Basketball hoop - how to make a stand with a backboard with your own hands
Love basketball and want to make a hoop? I wanted to make it myself, not buy it, and I ended up making it.
It's pretty cheap, especially if you have some of the stuff you need to assemble.
Let's start assembling the basketball hoop with our own hands.
Step 1: Shape the Ring
The first thing you will need is a ring, I made it with 12mm rod, but it doesn't have to be that size. The standard diameter of a basketball hoop is 450 mm.
To make it flat you need something to wrap it around, this thing should be about 400mm in diameter.
I found an old car rim of the right size, you will need to clamp it to the table with a clamp using a piece of wood.
As shown in photo 2, place another clamp a little further from the first with a rod between them.
As shown in photo 3, slowly wrap the rod around the disk, once you wrap the rod and its edges overlap, cut off the straight ends.
Use a clamp to press the ends together, then weld them together.
To complete this part, place the ring on the ground and straighten out all the curves.
Step 2: Frame
- Bend a piece of flat metal, mine was 4mm thick.
- Weld it to a flat point in the ring.
- Cut two rods 320 mm long.
- Weld them as shown in the photo.
- Drill four holes to match your existing bolts.
- If you need a netball ring, you can simply attach it to the pole and skip the rest of the steps.
Step 3: Mesh Staples (Optional)

Do this step if you need mesh. If you need a network, you will have to buy it.
This step is not as difficult as it seems.
- cut 12 pieces of wire 90 mm long (I would recommend making a few spare parts, as they are easy to ruin.)
- bend them in the middle (it doesn't matter if the tips are the same length)
- clamp the wire in a vise with a steel rod at one end
- bend wire over rod
- repeat this with all parts of
- retighten the wire wrapped around the rod (see photo)
- bend it
- repeat with all parts
- retighten the wire wrapped around the rod
- bend it (at this point you can't just remove the wire from the rod - you will need to slide it to one of its edges and remove it from the edge)
- repeat with all parts of
- divide into 12 pieces and weld on the brackets
Step 4: Backboard
Cut the board to size.
My board does not fit the full size of basketball boards. (the second picture shows the dimensions of a standard shield).
My measurements are 1100mm wide, 700mm high and 25mm thick. (You don't have to be that size.)
Step 5: Paint the Shield
Once you've drawn all the lines on the shield, lay masking tape over them. If you try, everything will look neat.
If you are using MDF, you will need to take care to protect the edges from moisture (as shown in photo 2).
Carefully paint over the areas around the masking tape.
Remove masking tape after enough coats of paint have been applied and the board looks complete.
Step 6: Paint the ring
First you need to sand the metal. I used a grinding disc on a grinder.
The ring must not be black or white, it must stand out from the shield. Usually the ring is painted orange or red.
The easiest way to paint inventory is from a can.
Step 7: Assemble
Put it all together.
Screw the ring to the shield, hang a net on the ring.
Step 8: Installation
DIY Basketball Post is great to mount on a garage or house wall, but if you want to mount it on a pole, you can create one too.
I installed my ring in the yard using heavy duty wood screws.
A standard basketball hoop must be placed 3 meters from the ground.
I am not responsible for any damage you cause to yourself or your property - you make your own ring.
Successful throws!
Basketball hoop: dimensions, requirements
A large number of happy homeowners would like to make their yard even more comfortable and better by equipping it with a basketball stand. Taking into account that such sports equipment should be safe and as reliable as possible, and its service life should be far from one year, the process of choosing and buying it should be approached very responsibly.
Finding a store where you can buy a basketball hoop shouldn't be a problem.
However, in order to choose a high-quality product, it is necessary to have certain knowledge about the main types and technical characteristics of this equipment - especially since a very wide selection of these products is presented in stores today.
The basketball hoop can be fixed, i.e. rigid, or it can be spring-loaded, i.e. cushioned. The undoubted advantage of the latter is the excellent ability to extinguish the energy of the player hanging on the ring, and thus transfer only part of the load to the shield. This significantly extends the life of both the basketball hoop and the stand itself. And although such rings are several times more expensive than rigid models, they are much more reliable and durable, therefore, they save the owners from the need to constantly replace equipment.
If basketball is one of the family's favorite sports and is played quite often, this is the best choice. Such a basketball hoop will serve for a very long time and delight its owners with excellent performance and high quality.
Fixed models are a relatively cheap option and are most often used as a temporary solution. For example, the best solution would be to purchase a hard basketball hoop if the owners are going to move soon. Separately, it is worth emphasizing that for the production of modern fixed models, they are increasingly beginning to use durable and wear-resistant materials that can last for quite a long time.
In terms of the size of this sports equipment, as a rule, the diameter of the basketball hoop is 45 centimeters (for a standard size seven ball), and the height of the top edge is 305 centimeters above the level of the court. Models designed for children's balls have a circumference of 23.5 centimeters. In this case, it is a rather miniature basketball hoop. Children's equipment will be a great addition to any existing sports complex. Exercises with the ball perfectly train the hands, develop dexterity and attention. At any time, the child will be able not only to have fun and interesting leisure time, but also to develop their physical data.
