Built to Last: The “Midwest” Standard of Finishing

Thursday, 20 November 2025 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.

Bold Logos, Affordable Job Site Branding

Friday, 14 November 2025 by MWC

Standing out doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Direct printing on our vibrant colored fence screen material can transform a simple logo into a powerful statement – all while being incredibly cost-effective. Choose from 8 colors on our most popular construction fence screen material, Construction 85 –

Construction 85 Fence Cover Spec Sheet

Forget the notion that impactful branding requires a full spectrum of digital colors. Direct printing harnesses the inherent appeal of a clean, well-designed logo contrasted against a rich, solid background color. This method doesn’t just save you money; it creates a distinctive aesthetic that truly commands attention.

The Art of Contrast: Your Logo, Our Colors

Imagine your company’s crisp white logo prominently displayed on a deep Navy screen, or a sleek black emblem against a bright Tan backdrop. That’s the magic of direct printing. By expertly applying your design in a single, contrasting color onto our premium Construction 85 fence screen, your brand’s message becomes instantly clear and unforgettable.

We offer 8 fantastic color choices for our Construction 85 fence screen, providing the perfect canvas for your brand:

  • Classic & Professional: GREEN, BROWN, BLACK, NAVY
  • Vibrant & Eye-Catching: TAN, RED, GRAY, ROYAL BLUE

Each color choice offers a unique mood and visibility, allowing you to select the perfect match to complement your brand identity or specific project needs.

Why Direct Printing is the Smart Choice for Your Site

  1. Cost-Effectiveness: This is the cornerstone of direct printing’s appeal. Significantly cheaper than standard digital printing, direct printing is a great way to affordably market your business, project and partners.
  2. Unmistakable Visibility: Your brand stands out clearly against the chosen screen color, ensuring your message is seen by everyone passing your site.
  3. Durable & Integrated Finish: Directly printing on fence cover means a smooth, integrated finish that looks exceptional and lasts longer in tough outdoor conditions.
  4. Professional Aesthetic: The clean lines and sharp contrast of direct printing project an image of professionalism and quality, enhancing your site’s appearance and reinforcing your brand’s reliability.

The Contractor’s Choice: Weather-Tough Screen, Custom Printing, Ship Rolls Today

Monday, 10 November 2025 by MWC

For any job site manager, the fence line is a daily reality. It needs to provide security, privacy, and dust control. But it also represents two major questions:

  1. “Will this screen hold up to a real storm, or will I be replacing it in six months?”
  2. “Can I afford to put my company’s logo on it, or is that just an expensive hassle?”

At Midwest Cover, we’ve built our business around solving these exact problems. You shouldn’t have to choose between durability and affordability. You also shouldn’t have to wait weeks to get what you need.

We offer a solution that delivers all three: weather-tough materials, affordable branding, and same-day shipping on our most popular options.

Part 1: Get the Right Screen for Your Job (Finished vs. Unfinished)

A screen that fails in high wind or degrades under the sun makes your site look unprofessional and costs you money. Our weather-tough materials are designed to resist UV rays, tears, and frays, but the real key is flexibility. We offer two distinct options so you only pay for what you need.

  • Finished Screens (Ready-to-Install) This is your “open the box and hang it” solution. Every panel comes cut to your specified length and is finished with heavy-duty reinforced hems and durable grommets on all sides. This is the perfect choice for standard chain-link fence perimeters, event barriers, and any job where you want a fast, easy, and professional installation right out of the box.
  • Unfinished Rolls (Bulk & Cut-to-Fit) For maximum value and flexibility, our unfinished rolls are the contractor’s choice. You get a continuous-length roll (e.g., 150 feet) of our same weather-tough material with no hems or grommets. This allows your team to cut custom lengths on-site, cover non-standard areas, wrap equipment, or finish the material yourselves. It’s the most cost-effective way to cover large perimeters.

Part 2: Your Fence is a Billboard. Use It.

A blank fence is a massive, missed marketing opportunity. You have hundreds, even thousands, of feet of prime advertising space seen by every potential client who passes by.

