What is liftgate?

Standard (curbside) freight delivery: the driver brings the pallet to your address but does not unload it, so you need a loading dock, a forklift or enough people to unload it.

Liftgate delivery: the truck's hydraulic liftgate lowers the pallet to the ground, the right choice for a home, school, park or any address without a dock. To add it, choose the shipping method "Premium Insured Freight + Liftgate (+$209)" at checkout. It is $209 per order and covers all freight items in the order. It does not include inside delivery or assembly. Shipping policy

The FT221 Glass Basketball Backboard is a 36"x60" tempered glass backboard designed for use with First Team basketball systems. It features cushioned 1/4" thick tempered glass paired with an anodized aluminum framework for durability and structural support.

This backboard has an approximate shipping weight of 55 lbs. and is currently in stock and ready to ship. Note that per the manufacturer's Q&A, tempered glass backboards like the FT221 are particularly susceptible to vandalism, so acrylic is recommended for unsupervised public access locations such as town parks.

The manufacturer notes that custom shapes are not available for this tempered glass backboard, though custom decals can be added upon request.

Frequently asked questions

For a town park with unsupervised public access, would you recommend an acrylic backboard or tempered glass?

Definitely acrylic if unsupervised public access. Tempered glass is particularly susceptible to vandalism.

Can you make a custom shaped backboard from tempered glass?

We can add a custom decal to the backboard, but cannot make custom shapes.

Is JoySportStore an authorized First Team dealer?

Yes. JoySportStore is an authorized First Team dealer, so every unit ships brand-new from the factory with the full First Team manufacturer warranty and support.
