John Cross, a Newport Beach homeowner, built a small backyard sport court and needed a safety solution for a wall positioned directly along the court’s play area. He reached out to Collins Company for custom padding that would protect players from impact and integrate cleanly with the look of his home. Although this was a material-only project, our team partnered closely with John to ensure the final product aligned with his vision, measurements, and design goals.
This project required precision — the wall had an irregular size and shape, and because the service was material-only, John was responsible for providing all measurements. Ensuring accuracy was essential for both safety and visual consistency. At the same time, the homeowner wanted the padding to match the existing color palette of the court and surrounding structures, making aesthetics just as important as protection.
Our team reviewed detailed photos and measurement notes provided by John, walking him step-by-step through the measurement process via phone, email, and annotated drawings. This collaborative approach ensured every start point, stop point, and mounting location was clearly defined.
With accurate measurements confirmed, Collins Company fabricated custom padding to the exact dimensions of the wall, finished in a burgundy vinyl chosen to match the home’s design. A secure grommet-flap attachment system was incorporated, allowing the homeowner to install the padding cleanly and confidently.
The finished padding provided the exact safety upgrade John needed, creating a protected play area without disrupting the visual aesthetic of the backyard court. The custom color match blended seamlessly with the home’s design, and the precise fabrication allowed for an easy, secure installation. The homeowner received a tailored solution that enhanced both safety and the overall look of the space.\
“Collins Company made the entire process incredibly smooth. They guided me through every measurement and delivered padding that fit perfectly and looked fantastic. The final product was exactly what I hoped for.” — John Cross, Homeowner
