Basketball Hoop Installation – Goalrilla
INSTALLING YOUR GOAL
Never installed a basketball goal before and not sure where to start? Not a problem. Regardless of where you purchased your hoop, you’ll have the option of installing it yourself or paying a professional to do it for you. The following article will walk you through the steps.
The following videos will walk you step-by-step through the process of installing an in-ground basketball goal.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Average Cost of a Basketball Hoop (2022)
Francis Locknear Sports
Since its invention in 1891, basketball has been one of the most popular sports in the world. Today, you can find basketball courts in almost every playground, school, and backyard. To obtain the true essence of basketball, you must have a high-quality basketball hoop. If you’re considering buying a basketball hoop or two, the price is one of the factors to consider.
Topics
How Much Do Basketball Hoops Cost? $400 to $500
In the world of basketball hoops, there are different types of systems that look similar but differ largely in prices. The prices vary based on several aspects like the type and height of the basketball hoop, the materials and size of the backboard, type of rim, type of pole, and the type of brand. You can expect to pay an average of $400 for a high-quality one. Basketball hoops are also available at different price points, from low-price hoops under $100 to high-cost hoops that cost over $500.
The table below breaks down the basketball hoop cost for a few typical basketball systems. We’ve highlighted whether the basketball hoops listed are fitted for a beginner, intermediate, or expert.
Cost of Different Types of Basketball Hoops
There are two main types of basketball systems to choose from, and they each have their unique features and price point. Generally, there are portable basketball hoops and in-ground basketball hoops. Here’s what you should expect to pay for each type:
Average Cost of a Portable Basketball Hoop: $300
One of the most popular types of basketball hoops is the portable basketball hoop. Just like its name suggests, a portable hoop is portable such that you can conveniently take it apart, park it, and take it with you anywhere. Some models come with wheels for portability to easily move them around. Most come with height adjustability settings, which make them ideal for younger players who’re continually growing. You should expect to pay $300 on average for a high-quality and durable basketball hoop.
Average Cost of an In-ground Basketball Hoop: $400
The in-ground basketball hoops, also called outdoor hoops, are types of basketball hoops that come with supporting holes dug into the ground and supported by hard concrete. Compared to the portable hoops, in-ground hoops have more strength and stability. As such, their cost is relatively higher. They are ideal for schools and outdoor settings. You should expect to pay $400 on average for a high-quality and durable basketball hoop.
Another way of narrowing down your search for a basketball hoop is by comparing different brands. The following are the three most popular basketball hoop brands:
Spalding: $400 to $1,000
One of the most popular brands of basketball hoops on the market is Spalding. The company manufactures the official hoops and basketballs used in most professional leagues around the globe. They sell different types of basketball hoops at different price points, including low-price over-the-door mini hoops that cost under $50 to high-cost glass in-ground hoops that cost $1,499-$1,899.
One of the brands that can compete with Spalding in terms of durability is Lifetime. The company is the worlds’ largest manufacturer of consumer-end basketball systems. As such, Lifetime offers a greater variety of basketball hoops to help beginners, intermediates, and experts find the ideal one for just about any budget. Prices range from $40 for mini hoops to $1,699 for tempered glass in-ground hoops.
If there is one brand that could rival Spalding in terms of high-quality portable basketball hoops, it would be Silverback. The company manufactures professional-grade portable basketball hoops that are not only innovative, but also easy to setup. The manufacturer also offers different types of basketball hoops at different price levels. Silverback portable basketball hoops are, however, considered a bit pricier than other models, at nearly $500 on average.
Should You get a Portable or In-Ground Basketball Hoop?
Choosing between a portable vs. in-ground basketball hoop can be hard because both types have pros and cons. To help determine which type is best suited for you, you should answer the following three questions:
Where will you use the hoop? If you want to use it on a permanent court, then an in-ground basketball might be ideal. If you need to move the hoop around at certain times, then a portable hoop might be a perfect choice.
Who’ll be using the hoop? You want to choose a hoop that’s designed to withstand the forces being applied to it. For expert-level players, an in-ground hoop is best. For kids, you can go for a portable hoop with adjustable height.
What’s your budget? Basketball hoops are priced differently. Those made using heavier materials by more established brands demand a bigger budget from customers. Depending on your budget and needs, you can determine whether to choose a portable or in-ground hoop.
Summary
Whether you want a basketball hoop set up on your driveway, backyard, or in your room, you have to determine what amount you can afford to spend to buy a type and brand that suits your needs. With many different types of hoops from different brands to choose from, choosing a hoop that you can afford won’t be an intricate task after all.
How to equip a basketball court in the country or in the yard
Basketball develops the child's physical abilities - coordination, endurance, develops strong-willed qualities, concentration, attentiveness and teaches non-standard thinking. Professionals recommend sending a child to the basketball section from the age of 8-9, but outside the city or in the yard, you can “chase the ball” from an early age.
I myself equipped a basketball court in my country house and now I am ready to share the secrets of its arrangement. I'll tell you what you need to do, how to choose the right equipment and how to care for it.
Prepare basketball court surface
To create a basketball court in accordance with all the rules, you need to select a flat horizontal surface for it and fill it with concrete. After that, I recommend applying a special rubber coating, like on playgrounds in the yard. There is a more expensive coating option - from rubber.
The coating will provide cushioning - the ball will bounce well.
