⚡ At a Glance
- • Impact Protection: Shock-absorbing pad reduces force from accidental collisions with poles and pipes.
- • Best for: Playgrounds, schools, gyms, garages and homeowners needing added safety around poles
- • Not ideal for: Very narrow, highly irregular or bespoke poles that cannot accept a wrap-around pad
Wrap-around safety padding with a shock-absorbing construction for collision protection. Designed for indoor and outdoor use to protect people and reduce friction-related wear on poles.
Reduced Injury Risk - thanks to shock-absorbing pad
Shock-absorbing sponge material compresses on impact to dissipate energy and lower peak forces. Wrap-around coverage spreads the load over a larger surface area on contact.
Children and athletes experience less severe impacts when colliding with poles, helping to prevent knocks and bruises during play and training.
Durable, all-weather construction - with 8mm thick waterproof, tear-resistant sponge
An 8mm thick sponge combines cushioning with a waterproof, tear-resistant finish that stands up to moisture and abrasion. Material choice supports repeated use in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Padding retains shape and protective ability through regular use and exposure, so safety performance lasts across seasons.
Quick fit and low maintenance - with self-adhesive backing and wipe-clean surface
Self-adhesive backing adheres to a clean pole surface to secure the wrap without tools, while the outer surface cleans easily with a damp cloth. No specialised cleaning products are required.
Installation is fast and upkeep is straightforward, making it practical for busy venues and home use where time and effort are limited.
