The First Team RetroFit36 III Backboard Refurbishing Kit, also referred to as Retrofit36 Endura, features a robust 1/4” thick steel support structure (FT36RF) that is powder coated silver. This structure is specifically designed to bolt into the backside of most 36” tall backboards manufactured by First Team, Inc. It also provides vertical mounting slots for attachment to most poles with a faceplate at least 6”x6”, potentially requiring drilling, and incorporates adequate rim support to prevent backboard breakage from players hanging on the rim.

The kit includes a 36”x 60” rectangular aluminum backboard, featuring a 10-gauge aluminum pan skin. The backboard is finished with a white powder coat and marked with an official orange shooters square. The standard rim provided is fabricated from 3/16” backplates and side plates, fully welded, and constructed from double 5/8” diameter high strength steel welded at a minimum of six places. The rim is powder coated orange and includes a net locking system that accommodates both nylon and chain nets, with a nylon net being included. Other rim options, such as outdoor breakaway rims, are available. The complete system has an approximate weight of 145# and carries a Lifetime Limited Warranty for the support structure, backboard, and standard rim.
