X-ray translucent between the handholds—we guarantee it! This 1-3/4" backboard features a new, thinner, tapered board with angled edges. It is designed to meet the needs of all storage situations. Lightweight and rigid, the backboard weighs only 16 lb. and measures 72"L x 16"W x 1-3/4"D, so it’s easy to carry, yet can hold 500 lb. With its high-density foam fill, it can also be used as a flotation device.
