The PK3540 maximizes physical education and park budgets with a commercial grade playground basketball system. It is built on the GNA35 gooseneck post - 3-1/2" O.D. with a 3' extension - and includes the AAB35-12 brace and 15G353946 brace kit, giving a 36" safe play area between the post and the playing surface under the board.

The package ships complete with a 1245T fan-shape marked steel backboard and a 39WO economy fixed single rim, so no separate board or goal order is needed. Country of origin is United States/China; the system moves by truck under shipping class 70 at 264 lbs / 119.75 kg in a 37" x 3" x 54" carton.

Gared specifies that only authorized personnel should install or adjust the equipment, and that no one under the age of 18 should attempt assembly or setup unless properly supervised. To prevent normal wear and tear from shortening the life of the unit, preventative maintenance inspections and repairs should be performed at least once per year, more often under high or unusual usage. Do not substitute for factory parts without checking with Gared Customer Service.
