Description
Overview
The GL Outdoor Senior Basketball Tower – 1.2m is a fixed, in-ground outdoor system built for schools, councils and clubs that need a hoop to survive years of public use. The post is fabricated from 100 × 100 SHS steel and carries a full steel backboard frame with a 1.2 m overhang. All steelwork is hot dipped galvanised for corrosion protection outdoors.
This is a made to order item from our outdoor systems range and is freight-quoted rather than shipped at standard rates. If you need more clearance between post and baseline, the same tower is available as the GL Outdoor Senior Basketball Tower – 1.5m and the GL Outdoor Senior Basketball Tower – 2.4m.
Key benefits
- Stands up to public courts: 100 × 100 SHS steel post with a full steel backboard frame.
- Resists rust outdoors because every steel component is hot dipped galvanised.
- Backboard stays rigid under repeated hangs and dunks thanks to top stays.
- Ready to play: International size marine bonded ply backboard, painted with regulation line markings.
- Ships complete with a galvanised Samson non-sprung hoop and net.
- Removable later if you choose the optional ground sleeve instead of concreting the post in.
Who it's for
Choose this tower for a senior-level outdoor court at a secondary school, community park or club. The design has a proven record with councils, schools and prisons around New Zealand, so it suits courts that get heavy use without supervision. The store's hoop height guide gives 3.05 m as regulation height for players aged five and over; confirm the installed ring height with our team when you order.
For a primary school playground, the GL Outdoor Primary Basketball Tower is the better fit. If you want one post serving several courts, ask about the GL 4 Way Outdoor Tower.
Care, safety and set-up
The post is either concreted permanently into the ground or fitted into the optional ground sleeve, which lets you lift the tower out when the court is needed for something else. Some assembly is required; ask our team for details before installation day.
Because the tower is made to order and is a large item, delivery is quoted separately by freight. Ask about funding packages if a school or club is paying for a court fit-out.
Frequently asked questions
Is the hoop included?
Yes. The tower is supplied with a galvanised Samson non-sprung basketball hoop and a net.
Can we remove the tower later?
Yes, if you order the optional ground sleeve. Concreting the post directly into the ground is permanent.
Which overhang should we choose?
This model has a 1.2 m overhang, the shortest in the senior range. The 1.5 m and 2.4 m versions give more clearance between the post and the baseline.
