Basketball Court Safety Wall Padding

Like professional gymnasiums, adding padding to a personal basketball court gives safety, style and longevity to that space. Wall pads are customizable and add a running theme to any basketball court.

  1. Materials

    • Top-quality basketball court safety pads have a foam interior with a vinyl covering. The vinyl is tested against tearing and damaging. According to CoverMaster.com, "Foam cores are made of cross-linked polyethylene and polyurethane and they are available in various thicknesses and densities." Depending on how much padding is required, or how soft the padding needs to be, this can be customized accordingly.

    Benefits

    • Wall padding on a basketball court can save players from running into hard surfaces while being active. Wall padding also adds color and a running theme to any basketball court. With wall pads, large crowds in the basketball court will not sound so loud, as wall pads absorb noise rather than reflect it.

    Considerations

    • Installation costs a lot--a few pads can cost up to $500. Safety must be weighed against the cost. Wall pads can also be made at home, using a vinyl covering, foam pads, adhesive and wall mounts. This is an affordable way to add safety to any basketball court.
