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

The Douglas F4 445 STEEL Basketball System is a smaller version of Douglas' F5 fixed series, featuring a 4-foot extension arm and an adequate safe-play area that minimizes potential contact with the extension mount. The system uses an easy-to-install, in-ground direct bury design, making it ideal for neighborhood parks, municipalities, and school playgrounds.

The system includes a durable 42 in. x 60 in. rectangular steel backboard with a 12-gauge steel shell, white powder coat finish, and orange-printed target and border, along with an integral reinforced steel channel for mounting support. The 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 pressure flex breakaway mechanism with a hidden net attachment style.

The 4-foot fixed extension arm is built from corrosion-resistant 4 in. x 4 in. reinforced steel, attaching to the backboard base and outer frame perimeter for a clear-view style, with adjustable upper brace arms for added stability. The structured steel pole is made from 4 in. square structural steel with 3/16 in. wall thickness and measures 14 ft. in length, allowing for a 4-foot deep concrete footing installation. All steel components feature a black, baked-on powder coat finish with stainless steel fastening hardware for all-weather protection.
