Setting up a new basketball hoop can be a bit of a challenge. If you’ve decided to go with a more permanent approach as opposed to a mobile hoop, there are a couple options. Installing a permanent pole in the ground, or getting a wall mount for the hoop and installing it on the garage, the house, or a wall.
To install a basketball hoop on the garage, you will need a basketball hoop wall mount and compatible basketball backboard and rim. Set the height of the rim to the ground at 10 feet, and draw a free throw line 15 feet from the hoop to comply with NBA regulations for a more realistic practice.
Install Basketball Hoop Cement
Hi this is a video to show how to Wall Mount a SKLZ Pro Mini hoop I used a standard for this one. This method works only on drywall and not on a stud. Measure 10 feet from the floor or ground, up the wall, and make a mark with a pen. Standard regulations require that the hoop on a backboard be 10 feet from the ground, though you may wish to lower. Need a metal basketball hoop to be mounted to an external backyard brick wall. Hoop must be located at the approx correct height for a basketball hoop, which is 10 feet, or 3m We have an existing free standing hoop which is to be removed and discarded (See my many other tasks) - and this new hoop will replace it.
That sounds simple enough right? Well, there’s a bit more to it so I will go into more detail about the planning, set up, and installation so keep reading.
Best Wall Mounted Basketball Hoop
If you already have a basketball wall mount set, then great, let’s jump into the steps. If you haven’t selected a hoop yet, I recommend at least a 54″ wide backboard for a two car driveway sized area, like this Silverback 54″ Wall Mounted Basketball Hoop Set (link to Amazon).
Smaller areas can get away with smaller backboards, but it’s best to get as close to regulation size as possible for training purposes.
