When it comes to durable outdoor basketball systems, the heavy duty shire basketball tower with aluminium mesh backboard stands out as a robust, long-lasting solution. Installed at the Percy Doyle Youth Facility Centre in Duncraig, this tower is built for high-traffic public spaces, offering safety, resilience and top-tier performance.
Bardfield Engineering designed this tower specifically for local councils, schools and recreational areas that demand reliability. Whether it’s a community game or a youth training session, the aluminium mesh backboard ensures minimal wear while maintaining great rebound quality. This is an ideal option for councils looking to reduce maintenance while keeping facilities safe and functional.
Why the aluminium mesh backboard makes all the difference
Unlike traditional acrylic or fibreglass backboards, aluminium mesh backboards are virtually vandal-resistant. They hold up against tough weather, frequent use and potential misuse. For outdoor spaces like Percy Doyle Youth Facility Centre, this design feature is critical. The mesh allows for reduced wind resistance and improved durability, which means fewer replacements and repairs.
The strength of the aluminium mesh also adds an extra layer of safety for young players. It eliminates sharp edges and holds up under pressure, making it a solid investment for long-term use in public spaces.
Built to withstand public use
The Heavy Duty Shire Basketball Tower with Aluminium Mesh Backboard is constructed for all-day use in an unsupervised setting. Galvanised steel posts, anti-rust coatings and secure anchor systems keep everything stable and secure, no matter how intense the game gets. Its design reduces the risk of structural damage from hanging or aggressive play, which is common in community settings.
Installation at the Percy Doyle Youth Facility Centre is a clear example of its effectiveness. This location sees constant foot traffic and activity, and the tower has proven to be a reliable fixture that handles the pressure with ease.
Ideal for councils and community projects
Local governments and facility managers want basketball systems that require minimal upkeep and deliver consistent performance. Bardfield Engineering’s basketball towers meet this demand. The design allows for easy installation, with optional customisation depending on site requirements.
Duncraig is just one of many communities across Australia benefiting from Bardfield’s engineering excellence. These towers are a go-to for councils looking to upgrade their recreational spaces with long-lasting equipment.
