Over the years, the sight of these transparent backstops has become more common as recreation centres, leagues and high schools across Canada and the United States have upgraded their facilities with the very same glass backboards the professionals use. If your facility is in need of an upgrade just beyond the baseline, here are three stellar choices that are competitively priced to stay within your budget. **Competition Glass Backboards** **ARG Conversion Glass Backboard** **![ARG-glass-backboard.jpg](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ARG-glass-backboard.jpg?width=320&name=ARG-glass-backboard.jpg)** This product is best suited for existing facilities that are looking to upgrade from steel backboards to glass backboards.  This system comes complete with a built-in adapter that allows the backboard to easily be changed using standard fan mounting dimensions. **LXP4200 Regulation Glass Backboard** **![LXP4200-glass-backboard.jpg](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LXP4200-glass-backboard.jpg?width=320&name=LXP4200-glass-backboard.jpg)** This model is identical to the ARG model (above) except that it does not include the handy adapter and brackets. Both of these models are constructed using ½” tempered glass and feature a steel frame.  It is this frame that gives these backboards an unbeatable level of strength.  Most aluminum-frame backboards are able to stand up to about 700 pounds of pressure, but a steel frame can handle loads of up to 1,100 pounds of direct force. Both models are available in standard 42” x 72” dimensions, feature 5” x 4” hole spacing and come equipped with a limited lifetime warranty. **Specialty Glass Backboards** **3050RG Auxiliary Glass Backboard** **![3050RG-glass-backboard.jpg](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3050RG-glass-backboard.jpg?width=320&name=3050RG-glass-backboard.jpg)** Specialty glass backboards are customized to suit locations and facilities that cannot always accommodate a 72” backboard.  The 3050RG features all the benefits of a glass backboard, but at a fraction of the size.  Measuring at 42” x 54”, these backboards are the perfect addition to side courts and tight spaces.   [![dealer-page-cta](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/319534/cd07f9aa-306d-4c19-b668-aff8c5f60134.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/319534/cd07f9aa-306d-4c19-b668-aff8c5f60134) Topics: [Basketball Equipment](https://blog.sportsystemscanada.com/blog/topic/basketball-equipment) [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.sportsystemscanada.com%2Fblog%2Fupgrade-to-one-of-our-glass-basketball-backboards%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/linkedin-24x24.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.sportsystemscanada.com%2Fblog%2Fupgrade-to-one-of-our-glass-basketball-backboards%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.sportsystemscanada.com%2Fblog%2Fupgrade-to-one-of-our-glass-basketball-backboards%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.sportsystemscanada.com%2Fblog%2Fupgrade-to-one-of-our-glass-basketball-backboards%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Upgrade%20to%20One%20of%20Our%20Glass%20Basketball%20Backboards) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.sportsystemscanada.com%2Fblog%2Fupgrade-to-one-of-our-glass-basketball-backboards%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.sportsystemscanada.com%2Fblog%2Fupgrade-to-one-of-our-glass-basketball-backboards%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Search for Specific Products or Projects This is a search field with an auto-suggest feature attached. - There are no suggestions because the search field is empty.
