Description
Overview
The GL Reversible BB/NB Tower – Intermediate is an outdoor system built on 80nb pipe, with a fixed-height post that carries a basketball backboard on one side and a netball ring on the other. The backboard measures 1200 × 800 mm and projects 1200 mm from the post, keeping players clear of the pole under the hoop. It is supplied with a Samson hoop and net.
What sets it apart from a single-code tower is the special ground socket. Drop the post in one way for basketball, lift and turn it for netball, and one socket serves both codes. It sits between the primary and senior models in our outdoor systems range and is made to order by Gym Leader.
Key benefits
- Two sports from one post: basketball backboard on the front, netball ring on the back.
- Reversible ground socket lets you switch codes without a second installation.
- 1200 mm projection keeps the hoop well clear of the post.
- Ready to play, with a Samson hoop and net supplied.
- Fixed-height 80nb pipe post for a permanent outdoor court.
Who it's for
Best for intermediate schools and clubs with a shared asphalt court where basketball and netball compete for space. One socket and one tower do the job of two fixed posts, which helps when court space or budget is tight. Choose the GL Reversible BB/NB Tower – Primary for younger year groups or the GL Reversible BB/NB Tower – Senior where full-height play is the priority.
Because it is a fixed-height unit, check the height your students play at before ordering. The hoop height guide below is a starting point; ask our team if you are unsure which model matches your school.
Sizing guide
Our basketball hoop height guide lists 2.4 m for ages 1-4 and 3.05 m (regulation) for ages 5 and over. The listing does not state the set ring height of this intermediate model, so confirm it with our team before ordering.
Care, safety and set-up
Some assembly may be required; enquire for details before delivery day. This is a made-to-order item, manufactured after you order, and as a large item it is freight-quoted rather than shipped at a standard rate.
The ground socket needs to be installed before the tower can go in, so plan court works alongside the order. Covered by our 12-month guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Can it be used for basketball and netball at the same time?
No. The tower is reversed in its ground socket to face either the basketball backboard or the netball ring, so you play one code at a time.
What is included?
The 80nb pipe post, the 1200 × 800 mm backboard, a Samson hoop and net, the netball ring fitted to the back of the post, and the reversible ground socket.
