Bison Quickchange Basketball System

While you could install it at a home, it is specifically engineered for high-traffic public environments like camps and community centers. Its permanent, in-ground design and 36-inch burial depth are overkill for most residential needs, but it will certainly provide a commercial-grade, long-lasting setup if you have the space and budget for professional installation.

The system adjusts from 7.5 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments. Because this is a permanent, heavy-duty system, the adjustment mechanism is designed for durability rather than frequent, daily changes, so expect it to be a manual process that may require a tool or assistance.

Yes, molded graphite is chosen for its extreme durability and weather resistance rather than the rebound performance of glass. It is a rigid, solid material that will withstand harsh outdoor elements and heavy use without cracking or shattering, making it ideal for public playgrounds.

Professional installation is required for this unit. Because it is an in-ground system that needs a 36-inch deep concrete footing, proper installation is critical to ensure the pole remains stable and safe over years of heavy use.

The flex-rim is designed to absorb impact and reduce stress on the backboard during play, which is great for longevity. However, this is a playground-style system, not a professional-grade breakaway rim, so it is built more for recreational durability than aggressive, competitive dunking.

The pole-to-backboard extension is 22 inches when set at the 10-foot height. You should ensure you have enough clearance behind the pole to accommodate this extension and enough court space in front to allow for safe play.
