Description
Overview
The GL Reversible BB/NB Tower – Primary is a fixed-height tower built on a 65nb pipe post, with a primary-size basketball backboard on one face and a netball ring fitted to the back of the same post. It is made to order by our local supplier for schools that want one court structure to cover two codes. It sits in our outdoor systems range alongside the single-code basketball towers.
The backboard measures 1200 × 800 mm and projects 600 mm from the post, keeping players clear of the upright under the hoop. The basketball side is supplied with a Samson Non Sprung Hoop and Net. Turning the tower for netball is done through the special ground socket rather than by moving the post.
Key benefits
- Run basketball and netball from one post using the reversible ground socket.
- Primary-size 1200 × 800 mm backboard suits younger players and smaller courts.
- 600 mm projection keeps the post back from play under the hoop.
- Fixed height means no adjustment mechanism to maintain or lock out.
- Supplied with a Samson Non Sprung Hoop and Net, ready to fit.
Who it's for
This tower suits primary schools and junior clubs that share one outdoor court between basketball and netball and do not want two separate posts. Because the backboard is primary size, it is the entry point of the range rather than the choice for older students.
For older players the GL Reversible BB/NB Tower – Intermediate and GL Reversible BB/NB Tower – Senior follow the same reversible layout in their respective sizes. If you only need basketball, look at the GL 4 Way Outdoor Tower or ask our team which unit fits your court.
Sizing guide
Our basketball hoop height guide gives 2.4 m for ages 1–4 and 3.05 m (regulation) for ages 5 and over. This tower is fixed height and the listing does not state its ring height, so confirm it with our team before ordering to match your players.
Care, safety and set-up
This is a made-to-order product manufactured after you order, and as a large outdoor structure it is freight-quoted rather than shipped at a standard rate. Some assembly may be required, and the tower installs into its special ground socket; enquire for details before ordering.
Our reps can request a quote for a full court fit-out and point schools towards funding packages. The product is covered by our 12-month guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Can the same tower be used for both basketball and netball?
Yes. The netball ring is fitted to the back of the post, and the special ground socket lets you reverse the tower so either the backboard or the netball ring faces the court.
What hoop comes with it?
The basketball side is supplied with a Samson Non Sprung Hoop and Net.
Is the height adjustable?
No. This is a fixed-height tower on a 65nb pipe post. Check the ring height with our team before ordering.
Does it arrive assembled?
Some assembly may be required. It is made to order and freight-quoted, so contact us for details on delivery and installation into the ground socket.
