Outdoor Vertical Basketball System

Description

The Outdoor Vertical Basketball System is a straight-pole outdoor basketball system built for playgrounds, elementary schools, and small recreation courts where a compact footprint is essential. Unlike gooseneck designs, this vertical configuration places the backboard directly above the pole for a simpler, more space-efficient installation.

Specifications:

• Vertical (straight) pole with 4.5″ O.D. galvanized steel construction
• 4-foot safe play area from pole to backboard face
• Cast aluminum fan-shaped backboard with continuous reinforcing ribs
• White powder-coated 54″ x 39″ board with shooter’s target
• Economy goal with nylon net included
• Goal mount centers: 5″ x 5″
• Requires in-ground installation (concrete foundation required)
• Ships via LTL carrier (signature required at delivery)

This outdoor basketball system uses a straight vertical pole rather than a gooseneck extension arm, making it more compact and generally lower in cost. The 4-foot safe play area meets standard playground safety requirements, and the galvanized steel pole resists rust and corrosion without requiring annual maintenance. The cast aluminum backboard is equally weather-resistant, with reinforcing ribs that help it hold up to heavy use over multiple seasons.

For programs that need a larger extension or heavier-duty rim, consider a 4-foot gooseneck system with standard rim or a 5-foot gooseneck system with breakaway rim. This outdoor basketball system is a practical choice for elementary-level courts, church recreation areas, and neighborhood parks where budget and space are the primary considerations.  Delivery is via LTL freight carrier with a signature required at the time of delivery.
