Product Overview

In short

The Gared 6284 Custom Base Adapter lets a facility upgrade its volleyball system without replacing existing floor sleeves. It is a steel adapter with a 3-1/2" total diameter, custom-designed to retrofit virtually any floor sleeve, so you specify the diameter and depth of your sleeve when ordering. It weighs 9 lbs and ships UPS.

✓ Authorized Gared Dealer — ships brand-new with full manufacturer warranty & support

When a gym upgrades its volleyball system, the new uprights rarely match the floor sleeves already installed. The Gared 6284 Custom Base Adapter bridges that gap so the existing sleeves can stay in place, avoiding the cost and downtime of cutting new sleeves into the floor.

The 6284 is a steel adapter with a 3-1/2" total diameter. It is custom-designed to retrofit virtually any floor sleeve, which is why the diameter and depth of your existing sleeve must be specified at the time of order.

This is an accessory rather than a complete volleyball system. It is made in the US, ships UPS at 9 lbs, and is covered by Gared's one year limited warranty against defects in material or factory workmanship.
