Goal Installation

MIXING CONCRETE FOR AN IN-GROUND INSTALLATION

The secret to a long-lasting basketball hoop is in foundation. Achieving the correct mixture of dry concrete and water can give your goal additional years of life!

A mixture that is too thin lacks the strength needed to properly hold the steel pole in place. A mixture that is too thick will leave you struggling to fill voids that can’t be seen below, again compromising strength. So how do you achieve the perfect balance? Let’s find out!

Compressive Strength

Concrete is rated by its compressive strength, which means: how much pressure per square inch can a standard cylinder of concrete withstand before breaking. These ratings are derived from standardized machines which can evenly apply pressure across the surface of a concrete cylinder.

Compressive strength is largely determined by the composition of the mix. Walk into any home improvement store and you’ll see a variety of mixes that advertise ‘fast setting,’ ‘high-strength,’ ‘crack resistant,’ etc. The main difference between each of these is some mixes may contain additional ingredients, such as fiberglass, to provide even greater bond strength.

If you have a specific mix you’re looking for, then great, you already know what to get. However, if you’re simply trying to follow the instructions for your hoop, your standard ‘High-Strength’ mix will do just fine.

What Does Goalrilla Recommend?

Goalrilla recommends purchasing 12-13 bags of Quikrete concrete mix. This concrete meets the ASTM C387 Standard Specifications for concrete.

While directions state you only need 11 bags, it’s not a bad idea to have an extra bag or two on hand in the event the installation gets a little messy. As you’ll find out, concrete mix can be difficult to move and it’s very easy to accidentally tear a bag open.

Mixing the Concrete

Once you have all the appropriate materials, start by opening 1-2 bags and pouring them into a large container. Add water according to what the instructions dictate.

For an 80 lb. bag, you’ll want to use 6 pints or 2.8 L of water, or for a 60 lb. bag, you’ll want to use 4 pints or 1. 9 L per bag of concrete. If you don’t have measuring bucket around, a 2 L soda pop bottle will work to get a close enough estimation.

Create a depression in the center of the dry mix and add your water here. Work the mix with a hoe or other tool and ensure consistency across the batch. Properly mixed concrete should be wet, but firm enough to hold its shape and in an oatmeal-like consistency. You can test its consistency by picking up a handful while wearing gloves.

Do not let the mix sit for extended periods of time or you run the risk of letting it dry out. Move the mix to the freshly dug hole as soon as possible and agitate as you pour to help alleviate any voids. A trench shovel and extra set of hands will be helpful here.

On especially hot days you may need to add more water to the mix as water will evaporate. Always keep the mix moving and ensure the mix maintains its consistency.

Repeat these steps as necessary until you have the appropriate amount of concrete.

Pouring Concrete in Cold Weather

Installing your basketball hoop in winter is possible but has a few caveats. If the outside temperature is below 40° F (4.44° C) for an extended period of time, you will want to reconsider your install date. Temperatures below this threshold can cause all sorts of problems your average DIY installer is most likely not equipped to handle, nor would want to.

If you choose to pour concrete during the winter months, there are few things you or your installer will want to remember.

1. If the ground is frozen, you will need to wait until it thaws before you can even consider starting. You should NEVER place concrete in frozen ground, since it poses a number of problems from cracking, crusting, and settling unevenly.
2. Use a fast-setting mix with hot water. As the name implies, a fast-setting mix will usually set in under an hour. While it may set in under an hour, it will still take several days to cure. When mixing concrete in these temperatures, regardless of type, use hot water.
3. Use an accelerator. If you don’t have access to fast-setting concrete or have already purchased regular concrete, you can purchase an accelerator that helps increase the concrete hydration rate. This helps to shorten the setting time and gets the concrete to a higher strength earlier. Avoid any accelerators or additives containing calcium chloride as this will cause the rebar to rust and could potentially cause the concrete to crack. Do not mix fast-setting concrete and an accelerator.
4. Use curing blankets. Specifically, for cold-weather applications, concrete curing blankets help to trap in the heat and moisture, so the concrete can reach its proper strength. Additionally, these “blankets” protect the concrete from freezing. Blankets can be purchased from your local home improvement store for around $50-$60 depending on your area. Keep in mind they do not look like the blankets you would use in your home. These blankets look more tarp-like and usually come in rolls.

