I got a used basketball backboard but handling it made my hands and ams itchy. Is it safe? Can it be sealed?
I assume that sun and rain have degraded the fiberglass surface and it is now shedding tiny shards. I do not want my son showered with these fiberglass bits each time the ball hits the backboard. I don’t want anyone inhaling them or getting them on their skin, hair, clothes, etc. I’m wondering whether some kind of liquid acrylic sealant could be sprayed or brushed onto the surface of the backboard. Or should it be discarded?
yup, clear spray ppaint would do the trick, the only thing is DO NOT handle the board with out protection, I only got a bit of fiberglass in my eye, and costed me about 5k to get rid of it. make sure you have a mask, goggles, gloves and have cover all your body surfaces.
what can i do to fix cracked plexiglass in a basketball backboard?
Is there some sort of product that fixes cracks that would do this job?
On the backside of the backboard I would put hardware cloth cut in a strip over the crack. Make sure it is wide enough to over lap the crack at least an inch on each side. Use two part epoxy to completely cover the hardware cloth. When it dries it will act as reinforcement. In the front I would gouge the crack so that it forms a slight “V”. I would fill the “V” with epoxy. In order to increase the holding power of the epoxy, I would rough up any plexiglass surface that will have epoxy on it with sandpaper. I would also make sure that all the surfaces are dry and clean, rubbing alcohol works well for this. Good Luck!!
How do I fix my wooden basketball backboard?
It’s a neighborhood goal, it appears someone was hanging on the rim and the bolts were stripped from the metal bracket thing at the top of the actual backboard (not the rim). Since it appears to be stripped i don’t think buying new bolts would fix it. Right now the whole backboard slants downward and is completely useless. http://www.goal-posts.net/media/bas… (example, top part of the backboard) Any easy fixes?
You may have to replace the backboard and/or the metal bracket frame. If the bracket is bent, you can check around the neighborhood and the newspaper to see if someone is selling an old one at a good price, or check with the local junkyards. Replacing the wooden backboard may help, but if the bracket is bent, replacing it seems like your best bet.
how should i keep a crack in my fiberglass basketball backboard from cracking further?
Add a fiberglass patch to the back side. You can get it at home depot.
What should I get to replace a shattered basketball backboard and broken rim?
My backboard has many holes in it and I am no longer able to use it. The rim is also broken and I was wondering how I could purchase just a backboard and rim and net? I would also like to know how I would know which one to get and if it would fit because I do not want to replace the pole that is cemented underground.
how about a new net? lol or shhhh! not so loud, try a new backboard and rim, dont tell any1 i told u keep it a secret, no1 would be able to figure that out
what the normal size for a basketball backboard?
because i want to install a basketball backboard net so how high does it have to be for 13 yr old
An official high school or college backboard measures 42" x 72". Any of our hoops that are in 300 series (P306A, P305A, P305S) have a 42" x 72" size backboard. Our other goals smaller backboards.
