Goalrilla FT-54

Yes, the tempered glass is designed specifically for outdoor durability. It provides the same rigid, authentic rebound you would find on a competitive court while being built to withstand the elements.

Installing an in-ground hoop is a significant project that requires digging a hole and pouring concrete. You will need at least two people to assist with the assembly and mounting, and we recommend setting aside a full day to ensure the concrete cures properly before attaching the backboard.

The height adjustment mechanism is designed to be smooth and accessible, allowing the hoop to be set anywhere from 7.5 to 10 feet. While most children can operate the mechanism, younger players may need adult supervision to ensure it is locked securely at the desired height.

The 3-foot overhang is a standard distance that offers a good balance between stability and playability. It provides enough clearance for layups and post moves without sacrificing the structural integrity of the 5-inch steel pole.

The 13-gauge steel pole is engineered for stability and is significantly sturdier than entry-level options. While no in-ground system is completely immune to vibration, this construction minimizes shaking during bank shots and dunks.
