Bakko Professional Flat Tennis Backboard (Multiple Sizes Available)

SKU: BP

The Bakko Professional Flat Series is Bakko’s flagship tennis backboard, engineered for facilities and court owners who prioritize quiet play, exceptional durability, and a clean professional appearance. This original flat-series design combines a heavy reinforced frame, advanced sound reduction, and a concealed rear mounting system.

Each 2.5-inch-thick panel contains a metal interior frame divided into 20 sub-compartments. Every compartment is filled with sound-deadening material to reduce impact noise and support a consistent ball rebound. The panels are encased in thick fiberglass and UV-protective gel coat, then finished with solar-, impact-, and temperature-resistant Imron® polyurethane paint.

Installation and Placement

The Professional Flat Series uses a concealed rear mounting system. Wheels attached to the backs of the panels roll into galvanized steel channels mounted horizontally to the fence posts. This design keeps the hitting surface free of visible holes and hardware while helping installers align the heavy panels accurately.

A 12-foot-wide unit is designed to attach to two tennis-court fence posts, which are commonly spaced about 10 feet apart. The 16- and 20-foot models generally require three posts for secure support. Because each panel weighs approximately 150 pounds, installation requires appropriate lifting equipment, adequate personnel, and careful planning.

When selecting a location, consider sun exposure, player sight lines, court clearance, and the strength and spacing of the supporting posts. In regions with intense sun, avoid a west-facing installation when practical to reduce direct glare and prolonged afternoon exposure.

Important: Do It Tennis does not install or set up the backboard. Arrange qualified help or a professional installer to handle the panels and complete the structural installation safely.

Freight Delivery

This oversized product ships by common-carrier freight. Residential delivery is curbside only, and the freight carrier is not responsible for unloading the backboard or moving it to a backyard, court, or installation site. Commercial delivery is generally limited to a loading dock or curbside.

Before delivery, arrange suitable unloading equipment and enough people to handle the 150-pound panels safely. Inspect the shipment before signing the bill of lading, and record any visible damage on the delivery paperwork. Freight damage is handled as a carrier claim rather than a manufacturer warranty claim.

Manufacturer Warranty

Bakko provides a ten-year pro-rated limited warranty on the structural integrity of the backboard panels, including qualifying issues such as major warping, peeling, delamination, separation, or panel decomposition. The exterior Imron® paint is covered for one year against qualifying cracking, peeling, fading, and oxidation.

The warranty applies to the panels only. It does not cover channels, tape, nuts, bolts, or other hardware; vandalism; acts of God; extreme weather; improper installation; non-tennis use; cuts or gouges that expose the interior; damage from tree sap or animals; or marks and scratches unrelated to normal tennis-ball use. Climate, salt air, direct sun, and panel orientation may affect the rate of paint oxidation and color fading.

The warranty begins when the receiver signs the bill of lading. Follow Bakko’s installation instructions and document freight damage at delivery to protect your rights under the applicable carrier claim and manufacturer warranty processes.

The Bakko Professional Flat Tennis Backboard delivers a smooth, stable practice surface with superior sound reduction and concealed mounting hardware.
