Product Overview
The All-Pro Jam GP12A72DM is built for parks, playgrounds and residential courts that need a durable adjustable basketball system outdoors. Its 6" x 8" rectangular steel post with 3/16" wall thickness carries two formed steel extension arms joined by a large diameter pivot bolt, with tight fit non-metallic flanged bearings at every pivot point.
A heavy duty lockable actuator raises and lowers the board and goal to any height between 7'-0" and 10'-0", covering youth through competitive play. At the 10'-0" playing height the arms hold the backboard 4'-0" (48") off the post for a clear safe play area, and the patented Quick-Connect bracket on the main lift arm simplifies board attachment during installation.
The backboard is the Gared BB72A38 rectangular acrylic, 42" high by 72" wide, using 3/8" thick acrylic permanently attached to a steel tubular frame with aluminum extrusions. It is fitted with the Gared 2000+ Collegiate Breakaway Goal - an official 18" ring of 5/8" diameter steel with full wing brace, continuous no-tie net attachment, orange powder coat finish and nylon net.
The post is surface mounted with a bolt-to-ground template plate and 3/4" zinc plated U-bolts, which also makes the system transportable later. Budget 1/2 yard of concrete or 14-16 bags of 80 lb pre-mix for the footing. Finished weight is 449 lbs / 204 kg. Padding is not included; LSCE72 board padding and PP8WR, PP8SQF or BP8SQ pole pads are available separately.
