Yellow Vinyl Coated Mesh Runway Closure Marker — FAA-Compliant Temporary X for Airport Runways
The Runway Closure Marker Yellow Vinyl Coated Mesh is a heavy-duty, high-visibility temporary X marker engineered specifically for airport runway and taxiway closures. Constructed from two yellow vinyl-coated mesh panels sewn together to form a bold, unmistakable "X," this marker delivers the critical visual signal that keeps pilots, ground crews, and airport operations safe during maintenance, emergencies, and planned closures.
Made in the USA from high-strength vinyl-coated polyester mesh, this runway X meets the rigorous demands of airfield environments — standing up to wind, UV exposure, abrasion, and the elements without fading, tearing, or degrading. Available in 10' x 60' and 5' x 30' sizes, with fully custom dimensions available upon request.
Why Airport Crews Choose This Runway Closure Marker
-
FAA-Standard Yellow Color — High-contrast yellow vinyl coat provides immediate visual recognition from cockpit altitudes and ground level
-
Dual-Panel X Construction — Two mesh panels are precisely sewn together at the intersection to form a symmetrical, regulation-compliant X shape
-
Mesh Design Reduces Wind Load — Open weave allows air to pass through, dramatically reducing uplift and drag so the marker stays flat and in place during windy conditions
-
Rust-Proof Stainless Steel Grommets — Grommets in all corners plus every 24" around the entire perimeter for secure anchoring and rapid deployment
-
2" Reinforced Webbing Border — Heavy-duty perimeter webbing resists tearing at tie-down and grommet points under repeated use and high-wind stress
-
Multi-Hazard Resistance — UV resistant, abrasion resistant, acid resistant, mildew resistant, tear resistant, oil resistant, and grease resistant for long service life
-
Finished Sizes — No Trimming Required — All sizes are finished sizes, ready to deploy straight from the bag
-
Non-Fire Retardant — Standard configuration; contact us if FR certification is required for your airport
