• Dry Thoroughly Before Storing: Ensure the mound is completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew buildup. Store the mound in a dry, cool area when not in use, keeping it away from moisture.

• Proper Storage: Always store the mound in a dry, sheltered location when not in use, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid leaving it outdoors in wet or humid conditions to protect it from deterioration.

• Inspect for Wear and Damage: Regularly inspect the mound for any cracks, tears, or other signs of wear. Address any damage immediately to prevent further degradation. Small issues can be repaired using the manufacturer’s recommended materials.

• Handle with Care: When moving the mound, lift it carefully rather than dragging it on rough or uneven surfaces. Use the designated handles or lift by the sides to prevent damaging the mound.

• Avoid Extreme Weather Exposure: Protect the mound from prolonged exposure to extreme heat, cold, or intense sunlight. Extreme conditions can cause the material to weaken, crack, or fade over time.
