Product Overview
Jaypro Sports 656-ALP-UG Gooseneck Basketball System with 72-Inch Perforated Aluminum Backboard
Equipping high-traffic outdoor courts in parks, schoolyards, and community centers requires hardware that balances player safety with long-term structural integrity. The Jaypro Sports 656-ALP-UG system is engineered specifically for these demanding environments. At its core is a massive 5-9/16-inch diameter Schedule 40 steel gooseneck pole, which provides a rock-solid foundation for intense recreational play. The standout feature is the 71-inch offset, creating a significant "Play Safe" area that keeps the support post well away from the action under the rim, reducing the risk of player collisions during layups or rebounds.
The system features a 72-inch by 42-inch perforated aluminum backboard. This design choice is intentional; the perforations allow wind to pass through the board, significantly reducing the load on the mounting hardware during storms and high-wind conditions. To ensure the board remains stable and level over years of use, two 1-5/16-inch diameter steel braces provide additional reinforcement. The unit is finished with a galvanized coating for superior weather resistance and includes a heavy-duty UBG-500 playground goal. Designed for permanent installation, the pole buries 48 inches into the ground, ensuring the entire assembly remains stationary and secure regardless of the intensity of the game.
