Product Overview
The RuffNeck Select-EXT Basketball System is built with a robust vertical pole constructed of 4 ½" O.D. RS40 zinc flow coated steel tubing with a 7 ga. wall thickness, designed for a 48" bury into the ground. It provides a 60" setback from the post to the backboard, supported by two 1" round galvanized tubular braces connecting directly to the pole. This design ensures the rim mounts directly through the backboard into the horizontal extension, eliminating backboard stress during play.
The system's backboard is a 36"x 60" rectangular acrylic board, 1/2" thick, framed with a 1/8" thick anodized aluminum framework. It features a bright white 2" boarder and an official shooter's square screened on the backside to eliminate wear. The standard rim is of a flexible, institutional quality, featuring an official 5/8" diameter high strength steel ring supported by a 3/16" brace supporting 60% of the ring.
The rim is equipped with a heavy duty compression wire spring, a steel coverplate that encloses the entire internal mechanism, and structural components built of no less than 3/16" steel. It has an orange powdercoated finish and is punched to mount with either a 3"x 4" or 5"x 5" hole pattern. The entire system has an approximate weight of 245# and is covered by a 20-Year Limited Warranty for the pole, backboard, and standard rim.
