Proper maintenance of your windscreen will keep it looking sharp for years to come.
Here are a few critical questions and points to keep in mind when maintaining your windscreen.
- Who will put it up and take it down?
- Where does your windscreen maintenance fall within your maintenance schedule?
- Is it necessary to take down and store your windscreens during certain times of the year?
After determining how windscreen maintenance fits into your organization’s priorities and whether seasonal removal and storage are practical options to reduce wear and tear, upkeep becomes a simple process that only requires a few easy steps.
In regions with freezing temperatures, high winds, or snow, we recommend removing windscreens during the winter and reinstalling them in the spring. If removal isn’t possible, they should be rolled up or down and securely fastened. Leaving windscreens exposed to harsh winter weather can lead to damage that is not covered under warranty.
- Always replace windscreen ties that have broken.
- Hose down your windscreen anytime you clean your court surface to prevent the excessive accumulation of weather-related pollutants. Use a garden hose and avoid pressure washers or high-velocity hoses, as these may cause damage to your screens.
- Before storing your windscreen, wash it down and allow it to dry completely.
