The RuffNeck Fixed Height Basketball Goal offers exceptional durability at a price that meets any budget. The RuffNeck is a "Fixed Height" pole system constructed of 4 1/2" O.D. galvanized schedule 40 tubing. The direct rim mount design allows the rim to be mounted through the backboard and into the post, eliminating backboard stress. The backboard is further supported by two tubular braces fixed to the neck of the post. Our unique "nose-cone" backboard mounting design makes backboard installation simple.
