Frequently Asked Questions:

• What is it made out of?

Made from SuperStrength HTP™ (High Tenacity Polymers), Port-a-Field is a strong, durable, weatherproof field lining solution that is still lightweight and compact. SuperStrength HTP™ is woven for added strength and can last for years.

• Are we going to trip over this?

HTP gives the material the elasticity needed to stretch slightly under a strain, enabling users to pull tight, making laser straight lines while minimizing and virtually eliminating any potential tripping issues. This “Give & Go” design allows the material to move and go with the play upon contact, going back into place when released.

• How long has this been available? Who else uses it?

Product began shipping in January 2002 and has since been used all over the World.  An estimated 250,000 people have either used the product or attended an event where the products are being used, including:   North American Sand Soccer Championships, Canadian National Ultimate Championships, Fast Plastic National Wiffleball Championships, World Beach Ultimate Championships in Portugal and many leagues and tournaments.

What about interior lines?  

Interior lines are optional.  A different anchoring system is used on interior lines to make sure they stay out of the way.  Tall grass can pose issuess.  Generally, the benefits of defined lines outweigh any potential problems.  Users instinctively adapt very quickly and intuitively use the system without issue.

What holds it in place?  

We've designed safety anchors with a curved end that is inserted completely into the ground, leaving very little exposed and insuring a safe field of play.  The corners and ends of our fields have a reinforced metal ring that the safety anchors hold in place.

What are wickets?

Wickets, also known as wind wickets, are steel landscaping pins that are used to further hold the lines in place over long spans between the corner anchors.  They are particularly useful for low spots on your playing area or in windy conditions.  The legs of their U-shaped design are inserted on either side of the field material, straddling the material.  This allows the material to slide to and fro through the wicket, contributing to the "Give & Go" design that allows the material to move.

How long does it take to set up?  

Fields take 5-10 minutes to set-up and retrieve, depending on the field type and size.  Small fields, like volleyball courts and small soccer fields only take a few minutes.
 

How long does it take to ship after I order?  

Most Port-a-Fields are now available to be shipped the same day or the next day after an order is recieved.  Our real-time shopping cart will offer you shipping options ranging from Overnight to FedEx Ground service.  None CS Platinum  or Port-a-Field products and accessories ship based on availability from third party vendors.
