Good strong/durable hoop - what/where to buy

BoardsMember · 15-04-2020 11:48am #1

Hi - I bought a backboard & hoop set for one of the kids for Christmas. The hoop has already broken off from the plate that fixes it to the wall, so it's useless. I want to get a new one.

Anyone able to recommend what/where to buy? Will likely be online with things as they are. Hoop is going onto a garage wall, might be able to re-use the backboard, this is the thing I bought originally: https://www.mcsport.ie/p/basketball-vertical-backboard-with-hoop-and-net/n123205

I want something strong that will stand the test of time, that's the main feature I would be looking for.

I've always found the ones that you affix to a wall to be suspect for duration.

Things like this tend to be better: https://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/outdoor/basketball/front-court-basketball-stand/p/106808

can anyone advise on a replacement backboard and rim that can be attached to a round pole - this is the one that we have, it fell in a storm and backboard cracked.

I assumed it'd be easy enough to get a replacement, but the backboards i've seen are all for wall mounting.

OP here, I ended up buying from Elverys, one of these (they are out of stock now): https://www.daricia.ie/products/bh-basketball-ring-net-20mm?variant=31276435406932
It's very heavy/solid, still in one piece!

It's not compatible with pole hanging ablelocks.
