Product Overview
The Champ II-BP features a vertical post constructed of 4" square steel tubing with 11-gauge wall thickness and a black powder coat finish, secured by a 3/8" thick baseplate and 4 welded support gussets for anchoring installation.
Adjustable extension arms, built from 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" tubing, allow at least 18" of clearance from the post to the backboard face and enable rim height adjustment from 10' down to 7 1/2' in six-inch increments, using a pole or broom handle to release the mechanism. A mounted spring counteracts the 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 3/8" thick acrylic with bright white screening in a clear anodized aluminum "L" type extrusion frame, measuring approximately 48" wide by 36" high. The flexible, institutional-quality rim has a 5/8" diameter ring, standard 18" I.D. opening, orange powder coated finish, and a heavy-duty nylon net. The complete system weighs approximately 263 lbs and carries a Lifetime Limited Warranty on the pole, backboard, and standard rim.
