In Ground Basketball Hoops – A Checklist Before Buying your Basketball Goal

     Purchasing an in ground basketball hoop can be one of the best decisions that you ever make for your home.  Besides simply giving you and your family a way to have fun outdoors for years, it will also be a perfect way to get in a lot of exercise while enjoying yourselves.  Here’s what you need to ask yourself before you take that big step and buy the basketball hoop.

What is the Best Sized Backboard?

            Probably the factor that will most greatly affect the quality of play on your in ground basketball hoop is backboard size.  These can vary widely, anywhere from extremely inexpensive forty-four inch basketball backboards all the way up to NBA style seventy-two inch monsters. You should try to buy the biggest basketball backboard that your budget will allow. The larger your backboard, the more the backboard will have a pro style feel.  It will also be easier to do bank shots.

What should the Backboard be Made of?

 If you have a big budget for your basketball goal and really want to have a backboard with NBA style quality, you should defiantly opt for glass. It offers the best responsive rebound that you can find anywhere.

 

What kind of Basketball Pole?

            The basketball pole stabilizes the backboard, so you should make certain to get the best pole available.  The cheapest poles are round, come in three separate sections that you have to attach, and are made of sixteen or even eighteen gauge steel.  If you feel comfortable investing in a higher quality in ground basketball hoop, you should instead look for a basketball system that offers square, single piece pole that is made of either eleven or seven gauge steel.  The thicker the pole that you can get, the better overall stability of the basketball hoop.

What Basketball Accessories do you need?

            Obviously, before you start playing you need to make certain that you have a good quality basketball.  IF mostly adults will be on the court, get an official NBA size 29.5 Inch basketball.  If you expect that the inground basketball hoop will mostly be used by young kids, you might instead think about buying a slightly smaller 28.5 inch basketball.

What am I going to Do about Installation?

            If you plan on installing your in ground basketball hoop yourself, you need to make certain that you have the appropriate tools, namely a shovel, a couple bags of cement, a wheelbarrow to mix the cement, and probably a wrench and screwdriver to assemble the basketball hoop itself.  If you would rather just pay someone else to take care of this for you, you might be better off calling your local handyman or repairman.
