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

The Durable Gooseneck 5-9/16" RPGR Basketball System from Douglas is engineered for extreme outdoor play, featuring a 5-9/16 in. O.D. gooseneck post with a 6 ft. extension formed from heavy wall galvanized steel. Each post stands approximately 13 ft. tall, with 3 ft. installed in a 4 ft. x 2 ft. concrete footing for long-term stability, and includes a welded backboard mounting plate for hassle-free attachment.

The system pairs with a 42 in. x 60 in. rectangular clear acrylic backboard, made from 3/8 in. thick shatter-proof acrylic that resists fading, fogging, clouding, scuffs, and abrasions. The backboard is encased in an all-aluminum frame with a welded steel back frame and a standard 5 in. x 5 in. hole pattern, backed by a 10-year limited warranty.

Completing the system is a Flex Breakaway Rim offering accordion-like breakaway action, suitable for institutional and recreational settings that need breakaway performance without a positive lock mechanism. The rim's no-tie attachment and universal backplate make it compatible with most non-competition backboard and rim combinations, and it carries a 2 year warranty. The complete system weighs 483.000 lbs and is designed for standard direct-bury installation.
