Lessons from Outfitting Top Pickleball Courts

Friday, 09 January 2026 by MWC

The rapid rise of pickleball has been incredible to witness. What started as a backyard game has exploded into a full-fledged sport with dedicated facilities, competitive leagues, and passionate players. At Midwest Cover, we’ve had a front-row seat to this evolution, working with facilities across the country on their recent pickleball projects.

This experience has taught us one key thing: as the sport professionalizes, so do the expectations for the courts themselves. Players are looking for a premium experience, and a major part of that is creating a perfect playing environment. This is where high-quality, custom windscreens make all the difference.

It’s More Than Just Blocking the Wind

While the primary function of a windscreen is to minimize wind for a truer game, its role has expanded far beyond that. A professionally outfitted court sends a message of quality and permanence. Based on our recent projects, here’s what transforms a court from good to great:

  • Better Materials and a Better Warranty: A windscreen is an investment in your facility. We believe in using only the most durable, UV-resistant materials, which is why we can offer the industry’s best warranties. Your screen will not only improve gameplay but will also stand up to the elements and look great for years to come.
  • The Power of Print: A blank fence is a missed opportunity. Custom printing turns your court into a statement piece. We’ve helped clubs display their logos with pride, communities showcase their town spirit, and tournaments feature their sponsors. High-quality, direct-to-screen printing makes your branding sharp, vibrant, and an integral part of the court’s aesthetic.
  • A Complete Court Solution: Outfitting a premier facility goes beyond just the perimeter fence. We also specialize in custom safety padding for walls and posts, as well as durable divider netting to keep gameplay safely contained in multi-court setups. By offering a complete solution, we ensure a consistent level of quality and a cohesive look across your entire facility.

Your Vision, Our Expertise

From private clubs to public parks, our recent pickleball projects have shown us that every facility has a unique vision. Our job is to bring that vision to life. Whether you need a simple, clean perimeter or a fully branded, multi-court complex, we have the experience to deliver.

If you’re ready to take your pickleball facility to the next level, let’s talk. Contact the team at Midwest Cover today, and let’s get started on your project.

Custom Bleacher Screen Enclosures

Monday, 05 January 2026 by MWC

BETTER MATERIALS, BETTER VALUE

Midwest Cover fabricates custom bleacher enclosures to any dimensions. Get more bleacher wrap material choices. Printed bleacher scrim is the best value upgrade for your athletic facility – 3 print options for every budget.

Midwest Cover is a manufacturer with over 20 year athletic experience. High quality material choices, custom fabrication, and expert printing mean you get a facility upgrades without limits.

Bleacher Wrap Enclosures

Beyond the Ballgame: 3 Unique Uses Bleacher Enclosures


When we think of bleacher enclosures, our minds usually go straight to the local high school football field or the community baseball diamond. We picture them wrapped in school colors, proudly displaying the home team’s mascot, and shielding fans from the wind. And they do that job perfectly. But what if we thought bigger?

Inspired by the versatility of custom bleacher wraps, we started thinking about other places and events that could benefit from this unique and durable signage. A bleacher enclosure isn’t just a windscreen; it’s a powerful branding tool, a source of revenue, and a way to completely transform a space.

Here are three unique applications for bleacher enclosures that go beyond the typical sports field.

bleacher windscreen enclosures

1. The Ultimate Sponsorship Showcase for Seasonal Events

The Application: Music festivals, outdoor concerts, farmer’s markets, and seasonal fairs.

The Concept: Temporary or seasonal events often rely on a series of scattered, flimsy banners for sponsorship that can easily get lost in the noise. A bleacher enclosure wrap offers a far more impactful solution. Imagine the main stage area or a central seating section completely wrapped in a vibrant, professionally printed windscreen that showcases top-tier sponsors.

Why It Works:

  • High-Impact Branding: Instead of a dozen small banners, sponsors get a massive, can’t-miss canvas for their logos, creating a premium sponsorship tier that commands a higher price.
  • Aesthetic Cohesion: The wrap can be designed to match the event’s theme, turning a functional seating area into a deliberate part of the event’s aesthetic.
  • Durability: Festival weekends can bring unexpected weather. A high-quality, weather-resistant windscreen will look great from the first day to the last, no matter the conditions.

