Product Overview
The FT60 TuffGuard Recreational Backboard Padding is built with cellular construction, featuring a protective skin that has an average minimum thickness of .06” and a minimum pressure rating of 125 psi. This padding is specifically designed to shed rainwater, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
The padding system is engineered for versatile mounting, capable of attaching to all brands and styles of 60” wide rectangular backboards. Attachment is facilitated by provided self-drilling screws, and the mounting system gains rigidity and strength from a steel track molded directly into the padding. The design incorporates two “L” shaped padding segments, which are precisely joined in the center by molded line-up stubs. For maximum safety and ease of installation, the corners of the padding are molded square, eliminating the need for mitering, gluing, or forming during attachment. All included hardware is zinc-plated for durability.
The FT60 TuffGuard padding system is available in a variety of colors, with the color being continuous throughout the entire thickness of the padding, not just on the skin. Each padding unit carries a 1-Year Limited Warranty and has an approximate shipping weight of 8#.
