Standing 8 feet high, this series is engineered with a durable fiberglass shell, encased in a thick gel coat and finished with solar- and impact-resistant polyurethane paint, ensuring a long-lasting, weather-resistant hitting surface. Its 1.75-inch thick core features a specialized sound-deadening matrix, significantly reducing noise compared to typical wood backboards, making practice more enjoyable for everyone. The design cleverly omits a metal frame to optimize cost without compromising structural integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike wood, the Bakko backboard resists fading, warping, peeling, and rot, providing years of maintenance-free performance that outperforms traditional DIY options. It mounts securely to three horizontal rows of provided pressure-treated 2x4s, creating a solid foundation. While basic carpentry skills are required for installation, and customers are responsible for drilling holes through the 4-foot wide panels at specified heights, a complete assembly kit with green-faced bolts is included for straightforward side-by-side construction. Available in 12, 16, and 20-foot wide configurations, with the 20-foot option being a popular choice for comprehensive practice setups, this backboard is backed by a 10-year pro-rated structural warranty and a 1-year paint warranty, ensuring peace of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs at a Glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 8'H x 12'W, 8'H x 16'W, or 8'H x 20'W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePanel Thickness: 1.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Thick fiberglass shell with gel coat and solar\/impact-resistant polyurethane paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore: Specialized sound-deadening matrix interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting System: Pressure-treated 2x4 horizontal supports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStructural Warranty: 10-year pro-rated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaint Warranty: 1-year on Imron paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Douglas","offers":[{"title":"8'H x 12'W","offer_id":48774240600291,"sku":"34835A","price":2988.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8'H x 16'W","offer_id":48774240633059,"sku":"34835B","price":3898.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8'H x 20'W","offer_id":48774240665827,"sku":"34835C","price":4678.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/8370\/6339\/files\/34835A-3.jpg?v=1779297601","url":"https:\/\/joysportstore.com\/products\/douglas-bakko-backboard-economy-flat-series","provider":"JoySportStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
