Here is the equipment you need to get the best results when turf field marking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2>Marking Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, it is important to make sure you have the proper marking materials. The first step in striping a field is to mark where the lines will go. This ensures that you do not make any mistakes or end up with wobbly lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some important marking tools include benchmarks, string lines, and a steel tape measure. Use the steel tape measure to determine where your lines should go. Mark that place along the edge of the field with a benchmark. Once your benchmarks are in place, stretch your string lines across the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The string lines give you a simple guide to follow when painting the lines. This makes it easier to paint straight lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Stencil Kits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stencil kits are used to paint any numbers that you need to add to your field. Don\u2019t try to hand-paint the numbers. Instead, invest in a reusable stencil kit. These will ensure that you end up with professional quality numbers every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to wipe the stencils off after you\u2019re finished with them so that you can reuse them the next time you paint the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>A Great Field Striper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All the techniques and marking tools in the world won\u2019t give you a great-looking field if you\u2019re painting with a spotty field striper.
