Product Overview
The Champ III-BP features a 4" square steel vertical pole with an 11-gauge wall thickness, black powder coat finish, and a 3/8" thick baseplate with 4 support gussets welded at the bottom for anchoring installation.
Adjustable extension arms, built from 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" tubing, allow rim height adjustment from 10' down to 7 1/2' in six-inch increments using a pole or broom handle, with a spring-assisted mechanism enabling one-person adjustment. The rim mounts directly to the extension arm through the backboard to reduce backboard stress.
The system includes a 54" wide by 36" high backboard made of 1/2" thick acrylic with bright white screening and clear anodized aluminum "L" type extrusion framework, paired with a flexible, institutional-quality rim featuring an official 5/8" diameter ring, 18" I.D. opening, orange powder coated finish, and heavy-duty nylon net. The entire system weighs approximately 281 pounds and the pole, backboard, and standard rim carry a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
