Product Overview
Jaypro Sports 656-ALP-SG Gooseneck Basketball System with Perforated Aluminum Backboard
Equipping public parks, schoolyards, and community centers with reliable athletic equipment requires a balance of structural integrity and player safety. The Jaypro Sports 656-ALP-SG Gooseneck Basketball System is engineered specifically for these high-use outdoor environments. At its core is a massive 5-9/16 inch diameter Schedule 40 steel pole, which provides a rigid foundation capable of withstanding aggressive play and harsh weather conditions. The gooseneck design offers a 71-inch offset, creating a significant "Play Safe" area under the rim to reduce the risk of player contact with the post during layups or rebounds.
The system features a 72-inch by 42-inch perforated aluminum backboard. This design choice is intentional; the perforations allow wind to pass through the board, reducing the structural strain on the unit during storms while maintaining a consistent ball response. For added stability, the backboard is supported by two 1-5/16 inch diameter steel braces. Paired with the heavy-duty Super Goal, this setup ensures long-term performance without the maintenance headaches often associated with glass or acrylic in unsupervised areas. The entire unit is secured via an in-ground mount that buries 48 inches deep, providing a permanent, wobble-free installation for any recreational facility.
