Jaypro Sports 996-PERF-UG Gooseneck Basketball System with 72-Inch Perforated Steel Backboard

Outdoor basketball courts in public parks and schoolyards require equipment that can withstand both heavy use and the elements. The Jaypro Sports 996-PERF-UG system is engineered for these high-traffic environments, featuring a robust 4-1/2 inch diameter Schedule 40 steel gooseneck pole. This upright is designed for permanent in-ground installation, burying 48 inches deep to provide a rock-solid foundation for aggressive play. The 48-inch offset creates a significant "Play Safe" area under the rim, reducing the risk of players colliding with the support post during layups or rebounds.

The system is equipped with a regulation-sized 72-inch by 42-inch perforated steel backboard. This design choice is intentional; the perforations allow wind to pass through the board, reducing structural strain during storms while maintaining a consistent ball response. To ensure the board remains rigid, two 1-5/16 inch diameter steel braces provide additional reinforcement. Paired with the heavy-duty UBG-500 Playground Goal, this setup delivers professional-level performance in a package built for the rigors of the outdoors. The galvanized finish on the pole provides excellent corrosion resistance, though powder coating options are available for facilities looking for a specific aesthetic. With a total shipping weight of 402 lbs, this system is a substantial, long-term addition to any athletic facility.