The old way to brand a fence—hanging heavy, expensive vinyl banners—was a problem. They act like giant sails, block 100% of the wind, and often end up tearing down the fence (or the banner itself).

The Midwest Cover Solution: Affordable Direct Print We’ve perfected a state-of-the-art direct print process that changes the game:

  • It’s Not a Banner: We print your logo, lettering, and graphics directly onto the porous, weather-tough windscreen material itself.
  • It’s Durable: The ink bonds with the material. It won’t peel, flake, or crack. It’s just as UV-stable and weather-resistant as the screen.
  • It’s Incredibly Affordable: Because the process is integrated, you’re not paying for two separate products (a screen and a banner). It is the most cost-effective way to brand your entire job site.
  • It’s Safe: Because the screen remains porous, wind passes through, protecting your fence and your investment.

Part 3: Get What You Need, Today.

Your project can’t wait. We understand that.

You don’t have weeks to wait for your material to show up. That’s why we stock our most popular construction screen colors—like forest green, black, and tan—for immediate, same-day shipping.

When you need privacy, dust control, or a branded perimeter now, we’re ready to ship.

Get Your Site Covered This Week

Stop replacing torn, blank screens. Stop letting your competitors get all the brand recognition.

It’s time to invest in a solution that protects your site (with weather-tough materials in the finish you need) and promotes your business (with affordable direct print).


Ready to Upgrade Your Job Site?

Let our experts provide a fast, no-obligation quote. We’ll help you match the right material to your project and show you just how affordable our direct-print logos can be.

Softball & Baseball Windscreen: Get It Right

Friday, 31 October 2025 by MWC

Choosing the right windscreen for your baseball stadium is a decision that impacts not only the look of your field but also the experience of your players and fans. A quality windscreen can provide privacy, reduce wind interference, and offer a professional, branded appearance. Drawing inspiration from the offerings of leading industry supplier Midwest Cover, here are key factors to consider when making your purchase.

Material and Durability: Built to Last

The first thing to consider is the material of the windscreen and its durability. You’ll want a material that can withstand the elements, from harsh sun to strong winds and rain. Look for windscreens made from rugged, vinyl-coated polyester, like the Permascreen 80 offered by Midwest Cover. A heavier fabric, around 9 oz. per square yard, will offer superior strength and longevity compared to standard options. Also, check for features like reinforced hems and grommets, which ensure a secure and lasting installation.

Opacity and Privacy: Finding the Right Balance

Opacity is a crucial factor, as it determines the level of privacy and wind blockage. An 80% opacity is a popular choice for baseball fields, offering a good balance between screening and visibility. This level of opacity is ideal for outfield fences, dugouts, and backstops, providing a visual barrier without completely isolating the field.

Customization and Branding: A Professional Look

Windscreens offer a fantastic opportunity to brand your stadium and promote your team, sponsors, and community. Look for a supplier that offers a variety of printing options to fit your budget and design needs. Options can range from affordable direct printing of logos and lettering to full-color digital graphics that can turn your fence into a stunning visual display. A good supplier will offer a warranty on their printing, such as a “No Fade” guarantee, to ensure your investment looks great for years to come.

Color and Aesthetics: Enhancing Your Stadium’s Appeal

The color of your windscreen can dramatically impact the overall look of your stadium. Choose a supplier that offers a wide range of vibrant, UV-resistant colors. This will not only allow you to match your team’s colors but also ensure that the windscreen’s color remains bright and doesn’t fade over time.

Installation and Expertise: Getting it Done Right

Even the best windscreen won’t perform well if it’s not installed correctly. A quality windscreen should ship finished and ready for easy installation, with features like four-ply sewn hems and brass grommets at regular intervals. It’s also beneficial to work with a company that has extensive experience in the field, as they can offer valuable advice and ensure you get the right product for your specific needs, no matter how unique your stadium’s dimensions.

By considering these factors—material, opacity, customization, color, and installation—you can choose a baseball windscreen that will not only enhance the appearance and functionality of your stadium but also provide a lasting return on your investment.

