✓ Authorized Douglas Dealer — ships brand-new with the full factory warranty

The Douglas F5 655 Steel Outdoor Basketball System is built for durability and safety in high-use outdoor environments. It features a 12 gauge steel rectangular backboard measuring 42 in. x 60 in. with a white powder coat finish and an integral reinforced steel channel for mounting support. The 5 ft. fixed extension arm is uniquely angled to maximize the safe-play area while minimizing potential contact with the mount.

The system's pressure flex breakaway goal is constructed of robust steel with a CSPC-compliant powder-coat finish, featuring a 5/8 in. thick, 18 in. steel rim and a double spring breakaway mechanism designed to withstand aggressive play and dunks. The 6 in. square galvanized steel pole has a 3/16 in. wall thickness and a black acrylic powder coat finish for corrosion resistance, complemented by 2 in. thick form-fitted pole and base padding for player safety.

Installation is designed for ease and reliability, with systems set in a 4 ft. deep concrete footing using a J-bolt anchor system that allows for accurate leveling and future relocation. Backboard padding comes pre-installed, and both pole and board padding are made from UV and all-weather resistant vinyl to withstand year-round outdoor conditions.