2. Creating Immersive Environments for Pop-Up Attractions

The Application: Pop-up beer gardens, outdoor movie nights, seasonal attractions like pumpkin patches or haunted trails.

The Concept: These temporary attractions thrive on creating a unique atmosphere. A custom bleacher wrap can instantly turn a generic set of bleachers into a themed environment. A pop-up beer garden could feature wraps with Bavarian patterns, while a haunted trail could use them to create spooky, mysterious backdrops for their seating areas.

Why It Works:

  • Instant Theming: It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to establish a theme across a large area. The enclosure defines the space and immediately signals to visitors what the event is all about.
  • Practical & Promotional: Not only does it enhance the theme, but it also provides a perfect surface to print event maps, schedules, or social media handles, adding functional value for attendees.
  • Privacy & Focus: For events like outdoor movies, the enclosure helps block out external distractions and light, focusing the audience’s attention on the screen and making the experience more intimate.

3. Enhancing Corporate and Community Spaces

The Application: Corporate campuses with outdoor amphitheaters, community parks, and event spaces.

The Concept: Many modern corporate campuses and community parks have outdoor seating areas or small amphitheaters for meetings, presentations, and community gatherings. Often, these spaces are plain and utilitarian. A custom wrap can transform them into vibrant, branded spaces.

Why It Works:

  • Reinforce Brand Identity: A corporate wrap can feature company values, history, or branding, reinforcing culture for employees during outdoor meetings or events.
  • Communicate Information: A community park can use the space to display park rules, recognize local donors, or promote upcoming community events in a way that is both professional and durable.
  • A Polished Look: It simply makes the space look more finished and professional. A branded enclosure shows a level of care and investment that elevates the entire area.

A bleacher enclosure is far more than just a piece of fabric to block the wind—it’s a blank canvas with limitless potential. By thinking creatively, event organizers, business owners, and community leaders can use them to generate revenue, build atmosphere, and transform any space into a memorable destination.

Built to Last: The “Midwest” Standard of Finishing

Friday, 02 January 2026 by MWC

We know that a logo printed fence cover is useless if it’s lying in the mud. The number one complaint we hear from site managers about generic fence covers? They rip at the grommets.

That is why we don’t cut corners on the finishing. When you order a fence cover or construction fence cover from us, you are paying for industrial-grade durability.

  • 4-Ply Reinforced Hems: We don’t just fold the edge once. We use 4-ply hems, reinforced with vinyl tape, creating a structural border that can withstand the tension of a tight install.
  • Weather-Proof Grommets: Rust and weak metal are the enemies of longevity. Our grommets are weather-proof and spaced specifically to distribute wind load evenly across the fence line.
  • Ships Finished & Ready: No raw edges, no DIY fixes. Your cover arrives finished, folded, and ready to hang the moment it hits the job site.

A printed fence cover is an investment in your brand. We make sure the hardware holding it up is as strong as your reputation.

Direct Printing: The Budget-Friendly Workhorse

For many projects—whether it’s high school athletic windscreens, temporary construction fencing, or seasonal event barriers—full-color digital printing is overkill. Enter Direct Printing. By applying high-grade ink directly onto the fence screen mesh, we deliver bold, crisp logos and lettering at a cost significantly lower than standard digital prints. This process cuts out unnecessary processing layers, giving you a streamlined, affordable solution that doesn’t look ‘cheap.’ It is the perfect balance of high-impact branding and bottom-line savings.

Stop Wasting Money on Generic Mesh: Turn Your Construction Fence into a Billboard

Tuesday, 23 December 2025 by MWC

Every construction site needs a fence. And almost every municipal code requires that fence to have a “visual barrier” or dust control screen.

Most General Contractors view this as a sunk cost—a line item they have to pay just to stay compliant. They Google “construction fence screen,” buy the cheapest roll of black mesh they can find, and move on.

