Bison 42" x 72" Extended Life Short Glass Conversion Backboard

The integrated support system absorbs more than 98% of the force generated by rim contact, preventing stress from transferring to the glass. With the rim mounted independently from the backboard, even aggressive hanging or heavy play will not place strain on the glass. This reduces the risk of injury and eliminates concerns about breakage. Confidence in the durability of the “XL” design is reflected in a five-year $250 installation reimbursement offer—alongside an unconditional replacement warranty—which has never required a reimbursement claim.

Each “XL” unbreakable backboard includes a polished aluminum extrusion frame, glass-cushioning gasket, high-strength steel support structure, and ½" tempered glass with a fire-impregnated bright white border and shooter’s square, all backed by an unconditional lifetime warranty. All Bison competition glass backboards are pre-drilled for fast installation of original DuraSkin backboard padding.

Upgrade easily from older fan-shaped steel or glass backboards to the widely used 42" x 72" rectangular glass format, typically without modifying or relocating existing wall or ceiling support systems. The 35" wide by 20" high rear structure mounting pattern aligns with the industry standard used on most fan-shaped gym backboards and support structures.
