Inground Basketball Hoops

1. Expect inground basketball goals to require some effort to install- and by effort we mean digging and the like. If you're serious about your home basketball court though, you'll find your efforts rewarded by way of a basketball hoop with greater stability and durability.

2. Inground basketball hoops are available with a variety of backboards from which to choose, including tempered glass, steel, polycarbonate, acrylic, and fiberglass backboards.

3. We offer inground basketball systems with fixed heights and adjustable heights. Adjustable inground basketball systems typically cost more, but you're paying for greater versatility. With adjustable basketball hoops, kids of all ages can play, and more gravity-bound players can still get their dunk on.

4. You'll be able to choose from a variety of backboard widths as you shop for inground basketball hoops. Choose based on your budget and level of play: bigger backboards usually cost more, but higher levels of play demand wider backboards.

5. Have your heavy mixing tools ready: inground basketball systems have support poles anchored to the ground using concrete. How much concrete you need depends on the size and specifications of your basketball hoop.

6. Inground basketball goals are available in standard and bolt-on varieties. With standard inground basketball systems, the pole itself is secured in the concrete. This is very stable, but also very permanent.

7. Bolt-on inground basketball hoops feature an anchor system, which is cemented into the ground. The pole is then bolted to this anchor, providing a stable but potentially moveable basketball system. So if you ever move, your basketball hoop's coming with you.

8. Residential inground basketball systems are fairly easy to install if you're somewhat handy. However, if you're not familiar with mixing and pouring concrete, hire a contractor. Doing damage to your new hoop or your body is a quick way to take the fun out of your new investment.
