What do I need to install a backboard, rim, and net?
To install these on a solid surface such as a wall, you'll need nuts and bolts, a socket set, drill, and ladder. If you're mounting it on a stand, you'll just need nuts and bolts with the tools to tighten them.
How high should I install a basketball backboard, rim, and net?
In regulation basketball, the top of the rim should be 10 feet above the playing surface. This is the most-used height, though some hoops can be mounted lower for children, or mounted on an adjustable stand.
How do I install a basketball backboard, rim, and net?
You may need a universal mount if you're not attaching the hoop and backboard to a stand. The mount can be secured to walls and other surfaces, then the backboard and hoop can be bolted to it. Installing on a stand just requires nuts and bolts. Indoor nets can simply be hung over a door.
