Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the mound after each use by removing dirt, debris, and grass. Use a soft brush or rinse with a hose. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washers that could damage the material. Allow it to dry thoroughly before storing.

• Proper Storage: Store the pitching mound in a dry, shaded area when not in use. Keep it elevated off the ground to prevent exposure to moisture or water, which can lead to deterioration or mold growth.

• Inspect for Damage: Frequently inspect the mound for any cracks, punctures, or signs of wear. If any damage is detected, address it promptly with appropriate repairs, such as patching small tears or reinforcing weak areas.

• Handling with Care: When moving the mound, avoid dragging it on rough surfaces. Always use the built-in handles for lifting and transportation to prevent strain on the mound’s structure.

• Avoid Extreme Weather: Protect the mound from extreme weather conditions, such as direct sunlight for prolonged periods, heavy rain, or snow. Extreme temperatures can cause material degradation over time.

• Stabilize Before Use: Ensure the mound is level and secure before use. Make sure it's stable and positioned properly on the field to prevent any shifting that could affect pitching or safety.

• Check for Surface Wear: Regularly examine the surface where pitchers step. Over time, the area may wear down from frequent use. Address surface issues promptly to prevent discomfort or safety risks for players.
