4′ Gooseneck System – Breakaway Rim & Nylon Net

Description

This 4-foot gooseneck breakaway rim basketball system includes a cast aluminum backboard, breakaway rim, and nylon net for a complete outdoor court installation. The breakaway rim basketball system is designed for courts where players are dunking or hanging on the rim — the rim flexes downward under load and snaps back into position, protecting both the rim and the backboard from damage.

Specifications:

• 4-foot extension gooseneck pole with 4.5″ O.D. galvanized steel
• Cast aluminum fan-shaped backboard with continuous reinforcing ribs
• White powder-coated 54″ x 39″ board with shooter’s square
• Breakaway rim with nylon net included
• Goal mount centers: 5″ x 5″
• Goal, backboard, and one-piece post bolt together as a single unit
• Weight: 218 lbs
• Requires in-ground installation (concrete footing)
• Ships via LTL carrier (signature required at delivery)

The breakaway mechanism on this breakaway rim basketball system absorbs the downward force of a dunk or a player hanging on the rim, then returns the rim to its level position. Without this feature, repeated rim contact can bend the rim, crack the backboard, or loosen the mounting hardware over time. For outdoor courts at schools and recreation facilities where athletic players are regularly driving to the basket, the breakaway rim significantly extends the life of the entire system. The 4-foot extension provides a safe play area between the pole and the backboard, which is the standard clearance for elementary-level courts and smaller playground installations. The galvanized steel pole and cast aluminum backboard are both corrosion-resistant and built for permanent outdoor use. For courts that need a larger safe play area, the 5′ Breakaway Rim System offers an additional foot of clearance. For the most budget-friendly option without the breakaway feature, see the 4′ Standard Rim System.
