gauge steel with ¼" thick vertical struts. Backboard shall have a white
powdercoat finish, and have an official orange shooters square.

fully welded. Rim shall be double 5/8" diameter, high strength steel welded
together at a minimum of six places. Nets shall be attached by means of a
continuous netlocking system constructed of 3/16"x 1" steel with punched slots
that facilitate the use of either nylon or chain nets (nylon net included). The
entire rim shall be powdercoated orange. Other rims including outdoor breakaway
rims shall be available.
