Description
Overview
The GL Primary Basketball Backboard replaces a worn or broken board on a junior outdoor hoop, or completes a new primary-height installation. At 1.2 m × 800 mm it is the primary size in the GL range. The board is 30 mm Multiboard integral foam PVC with a hard surface finish on both faces, which the supplier describes as waterproof with good UV stability.
It is supplied not pre-drilled, so your installer drills to suit your bracket and hoop. Hoops and nets are listed separately in the backboards range; the Basketball Hoop 20mm Solid is a common pairing.
Key benefits
- Sized for primary players at 1.2 m × 800 mm.
- Handles outdoor courts, rated by the supplier as waterproof with good UV stability.
- Hard surface finish on both sides for a firm rebound.
- Not pre-drilled, so it can be drilled to match your existing fixings.
Who it's for
Primary schools, kindergartens and junior clubs with outdoor hoops set at junior height, and caretakers replacing a damaged board on an existing post. It is a junior board; secondary schools and senior courts need a full-size backboard from the GL range.
Sizing guide
The hoop height guide on this site gives 2.4 m for ages 1–4 and 3.05 m (regulation) for ages 5 and over. Set the board so the hoop lands at the height your players need.
Care, safety and set-up
This backboard is made to order and large, so it may incur additional transport costs and will be freight-quoted. Drill it to suit your bracket and hoop before mounting, and check fixings each term as part of your court inspection.
