Default Cover size

Most players prefer a side line of atleast an inch and there is a also a large group that wants even more sideline room.My preferance is 1 inch, it gives you room for your chains,down marker and players don't bounce off the wall and back into play as much.Our covers have a standard 1 inch border that can be trimmed down if need be but it's much better to just order the cover with whatever sideline measurements you want.The big field is the thing now and they are great to play on, our league has two big boards and we love them but you must put some thought into what you want your game to look and play like.Selecting the size field,surface material,frame wood,paint or stain color,motor and motor positioning should all be secondary to your field layout,do that first,think it over and then make your own or have someone else do a computer mock up of what your field will look like.Cover options are permanent glossy vinyl,removable matt Fathead or glossy removable magnetic,once again think over carefully what you want.
One thing for sure, field covers add the realistic look anyone into the game
just has to love and the best part is "we are only limited by our imagination".
