Product Overview
In short
The TPT553-MD is a super-duty adjustable in-ground basketball system built for driveways and tighter play areas, featuring a 5" post with a 36" (3') offset and a 54"x36" 1/2" tempered glass backboard. It's suited for players wanting a compact-footprint hoop that still adjusts down to 5.5' for younger players. The package includes the backboard, breakaway rim & net, post and backboard padding, and bolt-down anchor hardware.
✓ Authorized Ironclad Sports Dealer — ships brand-new with the full lifetime warranty

The Ironclad Triple Threat TPT553-MD is designed for driveway installations or areas where play space is limited. Its 5" one-piece 7 gauge square post and 36" offset keep the backboard close to the post, reducing intrusion into the play area while remaining rigid enough for heavy dunking activity.

The unit uses a 1/2" thick tempered glass backboard measuring 54" x 36", paired with a breakaway flex rim and net for gymnasium-quality play. A spring-assist crank mechanism allows the backboard to be adjusted from 10' down to 5.5', with a rim height indicator for accuracy.

Every TPT553-MD ships with post and backboard padding, stainless steel assembly bolts, and Weather Shield protection consisting of a zinc galvanized undercoat topped with black powder coat paint. Installation uses a bolt-down anchor design, allowing the unit to be relocated if the owner moves, and delivery is made via liftgate.

Frequently asked questions

How much clearance is needed behind the unit if there's a wall?

Ironclad recommends allowing 18" of distance from the back of the post to any wall or obstruction for ease of cranking.

Can the hoop be moved if I relocate to a new home?

Yes, the bolt-down anchor base lets you disconnect the unit from its concrete footing and move it; new anchor bolts may be needed for re-installation.

What size backboard fits a typical driveway?

A two car driveway is best suited for a 54" backboard like this model, while larger driveways or backyard courts work better with 60" or 72" backboards.

Is JoySportStore an authorized Ironclad Sports dealer?

Yes. JoySportStore is an authorized Ironclad Sports dealer, so every system ships brand-new from the factory in Hutchinson, Kansas with the full Ironclad lifetime warranty and factory support.
