Product Specification

1. VERTICAL POLE - Vertical post shall be constructed of 4 ½" O.D. RS40 zinc flow coated steel tubing with a 7 ga. wall thickness. Design shall allow for a 48" bury into the ground and a 48" setback from post to backboard. Two 1" round galvanized tubular braces shall support the top corners of the backboard and connect directly to the pole.

3. RIM - Standard rim shall be of a flexible type so as to absorb the stress of player contact. Spring action shall be provided by a heavy duty compression wire spring. A steel coverplate must enclose entire internal mechanism. All structural components shall be built of no less than 3/16" steel. Rim shall be of institutional quality with an official 5/8"diameter high strength steel ring supported by a 3/16" brace supporting 60% of the ring. Rim shall be punched to mount either a 3"x 4" or 5"x 5" hole pattern. Orange powdercoated finish.
