Safety Information
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury, death, or property damage.
- Do not install or use this system without carefully reading all instructions.
- Consulting a licensed contractor or structural engineer prior to installation is highly recommended.
- Minimum three people required for installation.
- Do not hang or climb on the rim or backboard.
- Inspect system before each use.
Before You Begin
We strongly recommend consulting a licensed contractor or structural professional to determine the appropriate anchoring system for your specific wall construction. Improper installation or mounting to an inadequate structure may result in system failure, which could cause property damage, serious injury, or death. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damage or injury resulting from improper installation or insufficient structural support.
Installation Requires
- 3 capable adults
- Ability to safely lift components weighing up to 106 lbs (48 kg)
- Estimated installation time: 2-3 hours
Tools Required (Not Included)
- Hammer drill (for concrete or masonry installations)
- Appropriate drill bits (based on wall type)
- 4 ft level
- Tape measure
- Socket set and wrench set
- Torque wrench
- Ladder
- Safety glasses
Improper mounting can result in serious wall damage, severe personal injury, or death. The bracket must be anchored to a structural wall backing capable of supporting the full dynamic load of play.
The mounting surface behind your wall finish must be able to support the full dynamic load of play. Verify your wall type before purchasing fasteners.
Suitable Backing
- Solid concrete (min. 4" thick)
- Reinforced concrete masonry units (CMU / cinder block)
- Solid brick (structural, not veneer)
- Wood framing with 2×6 or larger studs, 16" or 24" on center
- Steel I-beam or structural steel column
Not Suitable
- Drywall or plaster alone (no structural framing behind)
- Brick veneer without solid backing behind it
- Paneling, siding, or stucco without structural substrate
- Hollow-core or non-load-bearing walls
- Metal stud framing (consult a licensed contractor)
Structural Mounting Requirements
This system must be installed into a structurally sound wall capable of supporting dynamic loads generated during play (minimum 1,000 pounds of downforce.) The installer is solely responsible for verifying:
- Wall structural integrity
- Proper anchor selection
- Compliance with local building codes

Minimum Backing Thickness
Proper Wall Backing for Sheetrock Walls
During framing: Have a carpenter install backing inside the designated stud cavities before sheetrock is finished.
Retrofit (finished room): If backing is missing behind existing sheetrock, install 2"x10" or 2"x12" clear lumber horizontally on the outside of the wall. Boards must be doubled to allow sufficient anchor engagement and cut long enough to fasten into 3 studs. LVL (laminated veneer lumber) is also permitted.
- Locate the center of the wall that the hoop is going on.
- From the floor, measure 88" and 120" and fill this entire area with 2"x10" or 2"x12" clear lumber that is defect free from knots, cracks, warping, or cuts.
- Backing must fill the entire stud cavity from front to back and be a minimum 3 inches thick.
- Make sure all backing is installed horizontally and properly secured to a stud.
- The basketball bracket is 17 3/4" wide. Make sure there is proper backing in all stud cavities that are in this area.
- The backing must be able to withstand 1,000 lbs of downward force. Consult a structural engineer for assistance.
- If there is a ledge on the wall where the hoop will be installed, the wall must have a box build-up from the ledge to reach the required backing height. The bracket must be flush on the wall.
Proper Wall Backing for Concrete Walls
- Concrete walls that are solid 8 inches thick and built at the correct height of the hoop do not need additional backing. If concrete walls are not 8" thick, consult a structural engineer.
- If the concrete wall does not go up all the way to meet the required backing height specifications, proper backing must be added above the concrete to reach the backing specifications.
- The backing must be able to withstand 1,000 lbs of downward force. Consult a structural engineer for assistance.
Hollow or Cinderblock Walls
Consult a structural engineer before installing any portion of this product.

Final Inspection
Before using the system for the first time, perform the following checks. Do not use the system if any components appear loose, damaged, or improperly installed.
- Verify that all nuts, bolts, and fasteners are fully tightened.
- Confirm that the wall frame is securely anchored and does not move when force is applied.
- Ensure all pivot points move freely without binding.
- Raise and lower the system through the full height range to confirm smooth operation.
- Confirm that the rim and backboard are level and properly aligned.
Routine Maintenance
Environmental conditions, usage frequency, and exposure to elements can affect the performance and lifespan of your basketball system. Factors such as moisture, salt, fertilizers, pesticides, and general wear may contribute to corrosion or component fatigue. To ensure safe operation, inspect the system regularly and perform the following maintenance checks.
Hardware Inspection
- Periodically inspect all nuts, bolts, and mounting hardware.
- Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Inspect threads and replace any damaged hardware.
Structural Inspection
- Inspect all frame components, arms, and mounting brackets for signs of excessive wear, bending, or damage.
- Replace any damaged or excessively worn components immediately.
Rust and Paint Protection
- Inspect all metal components for rust, corrosion, chipped paint, or exposed metal.
- If corrosion or paint damage is present, clean the affected area and apply rust protection and touch-up paint as needed.
- If rust or corrosion has penetrated any structural component, discontinue use immediately and replace the affected parts.
Replacement Parts
- Use only manufacturer-approved replacement parts.
- Use of non-approved components may cause system failure, resulting in serious injury or property damage, and will void the product warranty.
- For replacement parts or assistance, contact customer support.
