Standard Pole Vault Pit Identification Guide

Find your existing pit style to guarantee a perfect-fit replacement cover.

A replacement weather cover only protects your investment if it matches your footprint

 Settle for a generic, sloppy fit, and it will trap water, catch the wind, and prematurely wear down your foam. We have mapped out the track industry’s four most common standard pole vault pit footprints. Use this visual directory to identify which layout is currently sitting on your field. Once you match your style, you can download the exact measurement sheet needed for our team to fabricate a precise, commercial-grade shield.
