Product Overview
In short
The Gared 1260 is a 42" x 60" unmarked rectangular steel basketball backboard for playground and outdoor courts. It is stamped from a single piece of 12 GA. steel and reinforced on the reverse side with 12 GA. horizontal channels and a 10 GA. vertical channel, all welded into one vibration free unit. Key-slots are spaced 20" vertical by 35" horizontal and goal mounting holes are on 5" x 5" centers.
✓ Authorized Gared Dealer — ships brand-new with full manufacturer warranty & support

The 1260 is built for rugged playground use. The face is a single stamped 12 GA. steel shell, and the reverse side carries 12 GA. formed horizontal mounting channels plus a 10 GA. formed vertical center channel. Every reinforcing section is welded to the shell, so the finished board behaves as one vibration free unit rather than a panel that rattles under play.

Mounting uses a keyslot configuration - key-slots in the horizontal channels are spaced at 20" vertical and 35" horizontal - which lets crews take the board down or swap a rim safely. Goal mounting holes are on 5" horizontal and 5" vertical centers; check the Goal-Board Matrix specification sheet for goal compatibility.

The board is phosphate pre-treated before receiving a durable white powder coat that protects against weathering, and the face is left unmarked. It is made in the United States and ships by truck at 165 lbs / 74.84 kg.
