Basketball rims, or hoops, are orange painted goals attached to the backboard and used for scoring points in a game of basketball. Basketball rims today are designed as breakaway rims comprised of a hinge and spring that allow the rim to bend when a player dunks without shattering the backboard. The rim itself is made of a 5/8” | 1.6 cm steel diameter steel rod that is formed into a ring with an inner diameter of 18” | 45.72 cm. Basketball nets are hung from the bottom of the rim with lengths between 15”-18” | 38.1-45.7 cm. Basketball rims are mounted 10’ | 3.05 m from the court floor.

The mesh is attached to the circle at the same time in 12 places, avoiding the appearance of sharp edges, chips. This is necessary to prevent injury to players. Direct contact between the ring and the shield is unacceptable due to the possible appearance of external pressure, which can lead to the destruction of the structure.
The strength of the fastening must be checked using special tools. Poorly fixed parts can cause injury to athletes during the game process.

Important nuances
Each game is regulated by international rules, which also apply to the parameters of inventory :
basketball backboard dimensions - height 1.05 m, width 1.8 m;
distance between the ring and the shield - 15 cm;
size of the basketball field - 28 × 15 m;
the height of the basketball hoop is also standard - from the floor 3.05 m.
Basketball stand is made of high quality steel or heavy duty tempered glass. The second option is the most used among sports equipment manufacturers. Sometimes shields are made from less quality materials - plastic, fiberglass. Such products do not have a long service life, they are intended for fans who play basketball as a hobby.
The shield must be firmly attached to the supporting base strictly perpendicular to the floor plane. The design should not move under any external influence: throw, accidental contact. In order to avoid injury, it is upholstered with soft material.
The court can hold 1 or 2 boards depending on the size of the area and the type of game. For basketball in the classical sense, the size of the backboard and hoop remains virtually unchanged. They are installed at right angles parallel to the front lines at a distance of up to 120 cm. During the installation process, the structures comply with all technical safety requirements.
The main feature of the basketball hoop is the presence of soft upholstery with a thickness of 5 to 10 cm, due to which the manufacturer extends the life of individual parts.
According to the accepted rules, the size of the backboard for fixing the basketball hoop located on the same court should not differ from another by more than 5%. That is why you should order and install sports equipment at the same time. Before starting the game, it is necessary to check the reliability of fixing all the details.

Sizes of basketball backboards - Article
The official basketball rules set out the dimensions of basketball backboards, according to which the dimensions of this sports equipment are selected. You can find these rules in official documents on the site owned by 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 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 shields with dimensions 1.2x0.8 and 1.2x0.9m around such an inner rectangle there will be enough space 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 of measurement familiar to American manufacturers, used when marking 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 the 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.
