Basketball Hoop Installation

Basketball Hoop Installation

Cornerstone Courts delivers a smooth, 3-pointer when it comes to basketball hoop installation services! That’s because we have a professional team that impeccably installs basketball hoops in backyards, garages, or any open space indoors or outdoors! Your dream of having your own basketball hoop is just a call away as you can trust us to do provide you with outstanding basketball hoop installation you can ever have!

We have been responding to the growing market demand for customised courts and basketball hoops. Our installation service for an outdoor basketball hoop has never been in demand as ever. Many residential properties offer ample space that can accommodate the installation of a half court basketball. But if you’re not sure about the size that can fit your open space, we can customise the best dimensions for your basketball court and basketball hoop.

Construction & Installation

Construction and installation of basketball hoops depend on many things. Here are some of the things you need to consider:

Space. More than the open ground in your property, the space around the basketball hoop should allow the hoop to be raised to its full height without hitting objects like tree branches, etc.

Hoop Type. If you’re looking for a hoop that just serves its function, portable ones are a no-brainer. They’re inexpensive and can be stowed easily. But if you’re considering to build a court (regardless of its size), you might want to have an in-ground hoop installed.

Backboard material. Mostly, the material used for backboards are either tempered glass or plexiglass. Their durability prevent it from shattering. Other materials available are made of glass, acrylic, polycarbonate, and PVC. Again, if you’re after durability, tempered glass or acrylic is best for your hoop.

Installation Warranty

At Cornerstone Courts, we provide you with a 6-year warranty on our installation services. The installation work we do includes preparing/digging the footing, leaving it to cure, and assembly and installation of the hoop. Needless to say, we’re confident that our basketball hoop installation will stand the test of time, hence the long warranty period.

You also can depend on our top-notch customer service and support once you tap us to install your basketball hoop. We offer you a full project-managed solution so you don’t have to worry a thing! You can just wait it out and once work is done, you’re ready to play ball with your family and friends! For enquiries, details, limitations, and other conditions, give us a call on 1300 945 116 or book a free consultation today!

FAQ's

1.  Do you Install the court tiles?

Yes we sure do, a flat $15/m2 for install for smaller courts, pricing is cheaper for larger courts, refer to our pricing section

2.  Do you Install the Hoops?

Of course, refer to our Install and pricing section for the in ground hoops.  If you are purchasing a portable hoop in addition to a court we can also assemble this for you, simply ask us for a price.

3.   What type of surface do I need?

Preferable a concrete slab/base is the best, however asphalt will also suffice.   If you have an old tennis court that is in good nick that could also work.  These systems are not suitable to put on grass, crushed rock or anything else.

4.  Does Cornerstone Courts provide a slab?

Yes of course we can arrange this, being a property group this is easy!  Would would need to arrange a site visit as there are a number of factors at play.  Typically a 100mm slab with SL72 mesh would be suffice

5.  What is the warranty on the court tiles & Hoops?

  • 8 years for the tiles
  • 12 months for hoops
  • 12 months for logos and lines (discretion can be used an easily touched up)
  • 6 years in ground hoop installation

6.  What happens if I break or damage a tile?

Every order we fulfil always comes with a few spare tiles for this very need!  If there is more damaged or required we are also receiving orders from our supplier so replacements are no issues

7.  Can I view the products?

We have a court & hoop set up in our Port Melbourne warehouse you can demo the surface (bookings required) and we can also arrange sample tiles to view

8.    Is there any maintenance required?

No, all you need to do is sweep or hose any dirt, leaves and debris away and the unique drainage system will take care of the water.  The lines and markings will fade over time and may need repainting.

9.  Can you provide netting and landscaping?

Yes, we can provide a total packaged solution for you

10.  What tools do I need if I am installing my own tiles?

You can get away without any tools (using your foot to lock the tiles in works well!) however we do recommend using a rubber mallet.  You can pick one up at bunnings for $5 if you don’t have one

We do recommend pinning (anchoring) the court down with some Ramset Shure drive anchors (Nailed into the concrete) if your tiles are installed on a smooth surface as it will move around a little with play.  As the tiles are essentially plastic they will also expand on contract with the weather, this is normal.

