Q: Can I get this without the pole I already have a pole ?

Asked by: Mike - 4/14/2019

A: Unfortunately, no. You can purchase backboard and rim combos and bracket separately, but not this exact set. You might consider model 73729 for the backboard and brackets model 1044. They meant to 3.5 inch round pole.

Q: what is the ht of this system?

Asked by: Dorothy Hampton - 3/28/2017

A: This basketball system adjusts from 7.5’ to 10’ in 6” increments. That measurement is from the rim to the ground. The backboard is 30” tall, so extended to the full 10’ it would be approximately 12’ 8” tall. at the lowest setting of 7.5’ it would be 10’ tall.
