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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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: 5-9\/16\" diameter Schedule 40 steel gooseneck upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety Offset: 71-inch extension creates a dedicated \"Play Safe\" area under the hoop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackboard: 72\" x 42\" rectangular perforated aluminum (AL-PERF) for wind resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation: In-ground mount requiring a 48-inch burial depth for maximum stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforcement: Dual 1-5\/16\" diameter steel braces for added backboard support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Hardware: UBG-500 Playground Goal with a galvanized finish on the pole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3-year limited warranty on the post, board, and goal; 1-year on the net\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jaypro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48778513613027,"sku":"656-ALP-UG","price":4645.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/8370\/6339\/files\/656-alp-ug-24-875x875x72-white-01.jpg?v=1779302262","url":"https:\/\/joysportstore.com\/products\/jaypro-basketball-system-gooseneck-5-9-16-in-pole-with-6-ft-offset-72-in-perforated-aluminum-backboard-playground-goal","provider":"JoySportStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
