The Jaypro SPA4-ALP-UG is a heavy-duty outdoor basketball system built around a 4-1\/2 inch diameter straight steel post. This galvanized steel foundation provides the necessary stability to withstand aggressive play and harsh weather conditions. A key safety feature is the 48-inch offset, which creates a \"Play Safe\" area by extending the backboard four feet away from the pole. This distance significantly reduces the risk of player-to-post collisions during fast-paced layups or rebounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe system includes a 72-inch by 42-inch rectangular perforated aluminum backboard. The perforated design is particularly effective in high-wind areas, as it allows air to pass through the board, reducing strain on the mounting hardware and post. For added rigidity, the backboard is supported by two 1-5\/16 inch diameter steel braces. Installation involves a deep 48-inch in-ground bury, ensuring the unit remains upright and secure. Notably, the design allows for height adjustments even after court resurfacing, providing flexibility for facility maintenance. Paired with the UBG-500 playground goal, this system is a reliable fixture for any community sports environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs at a Glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePost Construction: 4-1\/2\" diameter straight steel post with galvanized finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackboard: 72\" x 42\" rectangular perforated aluminum (AL-PERF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSafety Offset: 48\" extension from post to backboard for a dedicated \"Play Safe\" area\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstallation: In-ground mount requiring a 48\" bury depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupport Hardware: Includes two 1-5\/16\" diameter steel braces for backboard stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGoal System: UBG-500 Playground Goal included\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":48775394492643,"sku":"SPA4-ALP-UG","price":3313.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/8370\/6339\/files\/spa4-alp-ug-24-875x875x72-white-01.jpg?v=1779302633","url":"https:\/\/joysportstore.com\/products\/jaypro-spa4-alp-ug-basketball-system-straight-post-4-1-2-in-pole-with-4-ft-offset-72-in-perforated-aluminum-backboard-playground-goal","provider":"JoySportStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
