Portable Basketball Hoop

Who doesn’t love the game, right? But given that there are limitations to installing in-ground basketball hoops, you can always turn to a portable basketball hoop. It’s just a question of what the best one is for your requirements!

Having said that, what are the standard requirements for a portable basketball hoop? What do you need besides an open space in your property to have it installed? Read on and find out all about it before choosing to buy the best portable basketball hoop that you think fits your needs.

First thing first: do you have ample space for a portable basketball hoop? Is the open space level enough? Typically, portable basketball hoops can be found in open yards or driveways. But for just shooting hoops, having one in a driveway may be enough.

Before You Buy

If you’ve got the space requirements down pat, then here are some other things to consider when choosing from a wide array of portable basketball hoops:

o Portability. While many portable basketball hoops claim they are portable enough, are they really? Check out if they’re easy to move once installed; some have wheels so you can easily roll them to where you want them to be while other units do not—you have to carry them. Can you stow them easily? This means they should either be easily disassembled or have a mechanism to lower the backboards.

o Adjustability. Are the backboards adjustable so you can customise it to the height you need? This allows adults and children to play ball with ease. The best portable hoops have adjustable boards from the regulation height of 10 ft. down to as low as 7.5 ft. If they do have adjustable boards, are they easy to adjust? And do they stay locked and secured once you’ve adjusted them fully to your requirements?

o Durability. This is where the stability and weight of the whole set come into play. The kind of durability you’re looking for depends on who’s going to use it. Children may use a lightweight portable basketball hoop but teenagers and adults play aggressively. You’ll need something stronger and stable for them to use.
