THE BASICS

Knowing what's involved when installing your Mega Slam Hoop is important so you can have a lifetime of fun. Reference your model's specific manual for the exact details.

Pick the perfect spot where you want your hoop to live. Look at your model specs and consider the overhang distance (front of main pole to front of backboard) as it relates to your playing surface. Note: Call 1110 before you dig. Hitting a below-ground utility line by accident is no fun.

Installation FAQs

How do I install my Mega Slam?

You can install your own Mega Slam hoop or find a professional installer to help you. The back boards and basketball systems are quite heavy, so if you are up for the challenge of installing it yourself, make sure you have some friends along to help you get the job done.
