Product Overview
The BB72P50 is Gared's unbreakable rectangular backboard for facilities and outdoor courts that punish glass or acrylic boards. The playing surface is 1/2" thick clear polycarbonate treated for UV protection and abrasion resistance, so it stays clear outdoors and shrugs off impact.
The surface is permanently attached to a unitized welded tubular frame built from heavy wall 3/4" x 1.5" rectangular steel tubing, with two vertical struts on 35 inch centers for added board support and for mounting to the support structure. The frame is powder coated separately in a flat black weather resistant finish before assembly, and the board is finished with aluminum trim plus a white border and target.
A reinforced goal mounting area allows direct mounting of goal, board and structure together, using two integral holes for 3/8" carriage bolts. Because those holes permanently attach the board to the post, a goal can be replaced later without taking the board down. Goal mounting holes are on standard 5" horizontal and 4" or 5" vertical centers, and the board is designed for use with residential adjustable units, gooseneck posts and straight arm posts.
