Finally, if the owner can hide it from the sun, the plastic will not fade. But all this is almost maintenance-free compared to the nightmare of a concrete court.

8-Are there any environmental considerations to take into account when using a plastic shuffleboard court?
Yes, there are some environmental considerations to take into account when using a plastic shuffleboard court. While plastic courts are generally considered to be more environmentally friendly than traditional courts made of wood or concrete, they are still made from synthetic materials that can take a long time to decompose. Additionally, the production of plastic materials can be resource-intensive and may contribute to carbon emissions.
To minimize the environmental impact of using a plastic shuffleboard court, owners may want to consider factors such as the materials used in its construction, the energy efficiency of lighting and other equipment used during play, and the proper disposal of any waste generated during maintenance or repairs. Additionally, some manufacturers may offer eco-friendly options or recycling programs for used courts. Call Planet Shuffleboard if you want to recycle your old plastic court.