If it is not possible to organize a special platform, you can simply place a rack or hanging basket on a dirt surface. In this case, the ball bounce will not be so strong. An important requirement for safety: the surface must be flat, without holes and bumps.
The dimensions of the site depend on the features of your yard or plot in the country. A full-fledged basketball court has dimensions of 28 × 15 meters. However, not everyone has the opportunity to build such a site in the country.
It is necessary to take into account the technical features of the game. The three-point line in basketball is 6.75 meters from the hoop. Therefore, it is necessary that the size of the site be at least 10 × 13 meters. If you are not going to train three-point shots, a 5 × 5 meter court will do.
Mark out
The second step is to mark up. It is important to use paints of contrasting colors. It is better to buy paints with a high content of rubber or polymer.
If you are equipping a basketball court for children, make the markings bright so that they cheer you up and attract attention. For the game of teenagers and adults, it is better to immediately apply technically correct markings.
Place a small fence or protective net on the site. Thanks to them, you do not have to constantly run after the ball to the other end of the site.
Buy stand or backboard
It is difficult to answer the question of what is better - a basketball stand or a backboard. It all depends on taste, tasks and opportunities. Each of these types of equipment has its pros and cons.
There are two types of racks: mobile and static. The static one is mounted in the ground.
The base of the mobile rack is filled with sand or water - for stability. The main advantage of a mobile rack is that it can be moved from place to place. This is convenient when there is no dedicated basketball court or if you are going to play other games in this area, such as tennis or football.
The main requirement for racks is their stability. It will be much more comfortable and safer to play if you are sure that the stance will withstand a blow of any force.
Pay attention to the materials from which the racks are made. A static rack will be outdoors throughout the year, which means it must be made of reliable materials. It is better to buy racks from well-known manufacturers. So, the American companies Spalding or Royal Fitness guarantee high quality, durability and safety.
Basketball backboards can be made in the country with your own hands from a board, chipboard or plywood remnants. If this option does not suit you, you can purchase semi-professional or professional options in stores.
There are four types of materials from which the shield surface is made: composite, polycarbonate, acrylic and tempered glass. The first one is the cheapest. It is intended for entry-level players. Now manufacturers offer a large selection of colors. A carbonate backboard will provide a good bounce of the ball. An acrylic shield is bought to hold competitions or intense games.
The mobile stand can be moved, so it is suitable for a playground in the country and for those who want to play other games besides basketball
Shields and racks made of tempered glass look solid. They will be appreciated by experienced basketball players
Pay attention to rings
You can buy cheap rings, but I don't recommend doing that. In a year they will deteriorate and you will have to buy new ones. Basketball hoops from Spalding and Royal Fitness are made from quality metal that won't rust in the rain.
The ring must have a springy structure - no rigid attachment to the shield.
According to NBA rules, the ring must be fixed at a distance of about three meters from the ground. For a game with the participation of younger students, it can be hung lower so that it is not very easy to hit it, but at the same time it is quite possible.
Choose rings made from high quality metal to last for many years. For a game involving adults and teenagers, metal chain rings are suitable. They are distinguished by durability and strength.
Know what types of basketballs exist
Success in the game depends on the basketball.
They are divided by size. Size 7 is for men, 5 for women. Even smaller balls are bought for children. The size 6 ball is suitable for street ball or street basketball where the game is played on half the field.
You also need to take into account where you will play the ball: on the street or in the hall. The street ball has a stronger bounce, it is harder and more wear-resistant, but the indoor ball is more convenient to hold in your hands.
It is important to pay attention to the composition of the basketball. Well-known companies use complex polymer compositions for its production. The more expensive the ball, the more complex the polymer composition. The quality of the material determines how comfortable it will be for the players to hold the ball, what kind of rebound it has from the floor and from the bow of the ring.
Another important nuance: do not forget to purchase a pump with any needle.
If you want the ball to have good grip and bounce well, you need to choose polymer models from world famous manufacturers
Proper care
Professional athletes are ready to play in any weather, but amateurs are better off not following their example. If you don't properly store, use and care for your basketball arsenal, its lifespan will be shortened. Humidity will ruin the ball and all equipment, so you can’t leave them outside during rain and snow.
Balls should be stored only in a dry and ventilated room at a temperature of 10 to 20 °C.
Before winter storage, water must be poured out of the base of the mobile rack, and then removed from the street. If you don't feel like doing this every time, fill the rack with sand. Then it will not need to be constantly moved. Basketball stands from Royal Fitness can be left outside in the winter.
Points to remember when setting up a basketball court
The area needs to be determined. The classic version - 28 × 15 meters - is not suitable for everyone. For a dacha, a 5 × 5 meter area will be enough if you want to train three-point shots.
Don't forget the markup. It should be in a contrasting color. Bright colors will interest children and cheer them up.
It is necessary to install a protective net so as not to constantly run after the ball to the other end of the area.
If the shield is stable, then it is safe. A mobile stand from a well-known manufacturer will also not let you down, and it can be moved around the site.
When choosing a basketball, you need to focus on the players. For games involving children and adults, balls of different sizes are needed.
If you want a basketball ring that doesn't rot in a year and you don't have to spend money on buying a new one, choose rings from well-known manufacturers made of high quality metal.
Don't forget about care. Do not leave equipment and inventory on the street. Racks need to be removed to the house for the winter.

