Product Overview
The Gared Pro Arena Portable Basketball System (9718E) is designed for collegiate and professional play, featuring a 10' 8" regulation boom that attaches directly to the breakaway rim for maximum glass backboard stability. The electric actuator allows for convenient adjustment, addressing performance and convenience features requested by facilities.
Constructed from steel with a powdercoat finish, the unit is manufactured in the United States. The base is fully covered in vinyl padding, which can be customized to display team logos or sponsor marketing.
