Ironclad Highlight Hoops 42"x72" Fixed Height In-Ground Basketball Hoop

The Ironclad HIL885-XXL pairs a regulation-size 42"x72" x 1/2" tempered glass backboard with a super stable 8" square, one-piece 7 ga. steel post for a fixed-height, in-ground basketball system. A 5' (60") offset from post to backboard keeps the post 12" off the court, giving players extra clearance and reducing contact risk during play.

The system is bolt-down mounted, which allows for easier installation and the ability to relocate the goal if the owner moves, provided a new set of anchor bolts is purchased. It includes a breakaway rim and net for gymnasium-quality play, along with free post and backboard padding for player safety.

Corrosion protection comes from Ironclad's Weather Shield process, a zinc galvanized undercoat topped with black powder coat paint, and all hardware is stainless steel. The unit ships via liftgate delivery and is backed by Ironclad's lifetime warranty for the original owner.

Lifetime warranty (original owner) covers dunking/rim-hang damage; excludes vandalism & weather/UV wear; paint and padding limited to 1 year.

How much clearance should I leave behind the post if there's a wall?

Ironclad recommends allowing 18" of distance from the back of the post to any wall or obstruction for ease of use and to avoid scraped knuckles.

Can I move this hoop if I relocate to a new house?

Yes, the bolt-down anchor base allows the unit to be disconnected from its concrete footing and reinstalled elsewhere using a new set of anchor bolts.

What backboard size fits my driveway or court area?

A two-car driveway suits a 54" or 60" backboard, while three-car driveways and dedicated backyard courts, like this 72" regulation model, work best with 60" or 72" wide backboards.
