If it is a transparent material, the border needs to be drawn with white lines; if it is a non-transparent material, the line color can be black, and the width of all lines is 0.05 meters (5 centimeters).

The perimeter of the backboard is inlaid with aluminum alloy edging to prevent bumps, and the lower edges on both sides are wrapped with rubber or sponge edging to prevent damage during placement.

The backboard pillar should be at least 2 meters away from the outer edge of the end line, and the pillar color should be bright and contrast with the background.

The front and back of the backboard must be covered with a bandage at a minimum of 0.02 meters (2 centimeters) from the bottom, and the minimum thickness of the bandage is 0.02 meters (2 centimeters); the bottom and edges of the backboard must be covered with a bandage on the bottom and sides, and the side bandage must be at least 0.35 meters (35 centimeters) from the bottom of the backboard.