More Than Just a Cover: Protecting and Enhancing Your Venue

Sunday, 26 October 2025 by MWC

From the perimeter fence to the seats in the stands, your facility’s surfaces are valuable assets. They contribute to your organization’s function, safety, and overall image. Protecting these assets while enhancing their appearance is crucial. At Midwest Cover, we understand the importance of quality protective covers. Our new custom cover solutions page is dedicated to providing you with the best options for preserving your investments and elevating your facility’s look.

Boost Privacy and Branding with Fence Covers

Your perimeter is the first thing visitors see. Fence Covers, also known as fence screens, are a versatile and impactful solution that can instantly transform any chain-link fence. They are essential for:

  • Privacy & Security: Create a visual barrier to control sightlines, enhance privacy for events, and secure construction sites or restricted areas.
  • Aesthetics & Branding: Conceal distracting backgrounds and display high-quality printed graphics, logos, and sponsor advertisements to create a professional and branded environment.
  • Wind & Dust Control: Provide a functional windscreen that helps reduce wind and block blowing dust and debris, improving conditions for players and spectators alike.

Custom fence screens are an affordable way to add privacy, branding, and function to any athletic or commercial property.

Maximize the Life of Your Gymnasium with Gymnasium Floor Covers

A polished gymnasium floor is a centerpiece of your facility, but it’s also susceptible to damage from non-athletic events, foot traffic, and equipment. Gymnasium Floor Covers are essential for:

  • Asset Protection: Shield your hardwood floors from scratches, scuffs, and spills during events like concerts, dances, and graduations.
  • Versatility: Transform your gym into a multi-purpose venue without worrying about damaging the floor.
  • Safety: Provide a slip-resistant surface for non-athletic events, ensuring the safety of your guests.

By investing in a quality gym floor cover, you extend the life of your floor and reduce maintenance costs, allowing you to get the most out of your facility.

Keep Your Field Game-Ready with Baseball Field Tarps

Weather can be unpredictable, but your field’s condition doesn’t have to be. Baseball Field Tarps are a groundskeeper’s best friend, offering:

  • Weather Protection: Shield your infield and mound from rain, snow, and sun, preventing erosion and keeping the playing surface in optimal condition.
  • Time Savings: Reduce the time and effort needed for field maintenance and preparation before and after games.
  • Playability: Ensure your field is always ready for play, minimizing rain delays and cancellations.

A durable baseball field tarp is a wise investment that pays for itself by protecting your field and ensuring the game goes on.

Enhance Your Venue with Stadium & Bleacher Seat Covers

Empty seats can be an eyesore and are exposed to the elements. Stadium & Bleacher Seat Covers offer a simple and effective solution to:

  • Protect Your Seating: Shield your seats from sun, rain, and snow, preventing fading, cracking, and other damage.
  • Enhance Aesthetics: Cover unused sections to create a fuller, more professional look for your stadium or arena.
  • Generate Revenue: Display sponsor logos or team branding on the covers, turning empty seats into a new revenue stream.

Custom seat covers not only protect your investment but also enhance the overall look and feel of your venue.

More Than Just Safety: 3 Ways Custom Padding Transforms Your Athletic Facility

Monday, 13 October 2025 by MWC

Player safety is the number one priority for any athletic program. But what if the equipment that keeps your athletes safe could also boost school spirit, impress visiting teams, and stand up to the toughest conditions, year after year?

At Midwest Cover, we see it happen all the time. While our custom athletic safety padding is engineered to provide superior protection, its true value lies in its ability to completely transform a facility. Based on over 2 decades manufacturing safety padding for teams, schools and universities, we’ve learned that the right padding does more than just protect—it projects pride.

Here are the three key ways custom padding elevates your program.

1. Uncompromising Safety Meets Unbeatable Durability

First and foremost, padding has to protect. From outfield walls to gymnasiums and post-impact zones, reliable padding is non-negotiable. Our products are crafted from ultra-durable, thick foam cores and wrapped in a heavy-duty, 18oz vinyl that’s treated for UV and mildew resistance.

