The Rust Armor™ system protects your basketball
goal from damaging corrosives ensuring your system
will perform for a lifetime while looking great. You will
also receive an extended lifetime warranty coving any
structural damage from corrosion.
Galvanized Coating
Each part of your system will be dipped and coated in a galvanizing solution
that will protect the raw steel from corrosive elements.
Every piece of steel used
on Pro Dunk® basketball
goals passes through a
molten bath of zinc at a
temperature of 860 degrees
thoroughly coating them inside and out with
a thick robust layer of zinc.
This process is commonly
known as hot-dip
galvanization and prevents
corrosion by forming a
physical barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode.
The zinc coating reacts with oxygen, water molecules and carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere to yield an impermeable, tenacious,
insoluble layer of zinc carbonate.
This level of protection is similar to that of aluminum and
stainless steels.

Stainless Steel Fasteners
All bolts, nuts and washers will be upgraded to
stainless steel ensuring your system will look
great forever and never weaken or seize up
over time.
Untreated steel fasteners will be replaced
with durable stainless steel to ensure your
goal will remain structurally sound and reduce unsightly rust
streaks forever.
Destructive corrosives such as
road and costal salt will not weaken
bolts, washers and nuts. They also
make moving your system a snap!
Never worry about rusty fasteners
seizing up while disassembling
and reassembling the system.
Extended Corrosion Warranty