In addition to these tips, some professional installers may have other methods or tricks they use to set concrete in colder weather. In this case, it may be better to hire a professional to do the job as they will often have the necessary supplies, like curing blankets, already on hand.

As the cost of additional materials begins to add up, combined with the inconvenience of working in the cold, you may find it’s better to have someone else do it.

The recommended hole size is 16 inches in diameter and 48 inches deep. You will need eleven 80-lb bags of concrete for the installation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTION: Before you dig, call your local utilities to rule out the presence of buried cables including power, water, gas and phone lines. Failure to do so could result in serious or fatal injury.

For safety purposes, we recommend you have at least three capable persons to assist you.

For best results with less vibration, your Goalrilla Anchor System should be independent of your court. If pouring concrete for both at the same time, add an expansion joint in between.

The anchor system is set in concrete on Day 1 and requires at least 72 hours to cure. We recommend erecting your system on Day 5 to ensure the superior rock-solid performance for which Goalrilla is famous.

Too much overhang can reduce the amount of court space and cause excessive shaking due to the weight of the backboard being suspended too far from the main pole. Look for approximately 2 feet to 4 feet of overhang for the best balance of safety and performance. A basketball hoop with an overhang of 5 feet or more can compromise performance because the weight of the glass backboard will increase shake in the system. A basketball hoop with an overhang of 5 feet will actually encroach on the play surface by more than 7 feet once you add the 25 inches of rim that come out from the backboard surface.

 Overhang changes as the basketball goal is adjusted. Goalrilla basketball hoops are adjustable from the safety-approved height of 7. 5 feet to the NBA and NCAA regulation height of 10 feet. Use the Goalrilla basketball goal overhang chart here to find your model and learn the distance in overhang at each height.

Not feeling up to the job? You can always hire a professional to install your basketball hoop for you. While you might be tempted to call a local construction company or handyman, and although some of these businesses might offer basketball goal installation, we recommend contacting a Goalrilla installation specialist. Installing a goal requires exact precision and specialized processes to ensure your goal is level and operating at peak performance. No one knows how to do this better than a Goalrilla specialist!

CHECK FOR GOALRILLA AUTHORIZED DEALERS

Step one should always be to see if there is an authorized dealer in your area, particularly a Goalrilla Platinum Dealer. Goalrillas are sold through a network of full service dealers throughout the country, and these Goalrilla specialists can not only help you find the best goal to purchase, but they can install it too. These dealers are installing hundreds of Goalrillas every year, and know our exact specifications, so you can trust that they will get it done right!

OTHER INSTALLERS TO CONSIDER

For some people living in more remote areas of the country, you may not have a Goalrilla dealer nearby. In that case, you might opt to purchase your Goalrilla online. Luckily, you can still find an installer by performing a Google search of “National installation and assembly service.” That will give you a good place to start.

If you don’t have a local Goalrilla dealer or installer in your area, then you may consider contacting a general contractor. A simple Google search for “basketball goal installers + [YOUR CITY],” should turn up some places to start. In this case, you may want to direct this service provider to our installation guide to make sure they have the correct information for a successful installation.

HOW MUCH SHOULD IT COST?

Managing the installation yourself has its own merit, but if you’re paying somebody to do it, you should expect professional quality. Professional installations should generally range anywhere from $400 to $600 from beginning to end. Especially if you are working with an installation company or local contractor, be sure to get a couple different quotes before committing to a purchase.

If you are considering a service provider that is not a Goalrilla authorized dealer for the installation of your basketball goal, you may want to consider asking the following questions…

This is by far the most important question to ask when evaluating an installer. It’s a no-brainer that if someone hasn’t done many other installations, you probably don’t want to be their first guinea pig. Most professional installers will have a gallery on their website showcasing their work. If they do not, it may be a good idea to see if they have a Facebook or other social media page where these photos are posted.

