The Bison 5 9/16" x 8' Mega Duty Steel Playground Rectangle Basketball Hoop was designed with a galvanized steel pole that gets buried 48 inches into the ground for superior stability, and it has a 96" setback for maximum player safety. The backboard was made using steel for durability, and it features a white powder-coated finish with an orange shooter's square and border for a classic look. It even includes a double 5/8" steel rim with a no-fail netlock system that keeps the net securely attached, so you can keep on playing!
