Product Overview
The GP106G72 is the 6' extension, glass backboard configuration of Gared's GP100 Series Endurance Playground System. The vertical post is 6" square tubing with a 1/4" wall in ASTM A500 GrB steel, and the extension arm uses a triangular tubing design welded to a heavy plate and connected to the post with four 3/4" diameter U-bolts. Two galvanized and powder coated braces run from the upper backboard mounting points back to the post and extension arm to add rigidity.
Every steel part is hot dip galvanized and then powder coated black for extended corrosion protection, and the hardware is zinc plated, so the system is suited to permanent outdoor playground and park installation. Mounting geometry follows the standard 10'-0" [3.05 m] rim height, and the 72" extension arm places the backboard 6' clear of the post for a full safe play area behind the goal.
This package ships as post 9-72-0001, extension arm 502003, BB72G50 glass backboard, 8800 Endurance breakaway goal, board brace 401653698 and brace kit 153453940. Installation requires a concrete foundation supplied by others, minimum 3'-6" [1.07 m] deep over a 0'-6" [0.15 m] gravel base, and the foundation size shown is a minimum that should be reviewed against local wind loads and soil conditions. Fitted and wrap-around pole pads (PP6SQF, PP6WR) are available separately.
