Product Description
The Side Fold Wall Mount Basketball Goal is ideal for gyms where the goal must be within 12 feet of the wall. This versatile unit works for all levels of play. In fact, it meets NBA, NCAA, FIBA, NFHS, and IBL requirements for competitive use.
The Face of Bank on this system ranges from 4 to 12 feet from the wall. (This is the distance between the wall and the front face of the backboard.)
What’s Included
This Side Fold Wall Mount Basketball Goal package includes the following essential components:
- 72” x 42” glass backboard
- Collegiate breakaway rim
- Backboard pads
- Backstop
- Optional height adjuster
Glass Backboard with Aluminum Frame
The AFRG42 is the strongest aluminum-framed glass backboard available. It withstands up to 900 pounds of force. As a result, it works with wall mount backstops, ceiling-suspended backstops, and portable arena goals used in NBA facilities.
Glass Backboard with Steel Frame
For even more strength, the LXP4200 glass backboard by Gared Sports withstands 1,100 pounds of force. Furthermore, this backboard is compatible with various backstop systems, including portable NBA-style goals.
Collegiate Breakaway Rim
The 2000+ breakaway rim has been installed in more facilities than any other model. Additionally, it meets or exceeds all major standards, including NCAA and AAU. This rim flexes at 140 pounds of dynamic force, but you can adjust the spring tension as needed.
Backboard Pads
PMCE Pro-Mold backboard pads come in 16 standard colors. Each pad includes pre-drilled bolt holes for easy installation on both LXP4200 and AFRG42 backboards.
Backstop
The backstop connects the backboard to the wall or ceiling, depending on your setup. It’s available in five telescoping sizes, making it easy to select the proper Face of Bank. In other words, you can set the backboard at the perfect distance from the wall.
Backstop Color
By default, Gared Sports provides the backstop in black. However, you may choose from seven other powder-coated colors. Custom colors are available for an additional fee. Typically, black units ship within a few days. Other colors may add 1 to 2 weeks to delivery time.
Optional Height Adjuster
The height adjuster lowers the rim height down to 8 feet. You can operate it either manually with a shepherd’s hook or via electric motor. Because it adds about 10 inches of space between the backstop and the backboard, you’ll need to account for this when choosing your backstop size.
For example, if your Face of Bank is 6’5” and you plan to include a height adjuster, then the 4’ to 6’ backstop option is ideal. This accounts for the extra 10 inches added by the adjuster. Please note that the height adjuster is only available in black.
Installation
This is a heavy-duty commercial basketball goal. Therefore, only experienced installers should handle it. Typically, two strong individuals and a scissor lift are needed. Alternatively, scaffolding can also work. Although we provide reliable equipment, South Texas Sport Court Flooring and Gared Sports accept no liability for injury or damage caused by improper installation.
