Before Installation
Check all parts are present!
Our factory takes every eort to make sure everything is packed in its proper place. But just in case a small part has gone
astray please make sure you check every piece is present before you begin installing - right down to the nuts and bolts.
Assemble with Care
Installation should be completed by two adults. Please make sure you follow all the instructions carefully. If you have any
questions during installation please do not hesitate to contact us on [phone] or email
[email protected]o.uk and we will be happy to advise.
Please make sure you read all the safety warnings and advice in this instruction manual. Take extra care and attention over
the ballasting instructions as this will make sure your equipment stands rm once you have completed the assembly. We
recommend the use of sand and water - if water is used anti-freeze is necessary to prevent the water from freezing and
cracking the base. Make sure you position the stand somewhere where there is plenty of space to play.
Using the Basketball Equipment
Improper installation or use of the basketball stand may cause damage to the stand or result in serious injury to the user.
We would advise that children are supervised at all times when using this product.
Do not use the stand in windy weather conditions - adjust to the lowest height and store to prevent any damage.
Please adhere to the warnings below to ensure proper use of this equipment and ultimately to ensure full enjoyment!
Weighing Down the Base
Making sure the base is weighted properly is very important for safety reasons.
We recommend lling your base with sand or a mixture of water and sand or ne gravel - to a total weight of 170kg.
To ll, simply remove the plastic plug/lid in the base and add water using a hose. To add sand or gravel, use a funnel - you
can create a make-shift funnel using a exible plastic board or thick glossy piece of cardboard.
If you are using water you must add anti-freeze to prevent the base from cracking during winter months. We would also
recommend adding an anti-algae solution to the water to prevent algae from growing inside the base (such as bleach or
chlorine).
Moving Your Basketball Stand
The stand must be moved by two adults capable of handling the weight of the stand - children should not be
allowed to move the stand.
Stand in front of the basketball system and pull the pole forward slowly until the system is balanced on the wheels in the
base.
Roll the stand carefully to the new location and slowly push the system back to a standing position.
Attaching the Basketball Net
When attaching the net to your basketball hoop, make sure you have
the net the correct way up. The wider loops/wider part of the net
should be at the top. Slide the loops of the net over the metal loops on
the inside of the basketball hoop - from the inside towards the
outside (see diagram 1). You can also see here a net that has been
assembled correctly and one that has been assembled upside down!

Assembling Your Stand

1Attach Ring to Backboard
You will need:
Hoop/Ring (part 2) 2 x Bolts, Nut & Washers J (M8 x 20mm)
Backboard (part 1) 2 x Bolts, Springs & Nuts K (M8 x 90mm)
Attach ring (part 2) to the backboard (part 1) using two Bolts, Nuts and Washers J and two Bolts, Springs & Nuts K.
The spring bolts go in the top two holes, and plain bolts in the bottom two.
The bolts go through the ring then through the backboard and are xed in place using the nuts.
2
You will need:
Parts as assembled in Step 1
2 x Short Backboard Braces (parts 4 ‘S’)
2 x Long Backboard Braces (parts 5 ‘T’)
2 x Bolts, Nuts & Washers B (M12 x 180mm - with metal
sleeves)
Attach the Long Backboard Braces (parts 5 ‘T’) to the lower holes on the metal bracket on the back of the
backboard using two Bolts, Nuts and Washers B.
Repeat this with the two Short Backboard Braces (parts 4 ‘S’) in the two upper holes in the backboard metal
bracket.
They should sit in this order once assembled:
Bolt > Washer > Brace Tube > Rubber Washer > Backboard > Bolt Sleeve > Backboard > Rubber Washer > Brace Tube > Washer > Nut
Please Note: These bolts need to be tightened to the right level. If they are too tight, it will be impossible to adjust
the height of the backboard and too much pressure will be put on the stand.
Tighten the nuts up until you can feel a resistance and then loosen a little bit, the braces should move freely.
Attach Backboard Braces
3Join the Top Pole and Braces
You will need:
Parts as assembled in Step 1 & 2 Top Pole + plastic cap (part 6 - W)
2 x Bolts, Nuts & Washers C (M12 x 180mm)
4
You will need:
Parts as assembled in Step 1, 2 & 3
Middle Pole (part 7 - X)
Adjustment Pole (part 9 - Z)
Adjustment Handle (part R)
Middle Pole Bracket (part Q)
1 x Bolt, Nut & Washers A (M12 x 180mm)
1 x Bolt, Nut & Washers E (M10 x 90mm)
2 x Bolts, Nuts & Washers G (M8 x 90mm)
1 x Bolt, Nut and Washer H (M8 x 70mm)
a. Attach the Adjustment Pole (part
9 - Z) between the ends of the Board
Braces (part 5 - T) using one Bolt, Nut
and Washers A. The horizontal cylin-
der already xed on the bottom of
the adjustment pole should face away
from the main poles.
Add the Adjustment Pole and Middle Pole
c. Attach Middle Pole Bracket (part Q) to
the middle pole using two Bolts, Nuts &
Washers G.
d. Add the Adjustment Handle (part R)
to the bottom of the Adjustment Pole
(part 9) - the nut and bolt for this is al-
ready attached to the adjustment pole
so you will need to unscrew this then
add the handle and tighten.
b. Attach the Middle Pole (part 7 - X)
to the top pole using one Bolt, Nut &
Washers E.
e. Now secure the horizontal
cylinder at the bottom of
the adjustment pole to the
bracket using one Bolt, Nut
and Washers H.
Fix the ends of the Backboard Braces (parts 4 & 5) to the Top Pole (part 6 - W) using two Bolts, Nuts and Washers C.
Start with the top two tubes (shorter braces S) and attach these to the highest hole in the top pole - then attach
the two longer brace tubes (T). Again, don’t overtighten - follow our tip in Step 2 to ensure the braces can be
moved (very important for adjusting the height of the backboard).