Installing a full in-ground system is a multi-step, multi-day process. The first day involves digging the hole and installing the concrete, followed by 3 days for the concrete to cure, and then final assembly of the goal. Make sure the quote you receive covers the concrete installation AND the assembly of the goal, as well as the materials to do the job.

Most installers have multiple projects running simultaneously, and this is especially true during the spring and summer months. You will likely not be the only project on the schedule.

Before committing to the installation, be sure to find out when they will start and when it will be completed. The installation for any Goalrilla will take at least 4 days, and a particularly busy installation schedule may delay your install date even further. Make sure your selected installer can get your goal installed in a timeline that works for you, so you can start playing as soon as possible!

Disregarding an installer’s other jobs, an installation may take more than 4 days depending on the weather. The concrete takes 3 days to cure in warm temperatures, so when the mercury begins to drop, the curing process can take significantly longer. Additionally, if the ground is frozen, it’ll be almost impossible to dig a hole.

More on cold-weather installations can be learned here. Be sure to discuss these conditions and other alternative options with the installer.

A botched installation can cause you and your family a lot of frustration and money. Check with the installer to see what their warranty policy is in the event of an error in installation. Be sure to make a note on the specifics of the warranty and get a copy if possible. If after the installation something seems wrong, immediately take notes and pictures to have as documentation when calling.

<>Accidents do happen and when there’s a several hundred-pound steel pole or backboard involved, the severity of some accidents can escalate quickly. If an independent contractor (aka the installer) ends up getting injured while doing an installation on your property, you could be responsible.

This is one of the major reasons hiring a professional from a reputable company is a must for this type of project. A reputable company will carry insurance for these types of accidents and injuries, so you don’t have to worry about a lawsuit. Always be sure to ask before agreeing to any installation and see the certificate of insurance for general liability.

For some people, there may be additional steps you need to take before an installer can begin work. The major task that needs to be completed is having the utility lines marked. Since there is a 4-foot deep hole that must be dug at the installation site, you and the installer need to be aware of any buried cables. Call 811 at least a few days ahead of the dig date to have the cables marked.

Additionally, most installers will need to have the area around the installation mowed, the driveway free of any cars, toys, or other debris, and the boxed goal easily accessible at the installation site (If you purchase your goal from a Goalrilla authorized dealer, they will likely deliver the goal themselves for installation).

Also, be sure to ask the installer if you need to be present for the installation. Even if you don’t have to be, being on-site during installation can help to resolve any questions that may arise.

Once the goal installed, there are a few final clean-up notes to consider. Be sure to ask how any excess dirt will be handled or disposed of. If you would like to reuse the dirt, agree upon where the excess dirt will be placed. A request to have the dirt placed on the side of the house or in a designated corner in the backyard shouldn’t be a problem.

Also, if you purchased your Goalrilla goal online, it will be delivered on a pallet via a freight shipment. Ask if your installer can take care of disposing of this pallet as well.

Basketball Goal Installation In Your Area

Installing a basketball hoop is a great way to make your driveway more fun, but installation can be a challenge. Standalone hoops need to be properly assembled and weighted. Wall-mounted models can be dangerous without the right supports. To ensure the job is done right, find a basketball goal installation company near you.

When you find a local contractor, they can even take into account your area's weather so that portable hoops, for example, can be weighted against the wind.

New basketball goals should be fun, not a chore. Enter your zip code and HomeAdvisor will find basketball hoop installation services in your area who can move you closer to practice and pick-up games at home.

Today's children and adolescents are strikingly different from their peers 20-30 years ago. Global digitalization and a large number of electronic devices have an impact on the life of the younger generation. Children prefer to spend more time on gadgets than playing active outdoor games.

There are several reasons for this. First of all, it is a lack of interest in physical activity. It's much easier to turn on YouTube and watch someone play football, basketball, or swim in the pool. On the other hand, there is another problem - the lack of sports grounds with playground equipment. Such sites are mainly located near socially significant facilities, such as schools, kindergartens, sports complexes. Modern residential complexes offer indoor play facilities for children living in the area.

