The Bison 5-9/16" Mega Duty Finished Aluminum Fan Playground Basketball System PR75 is a permanent fixed height outdoor basketball system built around a material that does not rust. The BA475SS Lifeguard 35-1/2" x 54" cast aluminum fan-shaped backboard with heavy support ribs, white powder coated finish, and official orange shooter's square and border is paired with the BA39U Ultimate playground goal on a BA780 Mega-Duty 5-9/16" O.D. hot dip galvanized steel gooseneck pipe buried 48" into the ground. A selectable 72" or 96" safe play area at checkout. One of two things on the PR75 will never rust: the aluminum backboard and the hot dip galvanized pole.
The BA475SS is durable, rust-free aluminum. The Lifeguard backboard is cast aluminum construction, a material that does not rust regardless of weather exposure, moisture, or the outdoor conditions a permanently installed playground system accumulates across decades of daily use. The fan-shaped profile is 35-1/2" x 54" official size, with heavy support ribs behind the playing surface providing structural rigidity, a white powder coated finish, official orange shooter's square and border for clear visual targeting, and a standard 5" x 5" goal mounting hole pattern compatible with the BA39U Ultimate goal included standard. For a public outdoor court where backboard corrosion is an unacceptable long-term maintenance outcome, cast aluminum is the material answer. The BA475SS carries a Lifetime limited warranty.
Every PR75 ships with Bison's BA39U Ultimate playground goal, carrying the first and still the only unconditional lifetime replacement warranty on a basketball goal. Built with a double 5/8" solid steel rim, 3/16" x 1" No-Fail netlocks, and a 3/16" thick box-style backplate and rim supports. Premium nylon net and high tensile strength mounting hardware included. Accepts optional chain nets. The BA39U carries Bison's unconditional lifetime replacement warranty.
The PR75 is mounted on the BA780 Mega-Duty 5-9/16" O.D. hot dip galvanized round gooseneck pipe buried 48" into the ground in a permanent concrete anchor, with heavy 1-5/8" backboard braces. Hot dip galvanizing bonds a uniform zinc protective layer to every surface of the pipe inside and out for long-term corrosion resistance across decades of outdoor exposure. The BA780 pole carries a Lifetime limited warranty.
The PR75 is available with a selectable safe play area at checkout. The standard 72" safe play area covers the majority of public playground court requirements. For courts where facility safety guidelines or site layout require additional clearance, the 96" extended safe play area is available via the PR75XL configuration. The extension arm length is set at manufacture and cannot be changed after the pole is permanently buried. Contact our team if you are unsure which configuration is right for your court.
Both configurations share the same BA780 hot dip galvanized gooseneck pipe, 48" in-ground bury, heavy 1-5/8" backboard braces, BA475SS cast aluminum fan backboard with Lifetime limited warranty, BA39U Ultimate goal with unconditional lifetime replacement warranty, and truck shipping. The only difference is safe play area setback length.
Standard PR75 configuration. BA780 Mega-Duty gooseneck platform, 48" in-ground bury, BA475SS rust-free cast aluminum fan backboard with Lifetime limited warranty, BA39U Ultimate goal. Best for outdoor courts where 72" player clearance meets facility requirements.
Extended PR75XL configuration. Same full BA780 Mega-Duty platform, BA475SS cast aluminum fan backboard, and BA39U Ultimate goal. Best for courts where facility safety standards or site layout require clearance beyond 72".
The PR75 is available with optional BA700PP pole padding at the time of purchase. For any public playground installation we strongly recommend adding the BA700PP to your order. Fitting pole padding after the system is permanently installed in concrete is significantly more difficult than ordering it upfront.
The BA780 pole structure carries a Lifetime limited warranty. The BA475SS cast aluminum backboard carries a Lifetime limited warranty. The BA39U Ultimate goal carries Bison's unconditional lifetime replacement warranty, the first and still the only warranty of its kind on a basketball goal. All limited warranties cover damage during normal and intended use as determined by Bison. The unconditional goal warranty removes the normal use limitation for the goal itself. For facilities where players pay an individual or group fee to use the equipment, Bison products carry no warranty except for obvious manufacturing defects. Vandalism damage is excluded from all Bison warranty coverage.