You are missing a massive opportunity.

Your job site is likely in a high-traffic area. If you are paying for the fence and the screen anyway, why aren’t you using it to sell your business?

The ROI of Printed Fence Graphics

Let’s look at the math. A standard 50-foot roll of plain mesh protects the site. But a Custom Printed Fence Screen creates thousands of impressions daily.

  • For the GC: Display your logo, website, and “Now Hiring” info. We have clients who attribute 15% of their inbound project leads to neighbors seeing their branding on an active job site.
  • For the Developer: Use Architectural Renderings. Show the community what is coming. “Luxury Condos Coming Spring 2026” sells units before the foundation is even poured.
  • For the Partners and Sub-Contractors: Repeating multiple logos are a cost effective way to promote projects, partners, and sub-contractors.

“But Printed Screens are Too Expensive”

This is the biggest myth in the industry. While full-color digital printing used to be cost-prohibitive, new technology has driven the price down significantly. Direct printing is our most popular printing method for construction fence screen, yields expert logos and lettering, and is significantly cheaper than standard digital printing.

When you factor in the durability of our Midwest Cover Construction Grade Mesh—which resists tearing and fading far better than the “economy” rolls you find at big box stores—the cost difference is negligible compared to the marketing value.

3 Ways to Brand Your Site

  1. The “Repeater”: Your logo and company repeated every 50 feet. Simple, effective, and high-recall.
  2. The “Full Wrap”: Complete coverage with high-res graphics. Best for high-end developments and city centers.
  3. The “Hybrid”: Use high-quality Permascreen in solid colors (Midwest Blue, Forest Green) to match your company branding, with a single logo banner at the gate.

Don’t settle for “generic.” Your limit is your imagination, contact us to see what your job site could look like with Midwest Cover printed screens.

The Centerfield Standard: Proper Batter’s Eye Upgrades Your Entire Stadium

Saturday, 20 December 2025 by MWC

When you walk into a professional or collegiate baseball stadium, the first thing that catches your eye is often the “Batter’s Eye”—that pristine, dark solid wall in centerfield.

It is the visual anchor of the stadium. Yet, at many high school and municipal fields, this crucial feature is often treated as an afterthought—sometimes just a faded layer of thin mesh zip-tied to a chain link fence.

If you are looking for a high-impact way to upgrade your facility this season, investing in a professional-grade Batter’s Eye is one of the smartest moves you can make. Here is why it matters for both safety and aesthetics.

From “Sandlot” to “Stadium”

Aesthetics matter. They affect school pride, recruiting, and the overall fan experience.

Standard construction-grade mesh often looks wrinkled and semi-transparent, making a field look worn down even if the turf is new. A custom-fitted Permascreen 80 batter’s eye transforms the outfield. It provides a sharp, uniform look that hides the distractions behind the fence.

It signals to visiting teams and spectators that your facility is maintained to a higher standard. It turns a “fence” into a “wall.”

3. Why Material Choice is the Real Upgrade

When planning a renovation, durability is key. You don’t want to replace your windscreens every two seasons.

  • The “Standard” Problem: Generic open mesh allows too much light to pass through (bleeding out the background) and often tears after a few seasons of high wind.
  • The “Pro” Solution: We recommend Permascreen for most facility upgrades. It is our most durable vinyl-coated polyester. It resists fading from UV rays and withstands the Midwest wind, meaning your investment keeps that “opening day” look for years.

4. The Finishing Touches

If you are upgrading the screen, don’t ignore the hardware. A truly finished stadium look covers the sharp edges.

  • Poly-Cap: Adding yellow or black Poly-Cap to the top of the fence protects outfielders during home-run robberies and adds a clean “boundary line” to the outfield wall.
  • Rail Padding: For dugouts and backstops, matching your padding color to your new centerfield screen creates a cohesive, branded look for the whole park.

Upgrade your outfield this off-season. Contact Midwest Cover today for a quote on a custom-fabricated Permascreen Batter’s Eye tailored to your field’s specific dimensions.