But we also know that athletic environments are harsh. That’s why we focus on longevity. With features like double-stitched seams and industrial-grade grommets, our padding is built to withstand scorching sun, driving rain, and years of high-impact use. It’s not just a purchase; it’s a long-term investment in your facility.

2. Your Brand is Your Biggest Asset

This is where a facility goes from functional to unforgettable. Our data shows that after safety, the most important feature for our customers is customization. Your brand is your identity, and our digital printing process allows you to display it brilliantly.

Whether it’s a bold team logo on an outfield wall, sponsor advertisements in the gymnasium, or a sharp mascot on a post pad, custom graphics turn a simple safety feature into a powerful branding tool. It tells every player, parent, and visitor that you take pride in your program. With precise color matching and vibrant graphics, your facility will look cohesive, professional, and ready for game day.

3. A Perfect Fit for Any Space

No two facilities are the same. That’s why “one-size-fits-all” doesn’t work for safety padding. From curved outfield fences to I-beams, railings, and unique corners, every surface needs a custom-fit solution to be truly safe.

We specialize in creating padding that is precisely measured and fabricated for your specific needs. By working with your exact dimensions, we ensure a seamless, professional installation with no dangerous gaps or awkward fits. This meticulous attention to detail not only improves safety but also gives your entire facility a clean, polished look.


Ready to upgrade your facility?

Don’t settle for generic, standard dimensions padding. Invest in a solution that protects your players, promotes your brand, and is built to last. Contact our team today for a free quote.

Repeating Logos, Better Construction Site Marketing

Thursday, 02 October 2025 by MWC

Fence Screen From A Construction Manager’s Perspective:

“Every new project starts with the same basics: permits, site prep, and fencing. For years, that last part was just a necessary line item—rolls of standard green mesh to keep the site secure and the dust down. But on our latest project, a high-profile commercial build in the heart of downtown, we decided that “standard” wasn’t going to cut it.

This job site is in a high-traffic area, and the look of our site directly reflects on our company and the client. A plain, drab fence just screams “messy construction zone.” We wanted to project professionalism and competence from day one.

Plus a project of this scale isn’t a solo effort. We’re working with a team of top-tier architects, engineers, and subcontractors. We wanted to publicly acknowledge their contribution and present a unified, collaborative front.

The solution was surprisingly simple: custom-printed fence screens featuring repeating logos.

Instead of a monotonous green wall, we wrapped our entire perimeter with a durable, high-quality windscreen. We worked with a supplier to have it custom-fabricated to our exact dimensions, covering everything from the main fence line to the gates perfectly. The fit and finish were impeccable.

We dedicated the top half of the screen to our company’s logo, repeating every twenty feet. It instantly branded the site as ours. Below it, we printed the logos of our primary partners—the architectural firm, the lead engineering group, and our key subcontractors.

The effect was immediate.

  1. Instant Professionalism: The site looked clean, organized, and intentional. It sent a message to the client and the public that we pay attention to every detail. We weren’t just building a structure; we were managing a professional operation.
  2. Unbeatable Partner Goodwill: Our partners were thrilled. Seeing their logo proudly displayed on the job site fence gave them a sense of ownership and public credit for their hard work. It cost us very little, but it paid huge dividends in strengthening our professional relationships. It visually reinforces that we’re all one team working toward a shared goal.
  3. 24/7 Marketing: That fence is now our most effective billboard. Thousands of people pass by every day, and instead of wondering what’s being built, they see our name and the names of our trusted partners. It generates buzz, reinforces our brand, and advertises our collective expertise without us spending a dime on traditional ad space. The direct-to-screen printing was surprisingly affordable and has proven incredibly durable against sun and grit.

You’re already putting up a fence. Why not make it work for you? It manages dust and debris while simultaneously managing your reputation, promoting your brand, and celebrating the team that makes it all happen. It’s a small change in process that makes a world of difference.”
