Protect Players and Elevate Your Field

Player Safety at Every Edge

A chain-link fence topper eliminates the exposed twisted wire and jagged edges that cause cuts and lacerations when players reach over or collide with the top of the fence. Outfield fence toppers are especially critical where players leap to make catches at the wall.

Pre-Slit for Fast Installation

SafeFoam fence post padding slides over any round or square post up to 2 inches in diameter with no tools or hardware required. The pre-slit design means one person can pad an entire fence line in a single session.

Built for More Than Fence Tops

SafeFoam works on outfield fences, backstop rails, batting cage frames, dugout railings, and bullpen posts. Anywhere an exposed pipe or rail creates a contact point, this padding fits.

Standard and Premium Options

Standard SafeFoam is an economical baseball fence topper that covers the basics. Premium SafeFoam adds a tighter fit and a cleaner seam for facilities that want a polished, professional-grade look.

Complete Your Field's Perimeter Protection

Fence top padding covers the most exposed edge on your field, but a complete safety layout extends from the backstop to the outfield wall and everything in between. Pair fence top padding with outfield wall padding to protect players chasing fly balls, backstop padding to absorb impact behind home plate, and fence rail and post padding to wrap the structural pipe that runs along dugouts and sidelines. Our stadium and field padding guide covers recommended thicknesses, mounting options, and how to plan a full-field padding layout.

Meeting NCAA Fence Top Padding Requirements

Starting in 2027, NCAA Rule 2.15 requires all baseball and softball venues to pad every hard surface a player could collide with. Fence tops on outfield walls, sideline fences, and dugout perimeters all fall under this mandate. Padding must start no higher than 1 foot off the ground and extend to the top of the structure or 6 feet, whichever is shorter. For programs planning their compliance timeline, our NCAA Rule 2.15 compliance guide covers the full rule text, ASTM foam specifications, cost breakdown, and a step-by-step planning checklist.
