A Hoop System That Can Take a Beating—And Keep Playing

When it comes to outdoor basketball, not all hoops are created equal. Some are built for casual shooting, and some—like the Bison 5-9/16″ Mega-Duty Basketball Hoop System—are built to handle serious competition, relentless dunks, and whatever Mother Nature throws its way. Whether it’s a full-court game at the park or kids testing the limits of their vertical leap, this system stands strong.

Heavy-Duty Steel for Maximum Strength

The backbone of this system is its 5-9/16″ diameter galvanized steel post, designed to withstand years of aggressive play, inclement weather, and the occasional (or frequent) hanging on the rim. This thick-walled steel pole is engineered for maximum durability, ensuring stability and minimizing shake when the ball hits the backboard.

Your Choice of Indestructible Backboards

Not all backboards are built the same, and with this system, you get two ultra-tough options:

• 60″ Unbreakable Glass Backboard – Ideal for competitive play, offering the best rebound performance while being reinforced for outdoor use.
• 60″ Steel Backboard – Built like a tank, this backboard is virtually indestructible and perfect for playgrounds where long-term durability is the priority.

Both options are designed to endure years of play without warping, cracking, or shattering—even when players get a little too enthusiastic.

Pro-Style Breakaway Rim – No More Bent Rims

A hoop system this tough wouldn’t be complete without a rim that can take the heat. The included breakaway rim is designed to handle dunking and aggressive play without bending out of shape. It flexes under pressure, reducing stress on the backboard and post, then snaps back into place, ready for the next game.

Built for the Elements

Outdoor courts take a beating from rain, snow, and sun, but this system is built to resist rust and weather damage. The galvanized steel post and powder-coated components ensure long-lasting performance, even in harsh climates. This means less maintenance and more time actually playing the game.

Who’s This Hoop System For?

This isn’t your average driveway basketball hoop. The Bison 5-9/16″ Mega-Duty Basketball System is perfect for:
Public parks and playgrounds – Where hoops need to be tough enough to handle daily use.
School courts – Ideal for high school-level outdoor courts and PE programs.
Recreational centers – Perfect for facilities that host serious pick-up games.
Basketball fanatics – If you want a professional-quality hoop for your personal outdoor court, this is the one.

Frequently Asked Questions

1: How does this system compare to a standard residential basketball hoop?
The Bison 5-9/16″ Mega-Duty Hoop is built for heavy, high-impact use, making it far more durable than typical driveway hoops. It’s designed for playgrounds, parks, and other high-traffic courts where long-lasting performance is a must.

2: Can I install this hoop system myself?
This is a permanent, in-ground system that requires cementing the post securely in place. While installation is possible for those with experience in setting up heavy-duty equipment, we recommend professional installation to ensure stability and safety.

3: Which backboard option is best for me?
If you want a true, professional rebound experience, go for the glass backboard. If you need something virtually indestructible, the steel backboard is the better choice. Both are built for long-term outdoor use.
