The Porter 1835 Manual Portable Backstop sets the standard for what a competition portable basketball system should be. Engineered to eliminate every frustration previously associated with portable backstops — difficult positioning, unstable anchoring, and fragile backboard mounts — the 1835 delivers a setup experience and play performance that rivals permanently installed systems. The 8' boom extension provides proper court overhang for regulation play, while the manual spring-assisted lift keeps operation fast and straightforward for facility staff.

• Exclusive Self-Docking Tray Anchor System – Porter's patented self-docking tray anchor (Patent No. 10,238,944) allows the backstop to slide perfectly into a secured game position with zero alignment guesswork — drop-in locator pins provide additional control and confirmation that the unit is locked and competition-ready every time

• 4" Thick Integrated Front Padding – Meticulously crafted protective padding integrates cleanly around the base and stanchion of the portable, providing player safety coverage that meets competition safety standards while maintaining a professional facility appearance

Upgrade to a premium, pro-quality net with the Champro Brute Anti-Whip Braided Nylon Net. Engineered to reduce net whip, it keeps the ball moving smoothly and consistently through the rim instead of snagging or flaring out — a noticeable difference in feel and appearance. Heavy-duty 220-gram braided nylon with a thick 4 mm diameter resists stretching, fraying, and weather, making this the choice for programs that want a net that looks and plays like the ones on TV.

Key features & specs:

• Engineered to reduce net whip for smoother, more consistent ball movement
• Heavy-duty 220g braided nylon with a 4 mm diameter for superior strength
• Brute-grade premium nylon resists stretching, fraying, and weather exposure

• SKU: CS-NG07

Coach's tip: Put these on your main game courts — the heavier anti-whip design holds its shape and looks sharp on film and in photos, a step up from a standard 50g net. Care: The thicker nylon resists weather well, but check the loops periodically on outdoor rims and confirm the net hangs evenly for the cleanest look.

Coach's tip: Great for holiday tournaments, senior nights, and community events where you want the court to look festive — swap it in for the occasion, then back to white for regular play. Care: Check the loops for fraying periodically, and replace when the net thins out so it keeps giving a clear read on made shots.

Give your outdoor hoops a durable, weatherproof finish with the Steel Chain Net. Nylon nets wear out fast on exposed playground and park rims — this rust-proof nickel-plated steel chain net stands up to sun, rain, and heavy use season after season.

Care: Check the attachment hooks periodically to make sure they're secure, and inspect for any bent links that could catch the ball over time.
