The 8 Best Basketball Hoops For Home – Guide

Playing with a basketball is a good pastime. So that you don’t always have to dribble the ball on the floor or go to a special sports ground, you can get your own basketball hoop at home. This way you can throw balls undisturbed and improve your throwing accuracy. The basket can also be placed in different locations.

To help you find the right basketball hoop for you, we have prepared a checklist for you. Our product recommendations also offer a good supplement, as you can compare different models in different price ranges.

Basketball Hoops Checklist

The different variants of basketball hoops
  • You can choose between basketball hoops for wall mounting and basketball hoops with a stand. In addition, there are also smaller models with fun factors, which you can use in the room, for example, with the help of a wastebasket. These miniature models are a cheerful pastime for in-between, but not serious sports equipment.
Basketball Hoops With Stand
  • From relatively expensive professional equipment to a simpler basketball hoop for children, the range here is wide. Above all, it is important that the hoop has sufficient stability.
  • There are basketball baskets that are firmly anchored to the ground or the much more flexible mobile version, which ideally has wheels. Mobile baskets have the advantage that you can use them at any location that offers a flat surface. After the game, you can store the basketball hoop in the garage, protected from wind and weather.
  • In addition, they have the advantage that many models allow you to adjust the height of the basket individually. So even smaller fans can practice dunking, but also ambitious players can train under tournament specifications.
  • Since the basketball hoop in the professional field must be mounted at a height of 3.05 meters, you should pay attention to a correspondingly large base. Practical are feet that can be filled with sand or water, which give the construction the necessary stability.
The basketball hoop for wall mounting
  • A basketball hoop that is firmly bolted to the wall is exposed to the respective weather conditions in summer and winter. Therefore, you should make sure that the material used is as weather-resistant as possible. Especially the nets are very vulnerable here. Therefore, it is a great advantage if you can easily replace them.
  • The assembly of a wall basket is usually a bit tricky. It is not so easy to install it at the exact height of 3.5 meters. It’s best to find a helper to assist you here.
The Backboard
  • With simpler models, a backboard is often completely omitted. This saves money, but does only limited justice to the fun of shooting baskets. It does not necessarily have to be a board in the tournament size of 1.80 x 1.05 meters, but it should not be too small either. We recommend a width of at least 1 meter.

FAQ: The Most Important Info About Basketball Hoops

What is a basketball hoop?

Whether you play basketball in your spare time or professionally, a real basketball game is not possible without a basketball hoop. The goal is to hit the basketball hoop with a suitable basketball and score a point.

What are the basketball hoops?

There are basketball hoops, which are mounted on the wall. In addition, there are also models with a stand or small miniature editions, which, however, are not suitable for real play.

How to fix a basketball hoop?

A basketball hoop can be attached to the wall with screws relatively easily. Baskets with a stand, on the other hand, you can put anywhere. This is very convenient, as the basket can thus be placed in the garage or basement in the winter. To prevent the basketball hoop from falling over too quickly, it should be filled with sand or water.

How much does a basketball hoop cost?

A basketball hoop can cost up to over 100 euros, depending on the equipment. Cheaper copies, however, you can also buy from about 40 euros.

How high should a basketball hoop hang?

A basketball hoop should be installed at a height of 3.0 or 3.5 meters, so that you can hit the basket optimally.

How big is a basketball hoop?

The board usually has a diameter of 0.45 meters. If the basketball hoop has a suitable board, on the other hand, it is usually 1.80 m wide.

What material is a basketball hoop made of?

A basketball hoop should be very robust if you want to fix it outside. This is the only way to ensure that it can withstand any weather conditions. Therefore, the basket itself consists of a steel ring, which is almost impossible to break. For this reason, it should have a diameter of at least 19 mm. Otherwise you run the risk that this quickly shows damage. The backboard should not be made of cheap plastic, because this tears quickly.

What is a backboard?

A backboard is the board that is located behind the basket. However, there are also models which do without this board. They can be useful because many walls are not flat and therefore the throw cannot be controlled. If you hit a certain angle, you can make the perfect throw.
