Product Overview
Douglas Bakko Backboard, Economy Flat Series: Durable, Low-Maintenance Tennis Practice
For park directors and homeowners seeking a robust yet economical tennis backboard, the Douglas Bakko Economy Flat Series offers a superior alternative to traditional wood constructions. Standing 8 feet high, this series is engineered with a durable fiberglass shell, encased in a thick gel coat and finished with solar- and impact-resistant polyurethane paint, ensuring a long-lasting, weather-resistant hitting surface. Its 1.75-inch thick core features a specialized sound-deadening matrix, significantly reducing noise compared to typical wood backboards, making practice more enjoyable for everyone. The design cleverly omits a metal frame to optimize cost without compromising structural integrity.
Unlike wood, the Bakko backboard resists fading, warping, peeling, and rot, providing years of maintenance-free performance that outperforms traditional DIY options. It mounts securely to three horizontal rows of provided pressure-treated 2x4s, creating a solid foundation. While basic carpentry skills are required for installation, and customers are responsible for drilling holes through the 4-foot wide panels at specified heights, a complete assembly kit with green-faced bolts is included for straightforward side-by-side construction. Available in 12, 16, and 20-foot wide configurations, with the 20-foot option being a popular choice for comprehensive practice setups, this backboard is backed by a 10-year pro-rated structural warranty and a 1-year paint warranty, ensuring peace of mind.
