If you have a long jump pit then you really ought to have it covered when not in use to keep the sand clean and healthy. Just Covers provides customised long jump covers in Melbourne and provides a design and installation service.
Why do long jump pits need to be covered?
In recent years there has been more awareness regarding health and safety when a facility such as a sandpit is left uncovered and open to the elements. A cover protects against health risks from contaminants entering the pit and also stops the sand from being blown around in heavy winds.
We supply long jump covers to Melbourne schools, athletic clubs and government agencies seeking to protect their athletes from potential health risks. A cover keeps out fallen leaves, debris and animal faeces, keeping the facility clean and safe when it’s not in use. Our long jump covers are strong and durable, yet lightweight and easy to manage. Furthermore, they are supplied and installed by our experts and come with a 5-year warranty.
What material is used to manufacture our long-jump covers?
Unlike many of our competitor’s covers which are made from PVC, our bespoke long jump covers are manufactured from woven polythene which comes directly from the USA. There are many benefits associated with using a cover for your long jump pit, including:
- The fabric we use is UV resistant so there’s no worry about your cover fading in bright sunshine or splitting or disintegrating as inferior covers may do.
- Unlike PVC covers which allow rainwater to settle which can create a hazard as well as making the cover difficult to remove, our covers consist of a fine mesh, which means they don’t pool water.
- Finally, the fabric we use is breathable, a bit like a sports shirt, allowing the rainwater to gently soak through into the sand below, gently cleansing it.
Superior construction
PVC covers can be flimsy whereas our covers are reinforced with the addition of welded seams which run across the length of the cover. To add further strength, our long jump covers in Melbourne are also neatly hemmed and come in two stylish colours – Ocean Blue and Forest Green.
Fixtures and fittings
It goes without saying that a long jump cover needs to be properly installed. We provide a variety of fixtures and fittings to attach our long-jump covers securely. These can be used on a variety of surfaces including grass and concrete, as well as for use on pits which are edged with timber or rubber.
Due to our extensive knowledge of long jump covers, we’re well aware of the problems associated with traditional attachments. Consequently, our fittings are designed to be non-trip and non-stub helping to keep athletes safer.
