Description
Overview
The GL 2 Way Outdoor BB Tower is a heavy duty double tower: one post carrying two international-sized backboards, each overhanging the post by 1.2 m. It is the answer when a site has room for hoops but not for a conventional court, and the same design is in service at council parks around the country. The system carries an Engineering Design Certificate.
All steel-work is hot dip galvanised, from the 100 × 100 mm RHS post and cross arms to the full backboard frames and stays. The backboards are marine bonded plywood, fully painted and finished with regulation line markings. Need four boards on one post? The GL 4 Way Outdoor Tower is the larger option in our outdoor systems range.
Key benefits
- Two playing faces from one footing, so limited sites still get two hoops.
- Stands up to outdoor use with all steel-work hot dip galvanised for corrosion protection.
- Marine bonded plywood backboards, fully painted with regulation line markings.
- Ready to play once installed, with two galvanised Samson non-sprung hoops and nets supplied.
- Permanent or removable: concrete the post in, or use the optional ground sleeve.
Who it's for
This tower suits councils fitting out parks and reserves, and schools or clubs that want extra shooting stations on a shared hard-court area without laying out a full court. It is a permanent steel installation, so allow for a solid, secure footing and a contractor to set the post. For a single hoop rather than a double, the GL Outdoor Senior Basketball Tower – 2.4m is the comparable one-way tower.
Sizing guide
The hoop height guide on this site lists 2.4 m for the 1 to 4 years band and 3.05 m regulation for 5 years and over. The listing does not state the ring height of this tower, so confirm it with our team when you enquire.
Care, safety and set-up
This tower is made to order and manufactured after you order. It is freight-quoted because of its size, so request a quote and we will confirm delivery costs for your site. Some assembly may be required; the post can be concreted in permanently or set in the optional ground sleeve, and either way a solid and secure footing is needed. Ask the team for installation details before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
What comes with the tower?
The galvanised post and cross arms, two international-sized backboards with steel frames and stays, and two galvanised Samson non-sprung hoops with nets.
Can the tower be removed later?
Yes, if you choose the optional ground sleeve at installation. Concreting the post directly into the ground makes it permanent.
Does it arrive assembled?
Some assembly may be required, and the post needs a solid footing in the ground. Our team can talk through what is involved.
How do we get pricing and freight?
Add it to a quote and request a quote. Freight is quoted separately, and funding packages are available for schools and clubs.
