Description
Overview
The GL Reversible BB/NB Tower – Senior is a single outdoor post that serves a basketball court on one side and a netball court on the other. Made to order for Sports Distributors, it is built from heavy duty 100NB hot dipped galvanised round pipe with a 1.2 m overhang, and carries an International size marine bonded ply backboard on a full steel frame with a Samson hoop and net.
On the back of the post sits a heavy duty netball ring. The tower comes complete with a special ground socket that lets the post be lifted and reversed, so the same footprint gives you a basketball goal one term and a netball goal the next. It is the senior model in the range; see our outdoor systems category for other heights and layouts.
Key benefits
- Cover two sports with one socket: reverse the post for basketball or netball.
- Stand up to outdoor courts with a hot dipped galvanised 100NB steel post.
- Keep players clear of the post with a 1.2 m backboard overhang.
- Play on an International size backboard, marine bonded ply on a full steel frame.
- Fitted with a Samson hoop and net, plus a heavy duty netball ring on the rear.
- Supplied with the ground socket, so installation planning starts with one component.
Who it's for
This senior tower suits secondary schools, clubs and community courts that want full-height basketball and netball on the same outdoor court. The store's hoop height guide gives 3.05 m as the regulation ring height for players aged 5 and over, and 2.4 m for ages 1 to 4; confirm the ring height of this model when you enquire.
For younger players or lower courts, look at the GL Reversible BB/NB Tower – Intermediate or the GL Reversible BB/NB Tower – Primary, which share the reversible design.
Care, safety and set-up
This tower is manufactured after you place the order, and as a large item it is freight-quoted rather than shipped at a flat rate. Some assembly may be required; the listing asks you to enquire for details, and our reps can talk through the ground socket installation before you order.
Footing depth, concrete and net replacement are not covered in the listing, so raise these when you request a quote.
