No other basketball hoop can stack up to the DC72E1. Unlike other adjustable goals – which rely on the board and board frame to absorb vertical forces during play – all vertical forces on the Goalrilla DC72E1 are transferred via a DIRECT CONNECTION to a 4" steel beam – completely bypassing the backboard and its frame. The DC72E1's patented rim design is directly anchored to the steel structure of the basketball hoop, allowing it to support over twice as much force as rims that are supported by the glass backboard. The DC72E1 features dual welded board arms -- creating twice the strength of unsupported board arms. Both the upper and lower board arms are supported by, not one, but two reinforcing blocks of steel that significantly reduce goal vibration and increase structural integrity. This basketball hoop includes a basketball pole pad, backboard pad, heavy weight flex rim, and anchor kit. The anchor kit installation is installed in concrete but gives you the option to unbolt the hoop if you need to move homes. Rugged steel is used throughout our basketball hoops, providing the uncompromising strength of a Goalrilla. To protect this steel, our hoops are covered in Powder Coating for ultimate rust and UV protection, maintaining the performance and look of the basketball goal. It's Goalrilla tough – beyond the strength needed for the most brutal play.