11.  The perimeter gaps between my court and my edge of slab or building keep changing, is this normal?

Yes, as the tiles are essentially plastic they expand and contract (heat & cool) with the weather and thus you will notice some differences.  Unless the slab has been prepared for the exact court size we also leave a slight buffer around the perimeter.

12.  My court moves when being used?

This is quite normal as it is not fixed to the slab at all.  If this is annoying or you want to lock it down we would recommend using some Ramset Shure Drive anchors to fasten the tiles to the slab.  We would only recommend doing this on one edge (the baseline edge)

13.  If I buy a 2nd court for my friend or family can we get it cheaper?

Unfortunately not, as we have a price beat and our prices are low our price is our price.  We work of small margins and keep prices low so all families can afford a court!

Court Installation Info & Pricing

The court tiles are designed to be easy to install by one person

The system includes a plurality of interconnected floor sections. Each floor section includes a wear layer, an upper subfloor panel, a lower subfloor panel and a plurality of parallel spacers sandwiched between the upper and lower subfloor panels. The parallel spacers extend into the recesses of adjacently located floor sections, alongside the corresponding spacers of those floor sections, along the longitudinal sides. At the transverse sides, each section has a spacer that extends into an adjacently located section in the same row and also receives a spacer from an adjacently located section in the same row. The sections have hardware connections that are concealed from view, and connecting each subsequent section will be quite easy

Our install pricing is a standard $15/m2 for metro Melbourne (up to 30 mins travel time based on peak travel times) for all courts up to approx. 165m2 (the 3 on 3 court), then a reduced price for half and full courts

Follow the below tips for your DIY Install;

  • Use your approved mock up diagram as the basis for your install (tiles are not numbered or ordered at all)
  • Start by removing all the tiles from the packaging and assorting or laying the tiles out flat into colours, line markings etc (kind of like doing a jigsaw puzzle)
  • Remember to leave at least 50mm gap from your edges so that the border tiles can be installed last
  • Start with the outer (end) pieces of the court (just like a jigsaw) and then work your way in once the perimeter is done
  • Simply clip the tiles in together (interlocking system and can only go one way) and tap with a mallet to complete the interlocking
  • If you need to take a tile/s up simply bend them in a convex way and they will unclip easily
  • It’s important to get the perimeter right first as once the floor is all locked together it can be tough to move
  • Tiles simply clip together, we recommend using a rubber mallet to clip them in
  • Ones all tiles have been laid (before the border/edge tiles) you can choose whether to anchor the floor to the slab to prevent movement or leave it as floating.  Generally you only need to use anchors if the slab or surface is smooth.  If you have a broom finished slab or even painted slab this isn’t necessary.  Simply hammer in some Ramset Shure Drive Anchors along the baseline edge (do not do on multiple edges! the the holes in the interlocking tile ends
  • Install edge/border tiles last to complete

In Ground Hoop Installation Info & Pricing

We first preface this by saying unless you are a capable DIYer or have someone that is, or a tradie we don’t recommend doing this yourself.  Incorrect installation of Basketball Hoops has taken many children’s lives and it’s not something a “She’ll be right attitude’ can be applied to!  At some point in time the kids will lower the hoop and start dunk contests with their friends so the correct installation is vital!

If you are going to do this yourself please see below our minimum recommendations;

If you would like the professionals (us) to install it with a 6 year warranty on the install (you have made a good decision!) then this will set you back around $2300.00.  This includes preparing/digging the footing, leaving to cure and then assembling and installing your hoop.  This is based on metro Melbourne (standard 30 mins travel time) and level easy site access (wheel barrow access to hoop location)  For more complex installs these can be priced on application
