Bison 6'-8' Stationary Competition Basketball Package FIBA Approved

Bison 6'–8' Full Package Basketball System, FIBA Approved

The Bison 6'–8' full-package basketball system is a competition-grade wall mount that holds the backboard 72" to 96" off your wall. It ships with an unbreakable 42" × 72" glass backboard, a breakaway goal, DuraSkin padding in 17 colors, wall boards, support chains, and mounting hardware. FIBA Level 2 approved up to 89".

Athletic directors and facility managers choose this package when they need certified competition play without surrendering floor space to a portable base. It sits inside our full range of basketball hoops and systems, and it is the model most schools spec for a standard court layout.

If you have a bid deadline and a gym that has to open on time, this is the configuration that gets specified most often — and the one with the fewest surprises at install.

What's in the full package basketball?

Everything needed to mount and play arrives in one shipment, except the anchors that fix the wall boards to your wall.

The package contains a heavy steel telescoping structure, an unbreakable 42" × 72" tempered glass backboard, a breakaway goal, support chains, wall boards, DuraSkin backboard padding in your choice of 17 colors, printed instructions, and all mounting hardware. Optional goal height adjusters are sold separately if you need to drop the rim for youth play.

That one exclusion matters more than it sounds. Wall anchors depend entirely on your wall — concrete, block, structural steel, and framed wood each take different fasteners, and no manufacturer can ship a universal anchor that suits all four.

Here is the practical version of that: your installer needs to know the wall type before the truck arrives, not after.

What wall structure is needed for a basketball goal? Your wall must carry both the package weight and the dynamic stress of play. Concrete, block, structural steel, and properly framed wood walls all work. Have the framing and attachment points verified before you order.

How to Size Your Wall Setback

The telescoping structure means you do not need to calculate your exact extension before ordering.

You choose the bracket, then fine-tune on site. This model covers 72" to 96" from wall face to backboard. If your court needs less reach, the 4'–6' stationary package covers 48" to 72" instead.

Slotted mounting brackets let your installer dial in goal height precisely rather than living with whatever the first bolt-up gives.

Measure Before You Pick a Bracket

Most respecs happen because someone measured to the wrong point.

Regulation court layouts place the backboard face roughly 4 feet in from the inner edge of the endline. So your required setback is not "wall to baseline"—it is wall face to the point 4 feet past the endline, where the board actually needs to hang.

Run it in this order:

• Mark the endline where your court will be striped
• Measure 4 ft toward the court from the inner edge of that line
• Measure from the finished wall face to that mark
• Land between 72" and 96"? This package is your bracket
• Land under 72"? Move to the 4'–6' size instead

Confirm the final number against your governing body's current court diagram and the PKG68STRG submittal drawing before you sign off. A tape measure costs nothing. A wrong bracket costs a delivery window.

The 89-Inch FIBA Ceiling

FIBA Level 2 approval covers this system up to 89 inches — not the full 96.

The structure extends to 96", but the approval envelope stops at 89". If your bid documents require FIBA-certified play, your installed setback needs to land at or below 89 inches. Confirm the exact terms against the FIBA Certificate of Approval before you finalize a spec.

Competitor listings rarely state this. It is the single detail most likely to cost you a re-spec after installation.

Is a full-package basketball FIBA-approved? Yes—this system is approved for FIBA Level 2 competition up to 89". The certificate is available for bid and procurement files.

Compare Bison Competition Packages

Pick by wall setback first, then by whether your gym needs the walls clear.

The gap between stationary and side fold is under $700. If your gym hosts volleyball, assemblies, or open-floor events even a few times a season, that gap usually pays for itself in setup labor within a year.

Installation, Anchors, and Site Prep

Two people and standard tools handle most installs, but the wall assessment comes first.

The telescoping design speeds alignment because your installer sets the extension on site rather than working to a pre-cut length. Triple set screws and final through-bolting lock the telescoping sections once the position is confirmed.

Tell your installer the wall type before they arrive. Concrete and block need different anchors than framed wood, and sourcing them mid-job costs a day.

For commercial jobs and heavy walls, use a professional installer. Follow the included instructions, verify fasteners and clearances, and inspect the breakaway rim and bolts after heavy play.

Never substitute locally sourced parts for missing or damaged factory components. A hardware-store bolt in a competition backstop is not a shortcut—it is a liability nobody wants to explain later.

Padding Colors and Upgrades

DuraSkin backboard padding comes in 17 colors, so the system can match your team palette.

Available colors: Black, Brown, Burnt Orange, Cardinal, Columbia Blue, Forest Green, Gold, Gray, Kelly Green, Maroon, Navy, Orange, Pink, Purple, Royal, Scarlet, and Vegas Gold.

Optional goal height adjusters let you move the rim for youth programs and PE classes. For shot clocks, logo printing, or other court add-ons, contact our team to confirm what is available for this configuration.

Who should buy a full package of basketball? Schools, clubs, community centers, and facilities that need certified competition play on a fixed wall — plus serious home courts with a wall rated to carry the load.

Care, Warranty, and Documents

A lifetime limited warranty covers the wall mount structure against manufacturing defects.

Wear items such as rims, padding, and glass follow standard service terms. Accidental damage and normal wear fall outside coverage. Spare parts are available.

Maintenance is light. Clean the glass with a low-acid glass cleaner, keep padding dry and clipped, and check rim and bolt tension on a regular schedule.

For procurement files, installation instructions, submittal drawings, and the FIBA Certificate of Approval are all available on request.

What does the lifetime warranty cover? Structural defects in the wall mount from the manufacturer. It does not cover accidental damage or normal wear on rims, padding, or glass.

Full Package Basketball FAQs

Can I install this basketball package myself?
Most installs go faster with two people and standard tools. For commercial facilities, heavy walls, or anything going into a bid, use a professional installer. The wall must be verified for load before work starts.

Are wall anchors included?
No. All mounting hardware ships with the package except the fasteners that anchor the wall boards to your wall. Those depend on whether you are mounting to concrete, block, structural steel, or framed wood.

How do I get 8-foot rim height for youth play?
Add optional goal height adjusters, sold separately. The base package is a fixed-height competition system, so plan the adjusters into your order if your program runs multiple age groups.

What is the difference between "stationary" and "side fold"?
Stationary structures stay fixed in playing position. Side fold structures swing flat against the wall, which suits gyms that convert to volleyball or open-floor events. Both offer the same setback ranges within a size bracket.

How does this package ship?
It ships via truck freight at 500 lbs. Plan for a delivery appointment and confirm site access for a freight vehicle before your ship date.

Is the FIBA certificate included with my order?
The FIBA Certificate of Approval is available for this system. Confirm certificate terms with our team when you place your order so your bid documents are complete.

Can this system be used outdoors?
This package is built for indoor competition. For outdoor courts, ask our team about weather-rated configurations before ordering.

What if my setback measures between two brackets?
Send us the number before you order. Overlap between the 4'–6' and 6'–8' ranges is common, and the right call usually depends on your baseline clearance rather than the raw measurement alone.
