✓ Authorized Gared Dealer — ships brand-new with full manufacturer warranty & support

The Scholastic Flex Rim is the choice for a facility that needs an institutional-quality breakaway rim without a positive lock mechanism. The 1000 is built on a balanced two spring design so the goal deflects in degrees according to the applied pressure, giving the accordion-like breakaway action that suits playgrounds, elementary courts and recreational facilities.

The ring is official size, 18" of 5/8" diameter steel, supported by a continuous welded wrap around brace, and finished in official orange powder coat. A continuous no-tie ring speeds net changes, and the goal is supplied with an anti-whip nylon net and mounting hardware. Gared states the goal meets NCAA and high school requirements and is factory set to deflect at 90 lbs.

The universal goal mounting plate fits the hole pattern for most 42" and 48" rectangular backboards and most fan-shaped backboards, making the 1000 one of the most compatible options for non-competition board and rim combinations. Installation uses two carriage bolts through the top mounting holes plus hex bolts below, with stud nuts torqued to 9 to 11 ft-lbs and all bolt nuts to 15 to 20 ft-lbs.
