Painting the Top Rail of the Home Run Fences
.
NOTE - there are 14 photos on this page and it may take a few extra seconds to
completely download
if you have a broadband internet connection, they will not take
too long to display ... just be a little patient !!

Diamond
One
Leon Nelson, the Grounds Controller,
suggested this idea and Kahlia Pepper got the 'Paint Brush'
The chosen colour is Bright Yellow
and Kahlia started from the rightfield foul pole
.
She went up and down these steps
a thousand times !!
.
.
... as she slowly worked across
the field ...
... and the '360' sign is at centrefield
... she is nearly half way !!
.
The job is FINISHED !!
These photos do not show the result
very clearly
Even though the top rail is only
50mm/60mm in diameter,
the 'yellow line' stands out and is easily visible from the spectator
areas
It doesn't play any part in the
game because if the ball goes over the fence it's gone
no matter what the colour of the top rail is ... BUT ... it looks
great and was a top idea !!

After finishing, Kahlia moved over
to do the same thing on this field
A bit easier here ... the fence
is not as high and she didn't have to use the steps
Just dip the brush in the paint, then hold it on the rail and
start walking !!
Another Great
Result !!

...
and something for the Future
These two secondhand light poles
were dropped off during today's Working Bee
and they are going to be used as the Foul Ball Poles on the home
run fence of Diamond Two
