Product Overview
The 66T is Gared's best selling economical fixed goal for institutional courts. The ring is official size at 18" diameter and made from 5/8" diameter steel, braced from beneath and finished in official orange powder coat. Continuous no-tie net attachment means the net snaps into place instead of being tied, which shortens both installation and net changes.
Structurally the goal is welded steel with a 7-gauge back plate 6" wide and 7/16" square mounting holes, so it bolts to the rear of a compatible board. Gared lists models 1266 and 1266B as compatible backboards and refers installers to the Goal-Board Matrix specification sheet for other boards.
Installation uses four carriage bolts torqued to 15-20 ft-lbs plus a 7/16" hex bolt through the bottom of the goal into the threaded hole in the board, torqued to 20-24 ft-lbs, followed by the cover plate and net. Maintenance calls for spraying the swing rod and bushings with penetrating lubricant twice a year and an annual inspection of moving components, welds and overall condition. The goal is factory set to deflect at 90 lbs and meets NCAA (except Division I) and NFSHSA specifications.
