Product Overview
The PK6040 is the heavy-duty end of Gared's gooseneck playground line. Its 5-9/16" O.D. post is the largest diameter in the family and delivers a 6' safe play area, pushing the pole well clear of the shooting lane on outdoor courts that see constant use.
The package includes a 42" x 72" acrylic backboard and a double breakaway rim, a combination aimed at rigorous, full-court play rather than casual recreation. PK6040 is a braced model, so braces are part of the installation and assembly follows the braced-model sequence in the Gared gooseneck backboard system instructions.
The system ships by truck at 475 lbs (215.46 kg) with shipping dimensions of 75" x 6" x 72" and shipping class 70. Gared warns that only authorized personnel should install or adjust the extension arm, backboard or goal, and recommends preventative maintenance inspections at least once per year, more frequently under high or unusual usage.