Warning!
Failure to comply with these warnings can lead to injury and/or damage of the basketball equipment.
• Do not allow children to hang from the hoop/rim, climb on the basketball base or up the pole
• Do not perform‘dunk’ moves on this basketball stand as it is not designed for this purpose. During play ensure face
does not come close to the backboard, rim or net as this could result in injury.
• Do not allow children to move or adjust the system
• Never leave the unit standing upright without proper weight in or on the base to support it
• Make sure you check the base frequently to ensure there is proper support for the stand (see the Inspection and
Maintenance section below)
• Make sure the pole sections are correctly installed - failure to do this could cause the poles to separate during play or
transportation
• The surface beneath the base must be smooth and free of gravel or other sharp objects - punctures cause leakage and
could cause the system to tip over
• Check the system before use to make sure all xtures and ttings are tight (see Inspection and Maintenance below)
• During play, do not wear jewellery (e.g. rings, watches, necklaces) objects may become entangled in the net
• Adverse weather conditions, exposure to extremes of weather, corrosive materials such as salt, herbicides or pesticides
or misuse of the stand could cause corrosion and result in the system failing
• This equipment is intended for home recreational use only and NOT excessive competitive play
• We recommend storing your stand in a cool, dry place to extend the life of your equipment

Complete the Basketball Stand
You will need:
Pre-assembled parts from Step 1 - 5 1 x Bolt, Nut & Washers E (M10 x 90mm)
Complete the stand by joining the middle pole to the bottom pole using one Bolt, Nut and Washers E. You may
want to do this with the parts on their side as the top, middle pole and backboard will be very heavy.
5Assemble the Base & Bottom Pole
You will need:
Base (part 10) - comes with Metal Rod - Wheel Axle (part 11) & 2 x Wheels (parts 12)
Bottom Pole (part 8 - Y) 2 x Base Struts (parts 13)
1 x Bolt, Nut & Washers D + plastic cap (M10 x 100mm) 2 x Bolts, Nut & Washers J (M8 x 20mm)
Place the base on a solid, at horizontal surface. Fix the Bottom Pole (part 8) and the Wheels (parts 12) to the Base
(part 10) using the Metal Rod/Wheel axle (part 11). You do this in the following order;
Metal Rod > Wheel > Base > Bottom Pole > Base > Wheel
You may need to pull the metal rod/wheel axle towards you slightly in order to get it to slot through all the parts.
Now the base is assembled put it aside.
Find the hole in the centre of the Bottom Pole. Fix two ends of the Base Struts (parts 13) either side of the Bottom
Pole using Bolt, Nut & Washers D. The other ends of the Base Struts then attach to the base itself using Bolts J (one
for each side) - secure with nuts & washers - one above and one below.

Using two capable adults, raise the stand so it is
standing upright on its base. Tighten all your nuts
once again to make sure everything is secure.
Follow the instructions on page 2 ‘Weighing Down
the Base’ - to ensure it is weighed down correctly
and complete the stand by adding the pole pad.
Inspection & Maintenance
We recommend the following inspection and maintenance.
Looking After Your Basketball Stand
Your basketball stand - just like any other outdoor play equipment - is designed to be used outside but without proper
care and maintenance will not last as long as you might want.
Weekly to monthly / routine visual inspection
Check all nuts and bolts - if any are loose, tighten them where necessary.
Check the base for any cracks or leakage
Check all pole sections for visible rust and corrosion.
If you nd any corrosion, rust, chips or cracks, use an emery cloth to remove the rust or chipped paint, and clean the area
with a damp cloth. Once it is dry apply two coats of a rust preventative high gloss enamel paint (suitable for metal) to the
area. Allow the paint to dry between coats and ensure it is completely dry before the stand is used.
1 -2 times per year / annual inspection
Check for rust and corrosion of nuts and bolts and replace with galvanised steel replacements where necessary.
