Product Overview
The First Team Force Extreme In Ground Adjustable Basketball Goal features a robust design, starting with a 5" square steel vertical pole with a 3/16" wall thickness, finished in black powdercoat. Its main adjustable extension arm is constructed of dual 1 ½" x 3" (11 ga.) tubing, providing a minimum 48" extension from the front of the post to the backboard face. The goal's height can be adjusted infinitely from 10' down to 6½' using a crank cylinder with a minimum 2000# capacity, located no higher than 3 ½' from ground level for easy access.
The system includes a 36"x 60" rectangular steel backboard with a 10 gauge steel pan skin, finished in white powdercoat and marked with an official orange shooters square. The standard rim is fabricated from 3/16" backplates and sideplates, featuring double 5/8" diameter high-strength steel welded in at least six places. It comes with a continuous netlocking system for attaching either nylon or chain nets, with a nylon net included, and the entire rim is powdercoated orange.
Designed for in-ground installation via an anchoring system, the complete unit weighs approximately 360#. The pole, backboard, and standard rim are all covered by a Lifetime Superior Warranty.
