Basketball goals

We install, maintain and repair all basketball goals for sports halls, gymnasia and outside use.

Wall fixed basketball goals

We install basketball goals fixed to the wall in sports halls and gymnasia. These can be fitted flush to the wall or on projection brackets. We make any brackets required to fit these basketball goals to the existing building or structure. We install

  • Flush mounted basketball goals
  • Projecting basketball goals on 300mm, 600mm, 900mm and 1200mm extensions
  • These can incorporate the adjustable height backframe to allow Mini Basketball games as well

Wall hinged basketball goals

We install folding basketball goals with up to 4.7m projection in sports halls and gymnasia. We make any brackets required to fit these basketball goals to the existing building or structure. We install

  • Side hinged basketball goal projecting up to 3.7m with a diagonal brace for locking into place - a cost effective option for a folding goal. (check there is sufficient space for the goal to fold back without interfering with cricket nets or fixed PE apparatus)

  • Vertical hinged basketball goal projecting up to 4.7m with manual or electric winch - a cost effective option for long projections, does not interfere with cricket lanes when folded, is more stable for long projections (reduces board and ring movement), can be fitted to building columns without any cross beams

  • Unistem basketball goal projecting up to 7m with manual or electric winch. This is the ideal option where the goal projects from a spectator gallery as coupled with an acrylic backboard visual intrusion is minimised

Ceiling hinged basketball goals

We install folding basketball goals with up to 7m projection in sports halls and gymnasia which fold up into the ceiling. We make any brackets required to fit these basketball goals to the existing building or structure. We install

  • Forward folding basketball goals - these utilise a long arm hinged at the ceiling with the board set at the correct angle for any projection over 4.2m from an end wall. Goals are then lifted to the ceiling for storage with a manual or electric winch - an effective solution for large projections, an offset court, or where a side hinged basketball goal would interfere with other equipment eg cricket net lanes or wall fixed PE apparatus

  • Backward folding basketball goals - an alternative to the forward folding goals where ceiling fittings or services such as lights or heating prevent the former

  • Unistem forward folding basketball goals - an alternative to the standard forward folding goal where minimal steel work is required to improve spectator vision (where there is a balcony behind a goal). These can be fitted to steel work in the ceiling or at the top of a wall. These goals are more compact but need to be fixed to a structural beam or column

  • Unistem side hinged goal - a special adaptation for sports halls where ceiling structures or services or hall dimensions will not allow a conventional set up

Basketball goal winches and arrestors

We install manual and electric winches for operating basketball goals and safety arrestors. We install

  • Manual winches which are all self braked and are fitted at 2m height so as not to present an obstruction. For short lifts these work adequately but for higher lifts an electric winch makes life much easier

  • Electric winches which are fitted at ceiling height ideally to the goal hinge point. The winch can be operated by a switch or a remote control handset. A single phase spur must be provided within 1m of the winch location (for remote operation) or key switch (for switch operation)

  • Safety arrestors - all overhead goals should be fitted with an arrestor for safety

Freestanding basketball goals

We supply and install any anchors required for freestanding basketball goals. We supply

  • Freestanding competition folding basketball goals - a solid heavy weight goal for competitions where building structures will not permit a wall or ceiling hinged type. These are heavy and bulky units yet will fit through a double doorway

  • Freestanding practice basketball goals with small backboards and often with sand or water filled bases for stability. These are suitable for interior or exterior use but should never be left standing outside while not in use

 

External socketed basketball goals

We install basketball goals in the ground for external use. We install

  • Single post goals either concreted permanently into the ground or slotting into a socket which is concreted into the ground
