Perforated Steel Board - Playground Goal","description":"\u003ch2\u003eJaypro Sports 996-PERF-UG Gooseneck Basketball System with 72-Inch Perforated Steel Backboard\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutdoor basketball courts in public parks and schoolyards require equipment that can withstand both heavy use and the elements. The Jaypro Sports 996-PERF-UG system is engineered for these high-traffic environments, featuring a robust 4-1\/2 inch diameter Schedule 40 steel gooseneck pole. This upright is designed for permanent in-ground installation, burying 48 inches deep to provide a rock-solid foundation for aggressive play. The 48-inch offset creates a significant \"Play Safe\" area under the rim, reducing the risk of players colliding with the support post during layups or rebounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe system is equipped with a regulation-sized 72-inch by 42-inch perforated steel backboard. This design choice is intentional; the perforations allow wind to pass through the board, reducing structural strain during storms while maintaining a consistent ball response. To ensure the board remains rigid, two 1-5\/16 inch diameter steel braces provide additional reinforcement. Paired with the heavy-duty UBG-500 Playground Goal, this setup delivers professional-level performance in a package built for the rigors of the outdoors. The galvanized finish on the pole provides excellent corrosion resistance, though powder coating options are available for facilities looking for a specific aesthetic. With a total shipping weight of 402 lbs, this system is a substantial, long-term addition to any athletic facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs at a Glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePole Construction: 4-1\/2\" diameter Schedule 40 steel gooseneck with galvanized finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackboard: 72\" x 42\" perforated steel (SR-PERF) for wind resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSafety Offset: 48\" extension from pole to backboard for a dedicated \"Play Safe\" area\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstallation: In-ground mount requires a 48\" burial depth for maximum stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupport Braces: Includes two 1-5\/16\" diameter steel braces for backboard rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded Goal: Heavy-duty UBG-500 Playground Goal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3-year limited warranty on post, board, and goal; 1-year on net\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jaypro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48797442441443,"sku":"996-PERF-UG","price":3288.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/8370\/6339\/files\/996-perf-ug-24-875x875x72-white-01.jpg?v=1779302052","url":"https:\/\/joysportstore.com\/products\/jaypro-basketball-system-gooseneck-4-1-2-in-pole-with-4-ft-offset-72-in-perforated-steel-board-playground-goal","provider":"JoySportStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
