The Douglas Gooseneck 4.5" FAL Basketball System pairs a heavy wall galvanized steel gooseneck post with a fan-shaped cast aluminum backboard, delivering the strength and stability needed for high-traffic outdoor basketball installations. The 4-1/2" O.D. post is approximately 13' tall, with 3' designed to be set into a 4' x 2' concrete footing for long-term stability, and includes a welded backboard mounting plate for straightforward attachment.

The 36-1/2 in. x 54 in. FAL backboard is cast aluminum with a white powder coat finish and printed target and border, featuring 20 x 35 mounting centers and 12 reinforced mounting points with 5 in. x 4-1/2 in. hole spacing for secure attachment. The system includes a Dura Goal I front-mount rim with an 18 in. double steel ring (5/8 in. top ring, 1/2 in. bottom ring), dual 5/8 in. x 15 in. bracing, a universal backplate, and a nylon net.

This package is intended for standard in-ground, direct-bury installation and is backed by a 25-Year Limited Warranty on the post, a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the backboard, and a 2-year limited warranty on the Dura Goal I rim.
