Porter Pro-Strut Conversion Glass Backboard

Description

The Porter Pro-Strut Conversion Glass Backboard takes your basketball system to the next level with minimal effort. Unlike other replacement backboards that require additional support structures, this backboard is designed to fit directly onto fan-shaped backboard mounting centers. That means you can easily swap out your old board for a pro-level glass upgrade—without hiring an engineering team.

Built for Durability and Superior Play

• Official Size: At 72” x 42”, this backboard meets regulation size for serious competition.
• High-Performance Glass: The ½-inch thick fully tempered glass ensures durability and a consistent rebound, just like the boards used in professional and collegiate play.
• Strong and Stable Frame: A unitized steel frame with brushed aluminum extrusions secures the glass and provides a sleek, polished look.
• Fired-In White Border & Target Area: The official white border and shooting target are permanently fired into the glass for lasting visibility—no fading or peeling over time.

Easy Installation – No Extra Hardware Required

Unlike many conversion backboards that need extra reinforcement, the Pro-Strut design includes two vertical struts that match standard fan-shaped mounting centers. This means you can replace your existing fan-shaped backboard with minimal hassle. All necessary mounting hardware is included, so you can get back on the court faster.

Safety & Longevity

• Limited Lifetime Warranty: This backboard is built to last, and the manufacturer stands behind its quality.
• Backboard Padding Recommended: While padding is not included, it’s highly recommended to enhance player safety—especially for aggressive play.

Perfect For:

✅ School and community gyms looking for an affordable way to upgrade to a regulation glass backboard.
✅ Recreation centers that need a durable and reliable backboard for high-traffic use.
