Having looked at the court and having no real knowledge I think the chipboard sides are the problem, the 2x4's are holding up well (a couple splitting where screws go into the ends) all the fail points are where the chipboard is bending or where screws are pulling out of it.
Also it's the uprights holding the nets that are failing (lowering the nets before bad weather might help a fair bit).
I think if we could rebuild the 2x4's into whole court frame and then attached the boards to that it would hold up much better. Obviously not something we can really do any time soon (although I think we should try using the spares to reinforce the boards), but if we are going to have more boards from this years London open it might be worth considering?
