Jaypro Gooseneck Basketball System - 72 in. Perforated Steel Backboard & Double Rim Goal
Description
The Jaypro 656-PERF-DR Gooseneck Basketball System is a heavy-duty outdoor installation built for the demands of parks, playgrounds, and schoolyards. Centered around a 5-9/16 in. Schedule 40 steel gooseneck pole with a 6 ft. offset, this system positions the backboard safely away from the upright to create a designated "Play Safe" area around the pole. The 72 x 42 in. rectangular perforated steel backboard is tough enough to handle years of outdoor exposure without warping or deteriorating. A double rim goal adds an extra layer of durability, making it ideal for high-traffic recreational environments where equipment takes a daily beating. The in-ground mount design buries 48 in. below the surface, ensuring a rock-solid foundation that won't shift under aggressive play. Two 1-5/16 in. diameter steel braces provide added support to the rectangular backboard, keeping it firmly in place through every game. This is the kind of institutional-grade basketball system that facilities managers and recreation departments rely on to deliver safe, dependable play year after year.

FAQ
What does "Schedule 40" steel mean and why does it matter?
Schedule 40 refers to the wall thickness of the steel pipe used in the pole. A thicker wall means greater strength and resistance to bending or deformation under load - which is critical for an outdoor basketball system that must withstand wind, heavy use, and physical impact over many years. Schedule 40 is the industry standard for institutional-grade outdoor sports equipment and is a key indicator of long-term durability.
How deep does the pole need to be buried, and do I need concrete?
The pole is designed to be buried 48 inches into the ground. For permanent outdoor installations, setting the pole in concrete is strongly recommended to ensure maximum stability and safety. The exact concrete specifications and footing requirements can be found in the included installation documentation. Always consult a qualified installer or contractor for in-ground work.
Why choose a double rim goal over a single rim?
Double rim goals are built for high-traffic outdoor environments where durability is the top priority. The second rim adds structural reinforcement, making the goal more resistant to bending from hard shots, dunks, or players hanging on the rim. They are the preferred choice for parks, playgrounds, and schoolyards precisely because they hold up to the kind of aggressive daily use that would quickly wear out a standard single-rim goal.
Can the pole finish be customized?
Yes - while the standard finish is galvanized steel, powder coat color options are available. Contact us at service@omahasportsandgames.com to discuss available powder coat colors and any potential lead time or pricing differences for custom finishes.
What is the "Play Safe" area and why is it important?
The "Play Safe" area refers to the 71-inch offset created by the gooseneck arm, which positions the backboard well away from the support pole. This design keeps players clear of the pole during active play - particularly during drives to the basket and rebounding - significantly reducing the risk of collision injuries. It is a key safety feature that distinguishes gooseneck systems from straight-pole designs.
