Tru Mark has been providing
custom sports field stencils for the past 7 years. During this time we've been accumulating images from customers that have been gracious enough to take
pictures of their custom sports field stencil painting handy work.
These custom sports field stencils are manufactured by hand using images provided by customer on 8.5 or 10 mil agricultural grade sheet plastic that vary in width depending on the roll (10', 20, and 28') while minimizing waste. This grade of sheet plastic while flexible is very tough and can handle spiking the corners (folded at least once) without ripping the material.
This same grade of sheet plastic is used for the
Large Block Letter Stencils (up to 10' wide x 16' tall, letter "I" is narrow). These stencils can be purchase in groups of 2-5 and 6 or more for savings.
We always recommend holding the stencils in place by using sections of 2 x 4 boards, PVC pipe, or
multi-purpose sandbags (10# and 20#). When painting the stencil we recommend outlining the particular area(s) with color paint needed, removing the stencil from the turf and then finish filling in the color(s). This will reduce the heat stress to the turf by minimizing the time the stencil is covering the natural grass turf.
