Stop Replacing Your Outfield Windscreen: The 3x Strength Difference.

Tuesday, 13 January 2026 by MWC

The most expensive windscreen is the one you have to buy twice. If you are tired of replacing torn mesh after every heavy storm or watching grommets rip out after one season, it is time to look at the numbers.

  • Unmatched Tensile Strength: Our Vinyl Coated Polyester boasts a Warp Tensile strength of 375 lbs and a Fill strength of 330 lbs. Compare that to the standard mesh you’ve been using.
  • Reinforced to Last: Finished Permascreen Plus panels ship with 4-ply reinforced hems and sturdy vinyl tape on all sides, with #2 brass grommets placed at 18″ intervals for maximum hold.
  • Weather Resistance: With a weight of 11.0 oz per square yard and superior tear resistance (100 lbs Warp), this screen is built to withstand the toughest weather conditions.

The Bottom Line: Stop wasting your maintenance budget on replacements. Install Permascreen Plus once, and trust it for years.

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.

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.

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.

Make Your Mark: Why Direct Printed Fence Screens are Your Smartest Branding Choice

Wednesday, 10 December 2025 by MWC

First impressions matter. Your fence screen isn’t just a barrier; it’s a massive canvas for your brand. While many options exist, one stands out for its perfect blend of impact, durability, and unbeatable value: Direct Printed Fence Screen from Midwest Cover.

You might think achieving a professional, eye-catching look means breaking the bank, but we’re here to tell you that’s not the case with direct printing.

The Power of Simplicity: Stand Out Without Overspending

What if we told you that even a simple logo can make a powerful statement? With direct printing, your brand isn’t just an afterthought; it’s an integral part of the fence screen itself.

Imagine your company’s crisp white logo boldly standing out against a rich royal blue, a vibrant red, or a classic dark green screen. This high-contrast approach ensures your message is clear, visible, and professional, even from a distance. The beauty of direct printing lies in its ability to take advantage of the screen’s base color, making your logo pop without requiring complex, multi-color digital prints.

Direct Printing vs. Digital Printing: The Cost-Effective Edge

Here’s the key takeaway: Direct printing is significantly cheaper than standard digital-printed fence screens.

While digital printing offers endless color possibilities, it comes at a premium. Direct printing, with its focused color palette, allows us to apply your design directly to the windscreen material with incredible efficiency. This means you get stunning, high-impact branding at a fraction of the cost, freeing up your budget for other essential project needs.

Durable, Professional, and Seamless Integration

Forget about prints that look like stickers or peel away. Our direct printing process means your logo is truly on the windscreen. This isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about durability. Your branding becomes part of a robust, weather-resistant fence screen designed to withstand the elements, giving you a sharp, long-lasting presence on site.

The result is a clean, integrated look that screams professionalism.

Why Choose Midwest Cover for Your Direct Printing Needs?

When you choose Midwest Cover, you’re not just getting a product; you’re gaining a partner:

  • Manufacturer Direct Advantage: Buying directly from us means you cut out the middleman, ensuring the best possible pricing and direct access to our expert team.
  • More Choices: Access a wide array of fence screen colors, perfect for creating that high-contrast, impactful look with your direct printed logo.

  • Expert Design Assistance (If Needed): Have an idea but not sure how to translate it to direct print? Our design team is ready to help you optimize your logo and messaging for maximum impact and affordability.
  • Proofs Before Every Job: We believe in transparency and your complete satisfaction. You’ll receive proofs to review and approve before we start printing, ensuring your vision is perfectly realized.
