The First Team Force Endura In Ground Adjustable Basketball Goal features a 5" square steel vertical pole with a 3/16" wall thickness and a black powdercoat finish. The pole is installed via an anchoring system, supported by a 3/8" thick baseplate and 4 support gussets. Its main extension arm is constructed of dual 1 1/2" x 3" (11 ga.) tubing, providing a minimum 48" extension from the front of the post to the face of the backboard at any playing height.

Rim height is infinitely adjustable from 10' down to 5' using a crank cylinder with a minimum 2000# capacity, located no higher than 3 1/2' from ground level. This adjustment mechanism includes an optional locking device to control unwanted adjustment and a spring loaded backup safety device to minimize adjustment effort. An easy-to-read height adjustment label is included. The backboard is 36"x 60" rectangular aluminum with a 10 gauge aluminum pan skin, a white powdercoat finish, and an official orange shooters square.

The standard rim is fabricated from 3/16" backplates and sideplates, fully welded, and is double 5/8" diameter high strength steel, welded together at a minimum of six places. The entire rim is powdercoated orange. Nets attach via a continuous netlocking system of 3/16"x 1" steel with punched slots for nylon or chain nets, and a nylon net is included. The pole design allows the rim to mount directly to the extension arm through the backboard to reduce stress. The entire system weighs approximately 360#, and the pole, backboard, and standard rim carry a Lifetime Superior Warranty.
