Arch Backstops
By far our most popular backstops, hundreds of Arch Backstops are installed across the nation.
While other manufacturers continue to try to copy, none have the experience and know-how that we do. There are no others equal to ours in quality, workmanship, symmetry, structural integrity, and ease of installation. We have been building them for over 40 years.
Only PW Athletic Mfg. Co. (Patterson-Williams) uses galvanized steel pipe. Originally designed in 1958 by landscape architect Richard Kamphefner, Park Superintendent for the City of Anaheim, California, manufacturing rights were granted to PW Athletic Mfg. Co. (Patterson-Williams) when the “layback” design proved so successful that quicker and more efficient production was required. Working to improve performance even further, PW Athletic Mfg. Co. (Patterson-Williams) designed the “perpendicular” style in 1968. Arch backstops are economical. The durability and design, which discourages climbers, enables the equipment to continue to look good for many years. They are assembled and erected with no field welding required.
PW Athletic Mfg. Co. (Patterson-Williams)
PW Athletic Mfg. Co. (Patterson-Williams) uses galvanized tube, the strongest, most durable material available designed for the recreational industry.
For 87 years, the name PW Athletic Mfg. Co. (Patterson-Williams) has been synonymous with products made of the strongest, most durable materials available for the intended use.
Galvanized steel is strong enough to provide a substantial safety margin for the use and abuse to which it’s subjected. It has a higher tensile strength as compared with many other types of pipe or tubing used for play and athletic equipment.
Basketball
These are the toughest basketball systems in the industry. Complete units are available for as little as $604.00, many with Lifetime warranties. There are virtually unlimited configurations, most available in 3-1/2” O.D., 4-1/2” O.D., 5-9/16” O.D. and 6-5/8” O.D. Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe.
Backboards are available in Fiberglass, Aluminum, Heavy-Duty Steel, Solid Polyethylene, Galvanized Steel and Polycarbonate.

Volleyball / Badminton
Whether on the beach or on the court, our posts are ideal. These multi-purpose competition posts are manufactured from galvanized tube to last a lifetime. They are offered in post sizes from 2-7/8” through 5-9/16” O.D. with a wide variety of post fittings for proper net attachment, including fixed and adjustable eyes with rope clamps, pulleys and net tighteners.
All models adapt to volleyball and provide for both top and bottom net cable or rope secured to posts at correct heights. Also upon request, use of adjustable fittings, whether heavy-duty or standard duty, permits lowered net positions to adapt to tennis net height. For those who want the convenience of removable posts, ground sleeves are offered.
Also available is a selection of volleyball and sand volleyball accessories.
