Spalding 44 Inch Polycarbonate Portable Basketball Hoop System

Pick up in the driveway, drill the team before the big game, or hold a tournament. Anywhere and anytime, the Spalding 44 Inch Polycarbonate Portable Basketball Hoop System is ready to go. This ultra-durable portable hoop system gives you the convenience of a temporary set-up, with total stability and easy assembly. Great for use in gymnasiums, backyards, or driveways, it features a 3-inch round heavy-gauge steel pole, made from three sections for easier handling. The sections fit together and create a stable support for the 44-inch wide polycarbonate backboard. Polycarbonate is a great material for backboards because it has the look of professional glass, but without the weight (or the price). It also gives better rebound action than plastic does. The backboard is supported by a steel frame and fitted with a steel breakaway Pro Slam flex rim, complete with white nylon all-weather net.

This goal system is fully adjustable: the easy-to-operate ExactaHeight lift system lets you change the height of the playing surface from 7.5 feet to 10 feet in 6-inch increments to accommodate players of all heights and skill levels.

All metal elements are powder-coated to protect against rust and weathering, and are designed to withstand the outdoor elements. The included 37.5-gallon base fills with sand or water (not included) to create total stability; just empty it when it's time to move the goal or put it into storage.

Additional Specifications

• Front pole cover acts as a rebounder during play
• Pole sits at 20-degree angle from base
• 14-inch offset (distance from playing surface to pole)
• 50-inch steel board pad along bottom of backboard for extra stability
• 5-year limited manufacturer's warranty
