Jaypro Sports 996-ALP-UG Gooseneck Basketball System – Heavy-Duty Perforated Aluminum for High-Traffic Courts

Outdoor basketball courts in public parks and schoolyards face constant use and exposure to the elements, demanding equipment that prioritizes both safety and structural integrity. The Jaypro Sports 996-ALP-UG Gooseneck Basketball System is engineered specifically for these high-traffic environments. At its core is a 4-1/2 inch diameter Schedule 40 steel gooseneck pole, which provides a massive 48-inch offset. This "Play Safe" area creates a significant buffer between the backboard and the upright, reducing the risk of player collisions during aggressive drives to the hoop.

The system features a 72-inch by 42-inch rectangular perforated aluminum backboard. This design choice is intentional; the perforations allow wind to pass through the board, minimizing vibration and stress on the mounting hardware during stormy weather. Paired with the heavy-duty UBG-500 Playground Goal and supported by dual 1-5/16 inch steel braces, the unit offers a rigid, consistent rebound experience. Installation is permanent and secure, with the pole burying 48 inches directly into the ground. While the standard finish is galvanized for maximum corrosion resistance, custom powder coating options are available to match facility aesthetics. This system is a reliable, long-term investment for any community looking to provide a professional-grade playing surface that stands up to the rigors of daily outdoor play.