Basketball backboard - miss protection
Perfect Shot: The ball hits the basketball backboard and goes straight into the basket.

It is a rectangular, less often square, plane with special markings and a basket mount.

A basketball hoop should be, above all, safe to use, especially if it is a children's item.

A particularly difficult case - an inclined plane - will not become an obstacle to the reliable fixation of the backboard in the most suitable place for the game.
The importance of a backboard for a basketball hoop cannot be overestimated, but it is unlikely that you will be able to score a three-pointer if the sports equipment is not properly installed. To master the techniques of a beautiful game, training to hit the basket with twisted balls, use the stance selected on the Sports League website. She won't let you down!
The Perfect Basketball Post for the Winning Game
Buying a basketball hoop is the first decision you will make on your path to a sports career. And you can start it from an early age, because this game is suitable for everyone - from young to old.

Here are some undeniable advantages that convince you to buy a basketball hoop on a stand:
Mobility. Using such equipment, you can organize a playground in any place suitable for playing basketball, and take everything you need for away matches. In addition, if bad weather catches you, you can continue training indoors, taking the rack with you.
Reliability. As a rule, a basketball stand is initially sold with a suitable ring that is well fixed on it. At the base is a tank filled with water or sand.
Compact. When the season for street sports is closed, the rack is stored in a secluded place without cluttering up the space. Choose an ergonomic stand or a basketball backboard, which is sold by the Liga Sport online store. The catalog contains a large selection of folding models.
To everyone who chooses a stand and decides to buy a basketball hoop, Kyiv will open the doors of the All-Ukrainian tournaments!
Basketball net: precise targeting among a wide range of
The basketball basket must be equipped with a net, because this way you can clearly see the ball hitting the ring and not miss the winning shot. The Liga Sport online store offers a wide selection of such seemingly simple equipment. This is due to the fact that basketball baskets are made from different materials, have different cell diameters and thread thicknesses. These parameters affect their wear resistance and the course of the game.
The devices on which the basketball net is attached should not have sharp edges, but reliable fixation is required. For the rest, the choice is yours: for amateur games, models made of nylon are suitable, for professional games, a nylon mesh made of thicker threads will be the best choice. The Liga Sport online store offers only high-quality and durable products for sale.
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.
When mixing concrete in these temperatures, regardless of type, use hot water.
These blankets look more tarp-like and usually come in rolls.
If pouring concrete for both at the same time, add an expansion joint in between.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Always be sure to ask before agreeing to any installation and see the certificate of insurance for general liability.
