Gared Sports Basketball Backstops, Rims & Backboards

Gared Sports built its name on gymnasium basketball hardware, and this collection covers the full setup from structure to net. The Dual Post Front-Braced Front-Folding Ceiling Hung Basketball Backstop is the anchor piece for permanent gym installs, paired with a Clear Acrylic Basketball Backboard with Rim for game-ready visibility. For play spaces that need flexibility, the Micro-Z Recreational Indoor Portable Basketball Hoop and the Pro Jam Adjustable Basketball Hoop with Acrylic Board move where you need them, making them a fit for home gyms, rec rooms, and multi-use courts rather than fixed facility installs.

Rims are stocked in several styles: the Basketball Rim with Durable Breakaway Design, the Heavy-Duty Basketball Rim with Durable Net, the Playground Double Ring Breakaway Basketball Rim, and the Multi-Directional Breakaway Basketball Rim. Breakaway construction flexes under dunks and rebounds off the ball, reducing stress on the backboard mount compared to a rigid rim. Net options include the Welded Steel Chain Basketball Net WCN for outdoor and playground use and the Competition Anti-Whip Basketball Net GAW for indoor gameplay. Round out a backboard with the Professional PRO-MOLD Backboard Padding PMCE for player-facing safety padding on the board's underside.

Volleyball & Soccer Equipment from Gared Sports

For volleyball programs, Gared's SideOut 2-3/8" OD Outdoor Volleyball Net System ODVB and the SideOut 32' Outdoor Volleyball Hoop Net ODVBNET32 are built for permanent outdoor court installation, while the Regulation Volleyball Net covers indoor gym setups. Volleyball Floor Sleeves (available as standalone items) are the ground-mounted anchor point that lets net posts be installed and removed without leaving standing poles on the court between seasons.

On the field, the Touchline Striker Round-Frame Aluminum Soccer Goal comes in two regulation-adjacent sizes — 8' x 24' and 7' x 21' — both built on a round aluminum frame for club fields, school programs, and municipal parks looking for a permanent goal setup.

Bleachers, Wall Pads & Facility Accessories

Gared's Spectator Tip n' Roll bleachers make up a large share of this collection, with 15' and 21' lengths available in 2, 3, and 4-row configurations. Low-rise 15' models suit sidelines and smaller gyms, while standard 15' and 21' units fit gymnasiums and outdoor fields needing more elevated seating. Several row configurations also come in a double foot plank version for added stability on multi-row units — useful when comparing seating capacity against footprint for a gym, field house, or outdoor court.

Wall protection and facility accessories round out the lineup: the Standard Polyurethane Foam Wall Pad measures 2' x 6' x 2" and mounts using either the Z-Clip Wall Pad Attachment or the Velcro Wall Pad Attachment, depending on whether you need a permanent or removable hold. The 3-Tier Ball Rack – BR-12 keeps ball storage organized courtside, and the Outdoor Multi-Sport Cage Net with 3/4" square mesh is built for batting cages and multi-sport enclosure netting.

Tetherball and Playground Equipment

Gared also covers playground basics with the Tetherball and Rope set and the Sleeved Tetherball System, the latter designed for in-ground sleeve mounting similar to the volleyball floor sleeves used elsewhere in this collection — a practical option for parks, schools, and rec centers running multiple court sports off the same anchor system.

Choosing the Right Gared Equipment for Your Facility

Start with how permanent the install needs to be. Ceiling-hung backstops, in-ground volleyball sleeves, and aluminum soccer goals suit fixed facilities like school gyms and club fields, while portable basketball hoops, tetherball rope sets, and rack-based ball storage suit spaces that need to be reconfigured. Next, match rim and net type to use: breakaway rims and anti-whip nets for competitive indoor play, welded chain nets and cage netting for outdoor or high-wear areas. Finally, check wall pad attachment style — Z-Clip for a fixed mount, Velcro for pads that need to come off for cleaning or storage — before ordering padding to match your gym's post and wall dimensions.
