What is a Backboard Mount Map?

The word backboard suggests a board affixed to the back of a map.  This is not the case at all!  A backboard in the pull down roller map world is acutally a metal encasing used to mount a roller map.  The backboard is a necessary accessory to pull down maps you wish to mount on your wipeboard /chalkboard rail or to a wall.  The roller holding the maps is mounted within the backboard incasing.  Without the backboard, one would be unable to mount the map.  If you are looking for custom map sets with backboards, please visit us at Classroom Maps AtoZ
