A dry line marker enables you to professionally line baseball or softball fields of all sizes. Or, you can use a dry line marker for track lines, parking lots and much more. Each marker is constructed from steel, and as such, will continue to perform for an extended period of time. Additionally, a marker's frame typically includes a powder-coated finish. Markers may allow you to produce 2” or 4” wide lines. Additionally, they are available in different sizes and colors. Various dry line markers are sold with a manufacturer's warranty. Some markers are even weather-resistant and can withstand rain, sleet, snow, and other harsh weather conditions.
