Choosing the right backboard material


Acrylic
	Provides clean look of glass without the expense. Thicker acrylic equals better play. Heavier framing around board (aluminum or steel) improves rebounding characteristics. The next best alternative to glass backboards. Indoor/outdoor use.
Steel
	A durable choice, especially for outdoor and side courts. Excellent longevity and strength. Does not have the same playability and rebounding capabilities as other materials. Indoor/outdoor use.
Aluminum
	Tough, rustproof, and lightest in weight. Does not have the true playability of other material options. A good choice for recreational play. Indoor/outdoor use.
Glass
	The choice for all high school, college, and pro competition. Superior performer for rebounding and durability. Approximately four times as heavy as acrylic. Mass and material dissipates nearly all vibrations. Indoor/outdoor use.


Rectangular
	Official 72"W x 42"H or 72"W x 48"H sizes. The backboard of choice for high school, college, and pro competition. Provides more room for play and bank shots than fan-shaped backboards.
Fan-Shaped
	A streamline, noncompetition 54"W x 35"-39"H backboard. Often used for side courts and where space is at a premium. Doesn't offer as much space for bank shots as rectangular boards.
