Hi. Glad you like it. Actually, its been few years since we did this, but I think it is birch plywood, cut in half (2' x 8') panels, with a clear stain on them. That is what brings out wood grain a bit more than usual. The white trim is simply painted white wood. The plywood is an inexpensive, and durable material for behind a basketball hoop!
