When you want a large, very rigid basketball hoop system for a playground, the Tyrant is worth considering. This system has a very impressive galvanized post measuring 6 5/8" in diameter with a 72" overhang. The Tyrant is rightly considered the leading playground basketball system in the United States.

The Tyrant's backboard is easy to install, due to the nose cone that is incorporated into the design.

As an added safety feature, backboard and pole padding is available for the Tyrant system.

It is constructed from 4 1/2" galvanized schedule 40 tubing. With the RuffNeck, the basketball rim can be mounted through the backboard and into the post. This technique eliminates stress on the backboard. Two tubular braces are attached to the neck of the post, and a nose cone is provided to help with the installation. Several different kinds of backboards and rims are compatible with the RuffNeck fixed basketball hoop system.

In some situations, you want to have a sturdy basketball hoop system that has some added flexibility. The Renegade is the model you should be considering in that case. The Renegade's pole is constructed from 4 1/2" O.D. galvanized schedule 40 tubing. It needs to be buried 48" into the concrete of the playground. To seal out moisture, a vinyl cap has been provided. Choose the style of rim and backboard you would like to customize the Renegade package to suit your needs.