Despite this, the problem has not been completely resolved. Despite the projected demographic decline, the number of children is increasing. There is not always a place on the court to play for everyone.

Why is physical development important?

Teachers say that the development of the child should be comprehensive. The presence of digital gadgets does not solve the problem of physical development, but rather exacerbates it. First of all, visual function suffers. Spending a lot of time in front of the screen of a smartphone or tablet, children lose their eyesight. As a result, already upon reaching school age, parents are forced to turn to specialists with this problem.

Why is physical development so important? It affects the development of the child and the formation of a number of qualities in him. Outdoor activity is a key component of children's physical development. At the same time, the presence of a large number of electronic devices in the family reduces interest in various types of physical activity. Physical activity is simply necessary for children for a number of reasons:

1. Outdoor activities and active play help strengthen the immune system;
2. Active movements during the game process help to train the vestibular apparatus and stimulate blood circulation in all organs and systems;
3. Outdoor play helps to try on various social roles, as well as learn how to work in a team and builds communication skills;
4. Active participation in sports contributes to the formation of discipline.

When to involve children in sports?

There is no universal answer to this question. Scientists, teachers, psychologists and parents have different opinions on this matter. In fact, everything is individual. It all depends on the sport, but in general, it is necessary to involve children in physical activity from preschool age.

Firstly, it helps to cope with excess energy in children. A great way to throw out emotions is to play football, throw the ball into the ring, play table tennis. These activities are suitable for both preschool children and schoolchildren.

An important factor here is the interest in a particular process. In this case, the responsibility lies with the parents. They should show by their example that active games are interesting and great. The child must understand that he has an alternative to computer games and TV. If parents come home and sit down at a computer or smartphone, turn on the TV, children perceive this as normal. They have no interest in doing anything else. Spending time together will help attract children to sports.

The role of playgrounds

Despite the fact that it is not always possible to spend time on the playground, the benefits of this type of activity cannot be underestimated. If there is such an opportunity, it should definitely be used. It is worth looking at the example of Japan, where the role of sports and activity is sky-high. Almost every park and square has playgrounds there. Anyone can come there and do what they like. In our country, this problem does not always find a solution. First of all, this is due, as already mentioned, to the lack of playgrounds. Even where they are, there is not always a chance to get on them. Sometimes they are privately owned and are closed cells, where it is not so easy to get into.

However, if there is an opportunity to spend time on the playground, you need to seize the moment. First of all, this is due to the general physical development. Active outdoor games strengthen the immune system and develop muscles. During such exercises, endurance improves, all organ systems in the body work, various systems are trained.

During the game, children try on new roles. Someone becomes a striker on the football field, the other tries to become a defender in basketball. This develops the intelligence of the child and contributes to the formation of personal qualities. The process of communication plays an important role. First of all, all participants in the game process learn to communicate and interact with each other. It is impossible to imagine a full-fledged development without a properly built communicative model of behavior.

What game elements are needed for the playground?

The equipment of the playground implies the presence of game elements for various types of activity. Today, many companies offer a wide range of gaming equipment for arranging outdoor playgrounds. We offer various types of designs:

• Hockey goals;
• Football goal;
• Tennis tables;
• Basketball hoops;
• Volleyball posts and nets.

Our designs can be placed on any site. One of the advantages is the ability to install these elements for the season, thanks to the ability to disassemble shells. Football goals can be set up for the summer and when weather conditions no longer allow outdoor activities, they can simply be removed and stored in a safe and dry place.

Benefits of play elements

Our catalog contains various elements for placement on playgrounds. By production high-quality materials are used. All metal structures are highly durable. Grids do not burn out and do not crumble under the influence of sunlight. Products made of plywood are not afraid of moisture.

Our equipment is characterized by ease of installation. No need to hire separate personnel or look for special equipment to install a particular projectile. Everything can be done independently. All products are characterized by durability. Even with intensive use, all structural elements retain a decent appearance. The paints used in coloring products are non-toxic and do not fade in the sun. The bright summer sun will not be a problem when using the sports complex.

We offer a reasonable pricing policy that is suitable for both individuals and organizations. This will allow equipping playgrounds in schools, kindergartens and just in the local area.

