The Vector Nitro-BP features a heavy-duty steel construction with a 4" square vertical pole (11-gauge wall thickness) and a 3/8" thick baseplate reinforced with 4 support gussets for secure in-ground installation. The adjustable extension arms are constructed from dual 2" x 2" tubing and extend a minimum of 32" from the front of the post to the backboard face at standard 10' playing height.

Height adjustment is infinitely variable from 10' down to 7' via a front-mounted crank with a 2000# minimum capacity rating. Two springs mounted in the extension assembly reduce adjustment effort, and the removable crank handle prevents unwanted height changes. The rim mounts directly to the extension arm through the backboard, reducing stress on the backboard structure.

The backboard is constructed of 1/4" thick clear tempered glass measuring approximately 60" wide by 36" high, with a clear anodized aluminum frame and bright white ceramic markings. The institutional-quality rim features an official 5/8" diameter ring with an 18" I.D. opening, orange powder coat finish, and includes a heavy-duty nylon net. The complete system weighs approximately 372 pounds and carries a Lifetime Limited Warranty on the pole, backboard, and standard rim.
