The First Team HydroChamp III Basketball System is built with a durable one-piece 4” square stainless steel vertical pole, featuring a minimum 11 gauge wall thickness and a black powder-coated finish. It includes a 3/8” thick baseplate with four support gussets for installation via an anchoring system, complete with 5/8” diameter stainless steel anchor bolts and a black ABS finishing cover. A watertight vinyl cap seals the pole from moisture.

The system's adjustable extension arms, made of 1 1/2” x 1 1/2” tubing, provide a minimum 18” extension from the pole to the backboard face. Rim height can be adjusted over a 30” range in six-inch increments using a pole or broom handle, aided by two springs for easy one-person adjustments. The 1/2” thick acrylic backboard, approximately 54” wide and 36” high, is framed with clear anodized aluminum “L” type extrusions.

An institutional quality, flexible rim with an official 5/8” diameter ring and standard 18” I.D. opening is included, pre-treated with yellow zinc and finished in orange powder coat, accompanied by a heavy-duty nylon net. The entire system weighs approximately 160 lbs. The pole, backboard, and standard rim are protected by a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
