Draper EZ Fold®
Basketball Backstops
The First & Finest Basketball
Backstops...Since 1955
• first to design the single-stem, all-welded mainframe;
• first to use high-strength steel mechanical tubing instead of heavy pipe;
• The only one to offer a 25-year warranty. No other manufacturer
offers you this protection.
This tradition of innovation has continued for over 50 years, and today
EZ Fold is the highest quality backstop on the market.
For more information on EZ Fold, go to:
www.draperinc.com/go/WhyEZFold.htm.
Draper offers three directions to fold the backstop—forward, back or
to the side—giving you a ° choice of which way to take the backstop
up and out of play. Available space and design of the facility usually
dictates the choice between a front, rear, or side-braced backstop.
For ceiling heights of  or less, Draper EZ Fold Basketball
Backstops are made with an all-welded “T” Frame. “B” after a model
number denotes bolt-together T-Frame, which includes web braces for
exceptional strength.
• Rear-folding units will clear obstacles like ceiling-mounted score
boards and speakers.
• Forward-folding backstops install close to a fixed wall.
• Side-folding backstops fold to clear walls and other obstructions.
• Rear-braced units have more clear space above backboard.
• Front-braced units position a backboard closer to a wall.
• Bent stem backstops provide greater clearance above the backboard.
They also install with less space between the pivot point and the
jackknife, reducing the likelihood of interference with other ceiling
suspended equipment.
• Stationary backstops are also available.

Draper is one of the few basketball backstop manufacturers that provide a powder coat finish as standard. Draper provides either black or white
finish at no extra charge. White backstops are much more attractive than black backstops when suspended from white or light colored roof support
structures.
Over 160 Colors Available
We Powder Coat—As Our Standard, No Extra Charge

Printed color may vary from actual finish. Color samples available upon request.
Durability—Powder coating provides one of the most durable and
long-lasting finishes available. Powder coated surfaces are more resistant
to chipping, scratching, fading and wearing than other finishes. The du-
rability of powder coat means backstops will arrive on-site with a much
better appearance and virtually eliminates the need for the installer to
touch-up or painting contractor to re-paint the backstops.
Aesthetic—Powder coat produces a better looking finish. With powder
coating, there are no runs, drips or sags. Powder coat’s thicker finish
also provides fewer appearance differences due to the base color of the
material being coated. It is also much easier to control slight shade
variations between manufacturing lots when compared to wet paint
systems.
Economic—Powder coating is a cost saving alternative to liquid paint.
Powder coated backstops completely remove the need to have finish
paint applied and the installation is normally shorter and less expensive
because the material is cleaner and the need for touch up is virtually
eliminated.
Environmental—Powder coating is environmentally responsible. Pow-
der coat does not contribute to air pollution or ozone depletion, because
it does not contain solvents with volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Powder coat releases virtually no VOCs into the atmosphere. Most
powder coat overspray can be 100% recyclable or re-usable, eliminating
waste going to the landfill or being released into the environment.
Show Your Colors!
A wide variety of colors greatly enhances the aesthetics of gymnasium
equipment. Specify the school colors, pick a color to match the gym
décor or choose a white backstop so it virtually disappears when against
white bar joist. With nearly unlimited colors to choose from, Draper
can provide virtually any color scheme. Contact Draper for a full line of
over 160 available colors.

Stronger Overhead—Draper’s
strength starts from the top. We
supply all 4 O.D. 11 gauge overhead
superstructure with all spans greater
than 10 including bridge trussing.
Independent testing shows that a
10span of Draper’s 4overhead tube
deflects up to 33% less than 3 ½tube used by other manufacturers
and 76% less when our standard bridge trussing is added.
NEW! Strength in the Pivot—
Draper’s backstop frame pivots on a
1¼ diameter solid steel shaft welded
into the top of our T-Frame and
secured in our ½ thick steel adjust-
able hanger. Each adjustable hanger
allows for easy and precise leveling
of the backstop and attaches to the
superstructure with four ½, grade 5
bolts.
Draper T-Frame hangers have been
independently tested and found to
support in excess of 25,000 lbs.
Load Safety Factory 57 to 1.
Custom Built for Your
Gymnasium—Draper custom
designs each backstop so the lateral
sway braces intersect the main mast
at approximately 54 above the goal
(18 above the backboard) to ensure
maximum rigidity. Draper does not
use stock assemblies and simply make
them fit your gym.
Calculations indicate that Draper
T-Frames deflect 36% less than compet-
itors’ models with sway braces attached
72 above the goal.
NEW! Beam Clamp—
Draper’s beam clamp provides at
least 7 square inches of beam
flange contact area and are secured
with two all-thread bolts at each
attachment point.
Draper’s beam clamps have been tested
to hold in excess of 25,900 lbs. Load
Safety Factor 94 to 1.

Goal Brace—Draper’s goal brace
connects the goal directly to the T-Frame,
removing stress from the backboard and
transferring it to the support structure. Use
of a goal brace allows Draper to offer a
lifetime warranty on any backboard.
NEW! Upper Bank Hanger—
Draper’s upper bank hanger is designed to
keep the backboard plumb and level even
with the goal removed. Our bank hanger
extends the backboard to the same distance
as our height adjuster allowing for easy addi-
tion of this feature after the
initial installation.
