GYM WALL PADDING GUIDE

Looking to replace or install a brand new gym wall pad at your school? There is a couple of thing to consider. Do you need the gym wall pad panels to be cut to free the space for electrical outlet or other utility? The more cut out you have to perform the higher will be the cost of your wall padding.

Most of basketball court equipment kit needs wall pad to protect the player from hitting hard concrete wall and avoid serious injury and the entire problem that goes with it. Investing in gym wall pad is nothing compare to civil charge and the cost that can be associated with it. You also should make sure that the gym wall padding you installs respect the fire retardant requirement of your states law.

The other factor to consider is the installation of your gym wall pads. Most of the times, if you want to keep low cost and if there is not a lot of cut out to perform, you can install yourself within the manpower you already have in your staff. Wall pad is easy to install as you only have to screw it on the wall, and then apply the optional finishing strip. Just make sure that you use the right screw and tools for the wall material, especially when it is concrete but basically it is a simple process.

If the measurement is right the installation will not cause any problem. Just install from around 6'' above the ground and you can choose 5' or 6' high panel. For basketball we recommend to install 20' of foam padding on end line behind the main courts and 12' behind the cross courts. In that way the protection will be optimized. You can choose different colors for gym wall pad to fit the local team even if you have a good budget you can add your team or school logo on it.
