All Weather Douglas® F4™ 445 MAX Basketball System

Description

The Douglas® F4™ Basketball System is a smaller version of the F5 fixed series. It offers a four-foot extension arm and an adequate safe-play area that minimizes potential contact with the extension mount. The F4 system features an easy-to-install design that is an in-ground direct bury. It’s ideal for institutional applications such as neighborhood parks, municipalities, and school playgrounds.

Clearview 42″ x 60″ Backboard Our durable Polycarbonate backboard has an aluminum perimeter frame supported by a welded steel back frame. Polycarbonate is a clear material that is virtually unbreakable. This combination allows for a very rigid playing experience. Unlike traditional “H Frame” backboard supports, the reinforced galvanized steel extension arms attach directly to the perimeter frame, allowing for the preferred, professional “clear view” appearance. Our polycarbonate board is 42” x 60” and is a full ½” thick. Plus, we’ve pre-installed black, one-inch thick molded vinyl backboard padding to give you the best playing experience.

Pressure Flex Breakaway Goal The stress of heavy, unsupervised play and aggressive dunks are no match for Douglas® Basketball Systems’ durability and performance. Constructed of robust steel with a CSPC-compliant powder-coat finish and featuring a 5/8” thick, 18” steel rim and a double spring pressure flex breakaway mechanism, our recreational breakaway goal attaches to the backboard and directly to the extension arm. The rim has a unique hidden net attachment style with hooks along the inside of the hoop; our pressure breakaway goal will withstand the weight of even the most aggressive slam dunks.

4′ Fixed Extension Arm The Douglas® F4™ fixed extension arm overhangs 4’, providing stability, strength, and adequate room for lay-ups and competitive play. The unique extension mount is angled out of the play area, minimizing potential contact. The corrosion-resistant 4” x 4” reinforced extension arm attaches to the base of the backboard and to the outer perimeter of the frame, allowing for the preferred “clear view” style. The upper brace arms are adjustable and provide additional stability.

Structured Steel Pole Constructed from 4” square structural steel with a 3/16” wall thickness, the Douglas® F4™ System is built to handle the toughest conditions. The steel pole is finished in an attractive black acrylic powder coat to prevent chipping, rusting, and corrosion in virtually any environment from coast to coast.

Simple Installation Process The F4 system features a simple, easy-to-install design that is an in-ground direct bury. The pole is 14’ in length, allowing for a structurally sound 4’ deep concrete footing, providing a safe and steady base you can trust. The straightforward design minimizes installation time and effort, getting your system up and running quickly.

All Weather, All Season Protection Blazing summers, drizzly springs, and icy winters are no match for the ultimate weather protection of our Douglas® Basketball Systems. All steel has a black, baked-on powder coat finish, providing ultimate weather resistance and protection.  All the fastening hardware is made from stainless steel to ensure your system maintains its structural integrity.
