Professional basketball hoop mounting - wall or pole-mounted hoops installed securely at the right height. Safe, stable shooting practice in your driveway or garden.
Hoops That Don't Wobble
A basketball hoop takes punishment - repeated ball impacts, hanging dunks, weather exposure. It needs mounting properly or it ends up loose, wonky, or on the floor.
💡 Pro tip: Adjustable height hoops are worth the extra cost - they grow with your children and you'll get years more use.

🔧 DIY Tips
Mounting yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Drill (masonry bit for brick)
- Spirit level
- Socket set
- Ladder
- Heavy-duty wall plugs
📐 Getting it right
- Check wall is solid enough
- Mark height carefully
- Use proper masonry fixings
- Get help lifting heavy hoops

- Test stability with ball impacts
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Undersized fixings
- Not checking wall solidity
- Backboard not level

Frequently Asked Questions
What surfaces can hoops be mounted on?
Brick walls, concrete posts, garage walls, purpose-built poles. The key is solid mounting that won't wobble when the ball hits the backboard.
What height should a kids basketball hoop be?
Depends on age - around 2m for young children, up to full regulation 3.05m for teens. Adjustable hoops let you raise the height as they grow.
Can I mount one on my garage?
Often yes - garage walls are usually solid enough. We check the brickwork and use appropriate fixings. Just bear in mind the noise of ball on backboard if someone's in the garage.
Do you supply the hoop?
You buy it, we mount it. That way you choose the style and budget that suits. We can advise on what mounts well if you ask before buying.
