When choosing a backboard not constructed with glass, understanding the inherent characteristics of the material will ensure you are picking the correct backboard for your play environment.

GARED’s steel line of backboards are ideal for unsupervised and urban play environments. Steel provides an unwielding foundation for your outdoor system. Although the rebound effect of steel is the least similar to glass, the sturdiness of the material will stand up to the toughest competition. Our line of steel backboards features every standard size.
