I-backboard{0}}ekwazi ukumelana nomswakama ngokuvamile yenziwa ngezinto ezingangeni manzi, njengamapulasitiki e-polymer noma amashidi ensimbi anamekwe ngokukhethekile. Umswakama wayo oncomekayo{2}izakhiwo zobufakazi zivimbele ngempumelelo ukungena komswakamo nokujiya, ngaleyo ndlela kuvimbele ukulimala kwezinto zokwakha obangelwa indawo enomswakama. Emikhakheni yezokwakha nezasekhaya, ibhodi elingemuva{4}}elingazweli umswakama lisetshenziswa kakhulu ezindaweni ezinomswakama njengamakhishi nezindlu zangasese, hhayi nje kuphela ukuvikela izindonga kodwa futhi kunweba ubude besikhathi sebhilidi.
