Because this system uses a direct-bury installation, it requires digging a hole and pouring concrete to set the 6-inch square post.

Yes, the tempered glass is designed specifically for outdoor environments. It offers the same authentic rebound and clarity you find on indoor gym courts, and it is built to withstand exposure to the elements without yellowing or degrading like acrylic alternatives.

The hand-crank mechanism is designed for smooth, effortless operation, allowing the hoop to be adjusted anywhere from 7.5 feet to the regulation 10 feet.

This design significantly reduces the stress on the backboard and minimizes the risk of injury to the player, making it much safer for aggressive play than a fixed rim.

The heavy-duty steel post is finished with a weather-resistant powder coating specifically engineered to prevent rust and corrosion. To maximize its lifespan, we recommend periodically inspecting the coating for any deep scratches and touching them up with exterior-grade paint.
