Porter Pro-Strut Conversion Glass Backboard; 72" X 42"

The Porter Pro-Strut Conversion Glass Backboard is the direct-replacement solution for upgrading an old fan-shaped backboard to a regulation 72" x 42" rectangular glass board — with no additional support structure or hardware required. Its two vertical struts mount to existing fan backboard centers, making the conversion straightforward for facilities modernizing older gyms without a full backstop rebuild.

Key features & specs:

• Size: Official 72" x 42" rectangular glass backboard
• Glass: ½" thick fully tempered glass secured to a unitized steel frame with brushed aluminum extrusions
• Conversion: Two vertical struts with fan-shaped mounting centers; all necessary hardware included
• Markings: Official white border and target area fired into the glass
• Goal mount/Warranty: 5" x 4½" or 5" x 5" centers; limited lifetime warranty; GP-205A

Coach's tip: Add backboard padding (sold separately) for player safety — it's strongly recommended on any glass board. Confirm your existing fan mounting centers match before ordering, and have tempered glass installed by qualified crews, since it can't be drilled or modified on site.
