The 42" x 60" rectangular heavy gauge steel backboard has a powder coated finish with orange shooter's square and edges that are safety rolled to eliminate all sharp edges. The goal is so durable that it is the first and only goal with an unconditional lifetime warranty. Unlike other basketball systems, this system only costs the first time you buy it! 500 pounds.
