Gooseneck Post

Outdoor sports equipment takes a lot of punishment, from the inevitable wear and tear of the game itself to the weather conditions it has to endure. One threat to the equipment is corrosion. Corrosion is destructive to the steel components and can render the equipment unsafe or unusable. Galvanizing steel components will help to keep outdoor sports equipment safe and reliable with little maintenance.

Painting or powder coating alone can result in only a few seasons of enjoyment on outdoor sports equipment. Galvanizing or using duplex coatings on outdoor equipment gives longevity and protection from both harsh winters and humid summers. Most importantly, galvanizing provides safety and reliability to the equipment for decades. Whether it's for basketball or football, Gared Performance Sports Systems has made a great choice offering both galvanized and duplex options. Gared utilizes the gooseneck posts for the basketball hoops and football goalposts. Since 1922, Gared Performance Sports Systems has worked to provide a place for legacies to be created. Providing gymnasium solutions, residential, parks & recreation equipment and amenities, Gared Performance Sports Systems is more than just sports equipment. They ensure that safety is paramount on their equipment packages. Duplex coatings are offered in addition to galvanized options to give even more longevity and visibility on the field. Fear not kickers, white or yellow powder coating over the galvanized post provides the toughest finish for high schools, colleges, and recreational usage. The constant maintenance required for equipment that is only painted or powder coated can become costly and time consuming. Galvanizing provides a lower maintenance solution and gives the powder coating additional life when paired with the corrosion protection from zinc. The galvanizing and duplex options are ideal for urban areas that have limited maintenance resources and need cost-effective solutions that last. Gared Performance Sports Systems has worked with their local galvanizer for the best outcome to properly vent and drain the gooseneck post during the galvanizing process. The size and shape of these posts create an unusual material handling and processing challenge. The post being tubular and an uneven load make venting and draining necessary and difficult. The local galvanizer adds and fills necessary holes needed to safely submerge into the molten zinc. From public parks, school playgrounds, recreation centers, apartment complexes, residential, or competitive outdoor courts, Gared Performance Sports Systems offer solutions for basketball and football packages. Outdoor sports equipment is in every city in every state, continent to continent, and galvanizing should be the choice every time. Providing lasting enjoyment and safety for many years to come, galvanizing scores every time.
