This ensures superior rust resistance and longevity.
Additionally, we apply a robust powder coating to all steel components as an extra layer of corrosion protection. To further enhance durability, we use stainless steel hardware, preventing rust on nuts and bolts and ensuring that your basketball system remains in top condition, regardless of the weather.
