This project is hard to categorize and is outside our normal custom work.

Black Dog Designs, Inc., was contacted by Magic Springs Water and Theme Park in Hot Springs, AR, to rework the enclosure for their basketball carnival game.  The project called not only for a durable material that could be stretched tight and would hold up well to the “abuse” of basketballs and the bright Arkansas sun, but also for something “eye catching” in color.

For the project, we used a vinyl coated polyester tarp material, similar to that used to cover cargo on 18-wheelers and such.  Strong seams holding metal eyelets  were built into the fabric panels stretched between the frame members of the basketball “cage”.

The following pictures show the outcome, which we believe very well met the customer’s requirements.

Vinyl-coated polyester enclosure for the basketball game at Magic Springs Water and Theme Park

Seams and eyelets in the vinyl-coated polyester tarp material allows it to be stretched tight in the frame for the basketball game.

Let us know if you have some special need for fabric coverings and let’s work out how Black Dog Designs can help.
