Maintenance Tips
Clean the surface periodically with mild soap and water; avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the urethane.
Check the mounting screws quarterly to ensure the padding remains tight and flush against the backboard.
Inspect for any signs of wear or separation at the edges and replace the pad if the core foam begins to break down.
If installed outdoors, consider shading or covering the backboard during extreme weather to extend pad life.
Match the pad color to other court equipment for aesthetics and replace the padding as part of your annual court-maintenance schedule.
