Product Overview
In short
The Douglas FST Fan Shaped Steel Backboard (38 in. x 55 in.) is a 12 gauge steel backboard with white powdercoat finish and an orange target, built for unsupervised and urban play environments.

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

The Douglas FST Fan Shaped Steel Backboard is designed for rugged, unsupervised playground use where durability outweighs the need for a true glass-like rebound. Its 12 gauge steel shell is finished in white powdercoat with a printed orange target, and an integral reinforcing steel channel on the back adds mounting support and structural strength.

Mounting is handled through keyhole slots positioned at 20 in. vertical by 35 in. horizontal centers, allowing the board to be permanently attached to a post while still enabling goal replacement without removing the backboard itself. Two additional safety mount holes are included to reduce vibration during play.

This backboard is compatible with gooseneck and straight-arm posts using a 5 in. x 4 1/2 in. hole spacing, and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. At 140 lbs, it is a heavy-duty option intended for high-traffic public or playground settings.
