Product Overview
The First Team FT239 Competition Glass Basketball Backboard is constructed from ½" thick tempered glass, featuring an official white shooter's square and border. Its frame is made of aluminum extrusion, secured at the corners by corner brackets.
The backboard provides a 5"x4" goal mounting pattern and an industry standard 20"x35" rear structure mounting, designed to allow installation where fan-shaped boards previously existed. Rim mounting involves glass sandwiched between two cushioned steel plates, with top bolts passing through tubular steel bushings and lower studs pre-mounted into a steel faceplate. The frame is also pre-drilled for First Team Model FT72C TuffGuard Backboard Padding.
The FT239 backboard meets all NCAA and National Federation of State High School Associations standards. It has an approximate shipping weight of 220# and is backed by a 10-Year Limited Warranty.
