Product Overview
The First Team FT240 Competition Glass Basketball Backboard is constructed from ½" thick tempered glass, featuring an official white shooter's square and border. Its frame is made of aluminum extrusion, secured by corner brackets, and is pre-drilled for First Team Model FT72C TuffGuard Backboard Padding. The backboard is designed with a 5"x4" goal mounting pattern.
For installation, the rear structure supports industry standard 20"x35" mounting. A fabricated steel support structure is integrated into the rear side of the backboard, enabling mounting to ceiling or wall structures where fan-shaped backboards were previously installed. Steel spacers protrude through the glass for rim mounting, ensuring the rim does not contact the glass during play even with up to 1000 lbs. of pressure. This backboard meets all NCAA and National Federation of State High School Associations standards, has an approximate shipping weight of 230#, and carries a Lifetime Superior Warranty.
