⚡ At a Glance
- • Build Quality: Powder-coated solid steel rim with two-spring flex mechanism for heavy-duty outdoor use
- • Best for: Schools, public courts, garages and home yards needing a robust outdoor hoop
- • Not ideal for: Backboards with non-matching mounting hole centres or custom integrated breakaway systems
Solid steel 18-inch rim manufactured for outdoor play, supplied with a 12-loop nylon net and mounting hardware. Two-spring shock absorber flex reduces stress on mounting surfaces while the powder-coated finish increases weather resistance.
Reliable rebound and reduced wall stress – with two-spring action flex mechanism
Dual springs create a breakaway-style flex, delivering spring-back action when the rim is loaded. The mechanism absorbs and disperses force away from the plate and mounting points.
Safer rebounds and fewer impact shocks to the wall or backboard during dunks and hard shots, lowering the risk of mounting damage.
Long-lasting outdoor performance – thanks to powder-coated solid steel construction
Solid steel construction is finished with a powder coat that resists rust and surface wear from rain and sun. The rim’s weight and material help maintain shape under repeated impacts.
A tough exterior keeps the rim serviceable across seasons, so frequent outdoor play does not rapidly degrade the hoop.
Ready-to-fit replacement – with included net, springs and fixings
Package contains an all-weather nylon net with 12 loops, two shock-absorbing springs and four expansion screws for mounting. Plate size and hole spacing are specified to aid compatibility checks.
Quick installation for typical backboards when measurements match, allowing courts and garages to be back in play with minimal additional parts.
