hey guys, me and my pole vaulting buddy teamed up and bought a set of pits for our school since they wouldn't buy us any. The pits are pretty old and worn out but they are alot better than what we had! Wondering what I should do to cover the pits for weather? Will a large tarp work, or is there a place i can get a real cover?
thanks

The manufacturer of the pit can sell you a replacement cover. Tarps are tough to make work, it's hard to get one big enough, and multiple tarps end up with water going between them and they blow away easily.

I,'ve used a piece of rubber roofing before. You can call around to the local roofing company and ask them for a used piece.
