This system constitutes a specialized covering designed to safeguard playing surfaces, most often those composed of natural turf. Its construction involves inflated, cylindrical components that create a protective barrier. An example of its application is on sports fields to prevent damage from inclement weather such as heavy rain, frost, or excessive sunlight.
Such protective measures offer several advantages. They mitigate the risk of game postponements or cancellations due to adverse conditions, thereby maintaining scheduled events. Furthermore, the coverings contribute to the longevity and health of the surface by shielding it from potentially harmful environmental factors. Historically, simpler covering methods were employed, but advancements in materials and engineering have led to the development of more effective and adaptable solutions.
