Description
Overview
The GL 4 Way Outdoor Tower mounts four basketball backboards on one central post, each facing a different direction. It is the answer when a school or club has the players but not the room for a conventional court layout, or wants four shooting stations in a compact area.
It is the heaviest-duty option in our outdoor systems range. The post and cross arms are heavy duty RHS steel, hot dip galvanised, and the design carries an Engineering Design Certificate. Each international-sized backboard has its own full steel frame and stays and overhangs the post by 1.2 m.
Key benefits
- Four hoops in the footprint of one post, where court space is tight.
- Each backboard overhangs the post by 1.2 m.
- Hot dip galvanised steelwork for corrosion protection outdoors.
- Marine bonded plywood backboards, fully painted with regulation line markings.
- Supplied complete with four galvanised Samson non-sprung hoops and nets.
Who it's for
Schools with a courtyard or a corner of hard surface rather than a full court, and clubs or community facilities that want several groups shooting at once. The size guide lists 3.05 m as regulation ring height for 5+yrs and 2.4 m for younger children; the listing does not state which height this tower is built to, so confirm with our team.
If you only need one hoop, the GL Outdoor Senior Basketball Tower – 2.4m or the GL Outdoor Senior Basketball Tower – 1.2m are single-backboard towers from the same supplier.
Care, safety and set-up
The post can be concreted permanently into the ground or set into the optional ground sleeve so the tower can be removed. Either way the listing calls for a solid and secure footing, so involve a contractor in the installation. Some assembly is required.
This tower is made to order and freight is quoted separately because of its size. Use request a quote to arrange the tower, footing advice and delivery to your site.
Frequently asked questions
How many backboards and hoops come with it?
Four of each: international-sized backboards with steel frames and stays, plus four galvanised Samson non-sprung hoops and nets.
Can it be removed later?
Yes, if installed with the optional ground sleeve rather than concreted in. A secure footing is still required.
Does it arrive assembled?
No. Some assembly is required on site, and the footing needs to be prepared before the post goes in.
How is it delivered?
It is manufactured after you order and shipped on a freight quote. Our team confirms delivery arrangements when you ask for a quote.
