adequate containment height for discus throws at the high school competition level while meeting NFHS net height specifications for sanctioned competition use
• UV-Stabilized Nylon Net — 180 lb Break Strength — High school-spec nylon 6 main net with 180 lb break strength resists UV degradation through outdoor exposure, maintaining net integrity and containment reliability through a full outdoor season of competition and training use
• Ground Sleeves and Net Arms Included — Complete installation package includes ground sleeves for permanent in-ground pole installation and net arms to hold the net in proper position at the front of the cage — everything needed for a full cage installation in one purchase
• Custom Color Options Available — NFHS Compliant — 5-Year Warranty — Available in custom color configurations for an additional cost to match school and facility colors; meets all NFHS specifications for sanctioned high school discus competition; backed by Gill's 5-year manufacturer warranty

The Gill Aluminum Shot Cage provides a safe, compliant enclosure for shot put practice and competition, protecting athletes, coaches, and spectators from errant throws at the high school and collegiate level. Aluminum construction offers excellent strength-to-weight performance and corrosion resistance, suiting both permanent and portable outdoor installations, and it holds up through years of heavy use at tracks that host multiple field events at once.

Coach's tip: Position the cage so the sector opening points away from runways and other event areas, and confirm net tension and pole seating before each session. Inspect the netting for wear each season and replace worn panels promptly to keep the cage competition-legal. Its lighter weight also makes it easier to reposition than a comparable steel cage when your event layout changes.

The Gill Steel Shot Cage provides a safe, compliant enclosure for shot put practice and competition, protecting athletes, coaches, and spectators from errant throws. Built with powder-coated A513 steel poles and weather-treated nylon netting, it's engineered for durability through years of heavy outdoor use, and hinged net arms plus ground sleeves keep the structure stable and the netting properly positioned throughout competition.

Key features & specs:

• A513 powder-coated steel poles for durability
• Weather-treated Nylon 6 net with 180 lb break strength
• Net height of 13'6" for effective containment
• 18" hinged net arms secure the net at the front two poles; ground stakes at the back

The Gill Porter Vinyl Floor Covering (19 oz, 10' Wide) is an economical way to turn your gymnasium into a true multi-use facility, protecting the hardwood or synthetic court during assemblies, concerts, graduations, trade shows, and other non-athletic events. The tough 19 oz polyester-reinforced vinyl shrugs off foot traffic, chairs, and staging while helping reduce floor maintenance, and it meets the fire-safety standards required for public assembly spaces.

Key features & specs:

A transport cart and power winder make setup and takedown a fast two-person job; store the cover clean and dry to extend its life. Specify your exact length and color when ordering.
