The Bakko Backboard Slimline Flat Series is an 8-foot-high fiberglass backboard designed for schools, universities, and public parks needing a durable, professional-looking rebound wall. Its 1.75-inch-thick panels are built around an interior compartmentalized metal frame and reinforced with heavy-duty galvanized steel channels for horizontal support, keeping the structure true over time.

Panels are encased in thick fiberglass and gel coat, then finished with a solar- and impact-resistant polyurethane (Imron) paint for weather durability and a clean modern look. Factory-predrilled holes and a full assembly kit make installation quick, with panels secured to the steel channels via green-faced bolts and typically suspended 12 inches off the ground.

The Slimline series is offered in multiples of 4-foot-wide panels, with 8'x12', 8'x16', and 8'x20' configurations available; 12-foot units mount to two tennis court fence posts (commonly spaced 10 feet apart), while 16- and 20-foot units use additional panels and typically require three fence posts for secure mounting. This series serves as a middle-ground option, offering more sound-deadening acoustics than the Economy line while remaining more resonant than the Professional series.