Requirements for the installation of sports equipment

A number of requirements apply to the equipment of playgrounds and playgrounds. Some of them are enshrined in legislation in regulatory legal acts. When installing playground equipment on the site, it is necessary to take into account the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe territory.

The ideal option would be to place each element in a separate zone, if the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe object allows it. The football field should preferably be separated from the volleyball and basketball courts. This will attract more children to engage in active games. However, reality dictates completely different conditions. It often turns out that dense buildings and limited space do not allow placing game objects in isolation. As a result, we get a cluster in which several elements are combined. This is not very convenient, since you cannot simultaneously engage in several sports. In addition, children will interfere with each other.

An important requirement will be the placement of a flat structure. It should be located away from the roadway or parking. The use of guard rails is recommended to increase the safety of children. Currently, so-called cell sites are used. They are fenced around the perimeter, and sometimes divided into sections so that children can play without interfering with each other.

It is also worth paying attention to the coating that will be used on the site. Now rubber coating is used. It is soft and has a high degree of stability. With the right choice of shoes, children will not slip on this surface.

Sports field safety

When equipping any facility for children, elementary safety requirements should be taken into account.

1. All play structures must be securely fastened.
2. It is necessary to carry out a timely inspection of projectiles for mechanical damage.
3. Adults are encouraged to be on the court during games to help in case of injury.
4. Location of objects preferably away from trees and power lines.
5. Use high-quality and environmentally friendly materials when arranging the site.

It is objectively very difficult to put all these requirements together. Sometimes the location features do not allow avoiding the location near roads or near life support facilities. This increases the risk of injury. However, there is always an opportunity to minimize these risks.

Sizes of basketball backboards - Article

The official basketball rules set out the dimensions of basketball backboards according to which the size of this sports equipment is selected. You can find these rules in official documents on the website owned by of the Russian Basketball Federation . At the moment, GOSTs relating to basketball equipment are under development and have not yet entered into force. In the specified documentation, one size option for the basketball backboard is set - 1.8x1.05 m .

According to the existing classification of domestic manufacturers, boards with such dimensions are considered to be play boards. Designs with smaller dimensions are classified as training. A common option for training shields is the size 1.2x0.8 and 1.2x0.9 m . Such shields were popular back in Soviet times. Often such dimensions appear in the documentation for the construction of sports halls for basketball. They are compact, for which they are widely in demand in private practice, when arranging a training ground on a private territory or in a country house.

Basketball rules require the size of the inner rectangle to be 59x45 cm . In backboards with dimensions of 1.2x0.8 and 1.2x0.9 m, there will be enough space around such an inner rectangle for a comfortable game. Shields of a standard size of 1.8x1.05 m in a small area will look too massive.

One of the outdated versions of the basketball backboard is a design measuring 180x120 cm, in which the size of the playing area under the hoop is increased. Such backboards look very cumbersome and are in demand in a situation where basketball backboards are being replaced in the hall without changing the size of the trusses for fastening. Dimensions such as 180x120 cm are mentioned in GOST. American manufacturers make basketball equipment, indicating the dimensions of the backboard in inches.

An inch system used by American manufacturers for labeling basketball equipment. Basketball players who are accustomed to the metric system are not always able to navigate and translate the length and height in inches into meters.

The width of the shield is its horizontal dimension, and its height is its vertical dimension. With inch marking for shields, only the width of the structure is indicated. In this case, the height parameter can be any. For example, boards with dimensions of 120x80 cm and 120x90 cm will correspond to inch size 48.

The table shows the conversion of sizes in inches to sizes in centimeters. According to the data indicated in it, when calculating centimeter parameters, 1 inch is 2.54 cm. The table below shows approximate dimensions in cm, since a step of 1 inch does not make it possible to perform an accurate translation. For example, 30 inches is 76.2 cm, but some manufacturers make boards in this size with a width of 75 cm.

It is customary for Russian manufacturers of basketball equipment to adhere to the standards of 120x80 and 120x90 cm for basketball training backboards, which corresponds to a size of 48 inches for American manufacturers.
