🔧 DIY Tips
Assembling yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Screwdriver
- Spanners
- Allen keys
- Sand for base
📐 Proper assembly
- Assemble base first
- Build up the pole
- Attach backboard and rim
- Fill base completely
- Adjust height
- Test stability
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Not filling base fully
- Placing on slopes
- Too close to windows
- Wrong height (too ambitious)
💡 Pro trick: Use play sand rather than builder's sand - it's cleaner and flows into the base easier through the fill hole.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
What basketball hoops do you assemble?
Kids' hoops - freestanding adjustable stands, door-mounted hoops, wall-mounted options. Most are designed for children aged 3-12 with height adjustment as they grow.
Do freestanding hoops need filling?
Yes - bases need sand or water for stability. Sand is heavier and doesn't evaporate, so we recommend that. We can fill it as part of setup.
Can the height be adjusted later?
Most kids' hoops are height-adjustable. We'll show you how to adjust it so you can raise the rim as your child grows.
Where's the best place for it?
Flat, hard surface ideally (driveway, patio). Grass works for lighter hoops but limits bouncing. Away from windows and cars is essential.
