The RuffNeck Flight-EXT Basketball System features a vertical pole constructed of 4 ½" O.D. RS40 zinc flow coated steel tubing with a 7 ga. wall thickness, designed for a 48" ground bury. This design allows for a 60" setback from the post to the backboard. Two 1" round galvanized tubular braces support the top corners of the backboard and connect directly to the pole, ensuring the rim mounts directly through the backboard into the horizontal extension to eliminate backboard stress.

The system includes a 39"x 54" fan-shaped fiberglass backboard, 1 5/8" thick. The backboard is constructed with front and back fiberglass composite laminates and a solid inner core of high strength honeycomb composite, marked with a gel-coat 2" border and an official shooters square. The standard rim is fabricated from 3/16" back and side plates, double 5/8" diameter high strength steel welded together at a minimum of six places, and is powder coated orange. A nylon net is included and attaches via a continuous net-locking system made of 3/16"x 1" steel with punched slots.

The entire RuffNeck Flight-EXT system weighs approximately 240#. It is backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty covering the pole, backboard, and standard rim.
