does the hoop take weather pretty well or does the weather wear on it?

The glass backboard does not warp or weather like an acrylic backboard might. It stays flat and strong. That is a big deal to me. I have the pole mounted inside a sleeve in concrete in the ground. I poured the concrete inside a cylindrical form that I got from the hardware store. So my unit is removable from its sleeve. My point is that when mounted properly the square pole remains sturdy and vertical and has very little play over time (at least over the time I have owned mine). The powder coating has not chipped on mine at all. Overall, I have had my unit installed for nearly a year in direct sunlight and through most of a mild winter and have not noticed any degradation at all.

The unit looks brand new and has been in the ground for about a full season. From 100F direct sun in the summer to -26F blowing snow and wind in the winter, I can see no visible degradation.

I live in Northern KY, and we see all 4 seasons here, and our hoop looks like the day I put it up. I would say it holds up very well to weather.

There is no rust on my basket ball hoop. But, I keep my hoop indoors because I have an indoor pool so my hoop does not get the elements of rain and sun like others do. I hope this help you.

The hoop is sturdy enough for all ages. Be careful using the baseball hoop during cold days (32 degrees F and below) may crack the plexiglass.

I used mine in Upstate NY year round.The weather doesn't a bother it at all.I did buy the security box though so that it wouldn't be stolen.Using the box for security also encloses it and keeps out of the weather.

It is well constructed. I dont believe occasional rain will hurt it. I would tilt it down a bit so it would not act like a catch all.

I live in the Bahamas. Weather for the most part is nice, we welcome sea winds and sometimes they come. So far we have not had any problems with this thing. It says put.

It never gets rain in it, but I can't answer for snow as I live in the desert. I love it and it's held up wonderfully.

I live in the mid west. Last summer was pretty hot, and the fencing is in full sun. It has held up well.

Nancy,The top appears to be at least water resistant but remember rain with wind also blows sideways. I have never used the playpen in inclement weather. I would suggest you email the company with the question. Good Luck

I've had mine in my yard all summer - rain or shine. Seems to be holding up great. No noticeable problems or wear. I will put it away before the snow though.

Ours stays outside in all weather with no problems so far. Our 6, 4, & 2 year olds all equally enjoy it.

We have ours out exposed to the weather and have not had any issues with it. So I would say yes!

I don't intentionally ride in the rain but I have been caught in it. Since it does have stitching, I would guess it has a little water resistance.

I have teenage boys who play hard on this rim. I don't encourage them to dunk n hang on the rim, but it does happen. It weighs a lot when the base is full, but I still think they r a bit afraid of it falling into the pool if they hung on the rim. So they dunk without hanging. This hoop, which I took in in the winter, has held up great and we look forward to many more seasons of fun with it.

Ours is on a covered porch and handles the weather nicely, we have it hanging with d-rings so if the weather is bad we take it down. We would totally recommend, our grandson loves it!!!

I have mine mounted where they get sun a lot of the day, and slightly wet when it rains. Had for almost 2 seasons with no problems. I do take them down in winter, but that are up for atleast 8 months a year.
