Porter Wood Backboard Pad; 72"

The Porter Wood Backboard Pad wraps the bottom edge of a 72" backboard in tough, molded foam to protect players from dangerous contact during aggressive play under the basket. Meeting the safety expectations of competitive gyms, it's a must-have upgrade for any facility prioritizing player protection on rectangular backboards.

Key features & specs:

• Size: Pads one 72" backboard
• Material: Molded self-skinning urethane foam with a tough exterior skin
• Design: Two self-aligning pad sections with interlocking joints for a clean, gap-free fit
• Installation: Bolt-on mounting using steel inserts and sheet-metal screws
• Use/Color: Indoor use only; available in gray; model GP-00324072

Coach's tip: Confirm your backboard is 72" wide and check pad-mounting compatibility before ordering. Install with the interlocking joints fully seated for a continuous protective surface, and inspect the foam each season — replace it promptly if the skin tears to keep the padding effective.
