BTW, when the top of the fence is painted or covered with material of a different color, it is usually (if not always) as a visual aid, not a demarcation of DBT.

The most important thing is to make sure at pre-game.We have several high schools and one College team in my area which uses a yellow 6" diameter plastic tubing across the top of the HR fence,that if the ball strikes the tubing it is a HR.Just make sure before the game begins.
