Product Description
Spalding 79307 Backboard/Rim Combo - 52 inch Acrylic Backboard: Sports & Outdoors. Not all systems include the necessary hardware, so make certain you add a mounting kit to your list. Portable Systems Portable systems require minimal installation and offer ultimate convenience. Designed to mount to a square pole or wall, this Spalding backboard and rim combo will turn your backyard or driveway into a jump-shooting haven. The backboard/rim combo starts with a 52-inch, 4.5mm acrylic backboard with steel frame. The board offers the same action as glass backboards, helping you shoot layups and bank shots with confidence. The Pro Slam breakaway basketball rim, meanwhile, holds up well against the force of emphatic slams--a must for modern hoops. Other features include a white all-weather net, a 2-7/8-by-2-1/2-inch rim hole pattern, and a total weight of 40 pounds. The board is compatible with the following mounting brackets (sold separately): the Spalding 920312 extension arm and bracket for 4-inch square basketball poles or the Spalding 316 U-Turn adjustable extension arm and bracket for square basketball poles. The backboard carries a five-year warranty while the rim is backed by a one-year warranty.

Amazon.com Basketball System Buying Guide With the high-quality construction of many portable basketball systems, turning your driveway into a basketball court can be as simple as hooking up your garden hose. But while a portable system may ultimately be your best choice, there are reasons you may want to consider an in-ground or wall-mount system before you decide. In-Ground Systems In-ground systems are permanently cemented into the ground--either via a bolt mounting kit or directly into the ground--and are generally more rigid and take up less space than portables. In-ground systems often require that you hire a professional to complete the task, but when the cement dries you'll have a hoop that can take punishing dunks with ease. Many in-ground systems are height-adjustable, include removable post features that let you take the system down for off-season storage, and feature heavy-duty break-away rims. You'll also want to research the adjustable mechanisms on the systems, as there are several types to choose from. Some feature a counter-balance spring that lets you perform easy, one-hand adjustments while others may feature a sturdy, pneumatic system. Wall-Mount Systems Wall-mount systems can be mounted to the side of a house, a tall retaining wall, or a garage. Generally sturdier than portables, wall-mounts have the added advantage of optimizing your existing ground space for the court, since you won't take any space up with the base or pole. These systems generally feature a base that can be filled with sand or water to stabilize them and include wheels for portability.
