How to Properly Care for Your SportScreen: Maintenance Tips
september 23, 2024
The SportScreen is an incredible tool for off-ice practice, allowing you to perfect your shot at home without worrying about damaging your garage door, walls, or vehicles. To ensure that your SportScreen continues to perform at its best for years to come, it’s important to install and care for it properly. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through essential tips on installing, maintaining, and preserving your SportScreen so that it remains in peak condition.
Installation: Set It Up for Success
Proper installation is the foundation of long-lasting performance. Here are some key steps to ensure a smooth and secure setup:
Choose the Right Location: The SportScreen is designed to be mounted on garages, inside homes, or in any open space where there is a sturdy frame. Before installation, make sure that the location has sufficient clearance to allow the screen to be fully extended and retracted without any obstructions.
Follow the Installation Instructions: The SportScreen comes with an easy-to-follow installation manual, and we highly recommend reading it in detail. If you prefer a visual aid, there are also installation videos available on our website, which show step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process.
Check for Levelling: A critical part of the installation process is making sure that the screen is mounted evenly. Use a level to ensure that the mounting bar is aligned properly to prevent any unnecessary strain on the screen over time.
Use the Appropriate Hardware: Always use the recommended hardware and tools provided in the installation kit. This ensures that your SportScreen is securely fastened, providing durability and safety during use.
Ensure the Screen Hangs Freely: It’s important to make sure that the screen is hanging freely by its own weight and not dragging on the ground. This helps avoid premature wear and tear, especially in the bottom pocket where added friction can cause damage over time.
Maintenance: Keep Your SportScreen in Prime Condition
Maintaining your SportScreen is crucial to ensure its longevity and continued performance. Follow these care guidelines to keep it in top shape:
Regular Cleaning: Keep the screen surface clean by wiping it down regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could weaken the material. Regular cleaning prevents dirt buildup, which can cause the screen to wear down over time.
Retract When Not in Use: When you’re not using your SportScreen, it’s a good idea to retract it. This helps prevent unnecessary exposure to the elements, especially UV rays and extreme weather, which can degrade the screen’s material over time.
