Product Overview
The Champ Nitro-BP Basketball System features a vertical post built from 4" square steel tubing with an 11-gauge wall thickness, finished in black powder coat, and secured via a 3/8" thick baseplate with 4 welded support gussets for anchoring installation.
Adjustable extension arms, made of 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" tubing, allow a minimum 18" extension from post to backboard face at 10' playing height, with rim height adjustable from 10' down to 7 1/2' in six-inch increments using a pole or broom handle. A mounted spring counteracts backboard and rim weight for easy one-person adjustment, and the rim mounts directly through the backboard to the extension arm to reduce backboard stress.
The backboard is 1/4" thick clear tempered glass with fired-in ceramic markings, framed in clear anodized aluminum "L" extrusions, measuring approximately 60" wide by 36" high. The flexible, institutional-quality rim has a 5/8" diameter ring, standard 18" I.D. opening, orange powder coat finish, and a heavy-duty nylon net. The pole, backboard, and standard rim are covered by a Lifetime Limited Warranty, and the entire system weighs approximately 286#.
