I purchased these pole pads for our 3-1/2" round basement support columns to protect children from running into the columns. These are designed to only cover 3/4 of the pole, are not wide enough to go completely around. The Velcro securing mechanism would not work if it was able to be wrapped completely around the pole as the strips would no longer overlap and be able to attach to each other.I had available pieces of high density foam that I was able to cut into a 3" wide x 1" thick piece as long as the protector. This filled in the last side perfectly and the attachment strips worked as designed. This was the only reasonably priced option that seemed to be available.

This was the best option for the price. We wanted to use the basement as a playroom for our little ones and this has worked well as a bumper for the support beam.

Fit 3.5 in basketball hoop perfectly. Straps were plenty long enough and had excess that I trimmed down.

I don't like the cheap straps that hold it to the pole. It keeps sliding to the ground and exposes the part of the post where your head will likely hit. It is as tight as it goes and I am waiting for the pad to wear out and start tearing because i have the Velcro straps so tight. Our pole is 4 inches so should be no problem. It it nicer than looking at the pole but should be half the price.

Excellent pole pad we are using to cover basement poles so kids and toddlers don't hurt themselves running around. This pad is very thick and at first I thought was way to big to wrap around it if you pull the Velcro straps tight they fit all the way around the pad perfectly for a secure fit. These are so cushioned you can hit it and it still feels soft. It's covers nearly all the way around wrapped this way but even the part that is exposed is set deep inside so quite protected that side too. Nice and long and actually looks great. I imagine it would be great for a basketballl hoop too. It's a little pricey but excellent quality. Plan to buy more.

Does the job to pad, seems durable, looks sharp. Hopefully it holds up for a long time, but a little worried about velcro tearing over time.

Well built, good padding for intended purpose. Long Velcro straps to secure the pad around the post. Holding well so far. Would recommend. Looks good. Good value for price.

Purchased this pole pad to go with my new Spalding 60" in ground basketball system and its a great add on. The padding is nice and thick and will provide good protection. The Velcro straps hold the pad in place tightly and the quality is excellent.

Is of good quality. Velcro attachments have stayed in place after heavy rain. Nice dark color blends in with pole . Small design on front does not take away from the decor of home. Nice and long so covers most of the pole.
