Product Overview
The First Team Jam III-BP is an adjustable in-ground basketball goal built around a 4" square steel vertical pole with 11-gauge wall thickness, a black powder coat finish, and a 3/8" thick baseplate with 4 welded support gussets for anchoring installation.
Its dual 2"x2" tubing extension arms provide a minimum 24" extension from post to backboard face at 10' playing height, with a crank cylinder height adjustment mechanism (minimum 2000# capacity) allowing infinite adjustment from 10' down to 7'. Two springs in the extension assembly reduce effort when raising or lowering the goal, and an easy-to-read label registers rim height.
The backboard is 1/2" thick acrylic with bright white screening in a clear anodized aluminum "L" extrusion frame, measuring approximately 54" wide by 36" high. The flexible, institutional-quality rim has an official 5/8" diameter ring, standard 18" I.D. opening, orange powder coated finish, and heavy-duty nylon net. The complete system weighs about 315# and the pole, backboard, and standard rim are backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
