Gared Pro Jam Basketball System

Unlike traditional systems that require you to set the pole directly into wet concrete, the bolt-to-ground method uses a mounting plate system. This allows you to level the pole perfectly after the concrete has cured, ensuring your hoop is plumb and stable without the stress of trying to hold it straight while the concrete sets.

Yes, the acrylic backboard is designed specifically for outdoor use and is weather-resistant. It provides a professional-grade rebound that mimics glass but offers superior impact resistance against the elements and stray balls.

The integrated actuator mechanism is designed for smooth, controlled adjustments, making it relatively easy to operate. While it is simple to use, younger children may still need adult assistance to adjust the hoop to the full 10-foot regulation height.

The powder-coated finish is highly durable and resistant to rust, so it requires very little maintenance. We recommend occasionally wiping it down with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris, and checking the bolts annually to ensure they remain tight.

Yes, the breakaway rim is engineered to flex under pressure, which helps absorb the impact of dunks and aggressive play. This feature protects both the backboard and the player by reducing the stress placed on the system during contact.

Given the 42 x 72-inch backboard and the 6 x 6-inch pole, you will want to ensure you have a significant, level area on your driveway or court. We recommend verifying your local zoning laws and ensuring you have enough clearance for the overhang before beginning the installation.
