But while a portable system may ultimately be your best choice, there are reasons you may want to consider an in-ground or wall-mount system before you decide.In-Ground Systems In-ground systems are permanently cemented into the ground--either via a bolt mounting kit or directly into the ground-- and are generally more rigid and take up less space than portables. In-ground systems often require that you hire a professional to complete the task, but when the cement dries you'll have a hoop that can take punishing dunks with ease. Many in-ground systems are height-adjustable, include removable post features that let you take the system down for off-season storage, and feature heavy-duty break-away rims. You'll also want to research the adjustable mechanisms on the systems, as there are several types to choose from. Some feature a counter-balance spring that lets you perform easy, one-hand adjustments while others may feature a sturdy, pneumatic system.Wall-Mount Systems Wall-mount systems can be mounted to the side of a house, a tall retaining wall, or a garage. Generally sturdier than portables, wall-mounts have the added advantage of optimizing your existing ground space for the court, since you won't take any space up with the base or pole. Not all systems include the necessary hardware, so make certain you add a mounting kit to your list.Portable Systems Portable systems require minimal installation and offer ultimate convenience. These systems generally feature a base that can be filled with sand or water to stabilize them and include wheels for portability. Although they are not as sturdy as in-ground or wall-mounted hoops, portables are simple to set up and can often be folded for convenient storage.Backboard Considerations Regardless of which system you choose, you'll want to brush up on Backboards 101. Most residential systems feature backboards made of acrylic, fiberglass, graphite, or various other composite materials. While clear acrylic gives the professional look and feel of glass, it is not as rigid as fiberglass or graphite. Some systems may offer steel or aluminum backboards, which are virtually vandal resistant, but don't offer the true rebounding action. The regulation size of an NBA backboard is 72 inches wide and 42 inches high. Most portable hoops are 42 or 44 inches wide and 36 inches tall. In-ground systems tend to be a bit larger, with 54-inch and 60-inch widths being the most popular. While rectangular shaped backboards provide more bank shot opportunities, they are generally more expensive than the streamlined fan-shaped board.

  • Great inexpensive option for street hoop
*The Pitch*: I haven’t had a basketball hoop in front of my house in 20 years. So I didn’t want to spend a lot in case I ended up not using it that much. *The Package*: This is a retail package. It’s a large bound cardboard box with black print. *The Fit*: This is a great starter hoop. At under $150, I’m pretty pleased with this purchase. The entire goal was relatively easy to put together. I did it by myself in about 1.5 hrs. Just be careful with it once it’s fully constructed but before you add water or sand to the base. It is pretty wobbly in this state. I will also add that I chose to fill the base with water and an added BaseGel polymeric stabilizer. It was MUCH easier than adding sand, and due to the way it evenly solidified, I feel like it’s more stable overall. I have no issues with wavering or moving during play. The ball does feel a little less springy when bouncing off the backboard, but that is to be expected with just about any portable hoop. It’s not particularly noticeable, and it doesn’t affect gameplay. *The Good*: Easy to build and relatively inexpensive. *The Bad*: Rebounding balls are a little less springy, but only a little. The backboard is a little small (but every goal in this price range was the same size) *The Bottom Line*: I researched basketball goals for a week before I settled on this one. I was worried about the quality due to the low cost, but it has a very high overall rating for a reason. I don’t think you can buy a better hoop for the money. ... show more

  • Best hoop under $300
This basketball hoop is fantastic for the price, it's good and sturdy, very solid, and looks good. The backboard is a great size for the price range again, it's the only part that seems a little flimsy/ cheap, but after testing it out fairly throughly it seems solid. Adjusts from 7 1/2 to 10 ft, it's not particularly easy to adjust it, you really need to be an adult to do it, and a reasonably strong man to do it alone, but two people no problem. Honestly though it's not something that I really adjust very often so it doesn't bother me, especially to get an easy adjusting hoop would cost you an extra 100 bucks more. Got this hoop for $160 in sale, after seeing it I would easily be willing to spend $220 or so on it. Lastly it has kind of confusing directions, but excellent online video directions, just follow along with those. ... show more

  • Great Portable Basketball Hoop
This is a very good recreational basketball hoop that is portable. The base is the type that can be filled with water to sturdy the pole, rim, and backboard. I have found that it works very well by placing sandbags on the base. That way you get the weight you need to anchor it and can just take the sand bags off the base and wheel the hoop back into storage when needed. The assembly is very easy and once assembled the height adjustment is smooth and straight forward. The 44" backboard is the perfect size for this kind of hoop. While not regulation, it is much larger than most of this kind and is easy to find a place to store. Also, the backboard is thick clear acrylic which is a nice touch. The rim is fine and provides good feedback from the ball, but just make sure that if you are dunking do not hang on it. It's great for neighborhoods like mine that do not allow basketball hoops to be ground mounted or stay outside for more than a few days at a time. I use it for pick up games with other adults. Also, I let my neighbor's children use it at their desired height. Overall, it has been a great hoop that is nice to play on and has held up very well over the past few years. For the price with shipping from Prime I am very happy. Having a package this large shipped to your front door is a big plus. ... show more

  • Well designed, functional
The instructions are pretty involved and when you get to the end (screwing in the hoop and the backboard, standing it up and filling it with water), you really do need two people but I just took my time and read the directions carefully and it all came together fairly easily. It's sturdy enough and the price is right, I have a functional basketball rim for about $200. If I see any design flaw (and honestly, not sure what else they could do), it's when you pop a 20 footer, nothing but net, the ball drops and often hits the base, shooting off in one direction or another. But not sure there's any other way to design a pole and rim like this. ... show more

  • Sturdy
Great hoop for a group of kids. Placed two 60lb tube sandbags on top of the base and it didn't budge even on the windiest day. Perfect size and height adjustable. Assembly wasn't very easy.

  • My son likes it...
The directions were pretty clear. I did almost the entire assembly. There were a couple times in the process when it was a little hard to do without any help. I wish they had warned me earlier in the directions that a couple metal bars were meant to bend: I freaked out when I took a brief break (and therefore let the partially assembled thing rest on the ground) and found that one of the pieces had bent. Well, that was the part meant to be bendable. For now, I have used the option to fill it with water. With water in it, it is fairly hard to move (yes, it has wheels, but the wheels engage only if the pole is partly tipped, and it is hard to tip it. That's the point, after all: when it is fully loaded, it should NOT tip). I would not recommend sand for anyone on the smaller size (like my wife and I) if you have any intention of ever wanting to move it. As it is, when I need to store it more safely in winter (when the winds pick up where I live), I will have to drain off some of the water (which won't be the easiest thing, but I imagine that removing sand would be far worse). It vibrates a little when the ball hits the backboard, but it won't interfere with playing. So while I give only 4 stars for each of "easy to assemble", "maneuverability" and "sturdiness", it basically does what I want (for my son), so I am happy for the cost. I have not had it long, but I will downgrade the rating only if something goes wrong. ... show more
