The Brute Excel Basketball System features a vertical pole constructed of 5 9/16” O.D. Schedule 40 galvanized tubing, designed for a 48” bury into the ground and a 72” setback from the post to the backboard. Its backboard attachment is telescoping, allowing for up to 78” extension if desired. Two 1” round tubular braces support the top corners of the backboard and connect directly to the pole. The pole is designed so the rim mounts directly through the backboard into the horizontal extension to eliminate backboard stress during play.

The system includes a 42”x 72” rectangular steel backboard with an 11-gauge steel skin and ¼” thick vertical struts. The backboard has a white powder coat finish and an official orange shooters square. The standard rim is fabricated from 3/16” backplates and side plates, fully welded, and constructed from double 5/8” diameter high strength steel welded together at a minimum of six places. The entire rim is powder coated orange, and nets attach via a continuous net locking system made of 3/16”x 1” steel with punched slots, with a nylon net included.

The entire system weighs approximately 490#. The pole, backboard, and standard rim are covered by a Lifetime Unconditional Warranty.
