The Bakko Backboard, Economy Flat Series is a fiberglass tennis practice backboard built for budget-conscious homeowners and park directors who want a professional-looking hitting surface without the maintenance demands of wood. Each panel stands 8 feet high with a 1.75-inch thick profile that houses a sound-deadening matrix interior, engineered without a metal frame to keep costs down while still reducing noise compared to typical wood backboards.

Construction relies on a fiberglass and gel-coat shell finished with solar- and impact-resistant polyurethane paint, so the panels won't fade, warp, peel, or rot like traditional wood alternatives. Installation is straightforward but requires basic carpentry skills: panels mount to three horizontal rows of provided pressure-treated 2x4 framework, secured with included green-faced bolts, and the customer is responsible for drilling mounting holes following the supplied instructions. Each backboard ships with a complete assembly kit for secure, unitized side-by-side construction.

Available in 12, 16, and 20-foot wide configurations made from multiples of 4-foot wide panels, the backboard can attach to two or three tennis court fence posts depending on width. The 20-foot wide configuration is noted as the most popular size choice. The structure carries a 10-year pro-rated warranty, while the Imron paint finish is covered for 1 year.
