Determine Installation Location
Consider the following to determine where to install your
Ball Hog
®
Basketball Goal:
• When extended, will backboard overhang obstruct driveway or
other important space? Maximum overhang: 68” (1.73 m) from
the front of the pole to the front of the rim.
• Is there room so vehicles backing out of driveway do not strike
backboard or rim?
• Will court markings be used?
• How much playing surface is needed?
• How much playing surface will be under the backboard?
(Having the edge of the playing surface directly underneath
the backboard can result in trip hazards and unpredictable ball
action following a shot. Try to have as much playing surface as
possible behind the backboard.)
• Other functions of playing surface (driveway, playground, etc.)
• Will the goal be at least 20 ft. (7 m) from any overhead power
lines? (No overhead power lines should be within a 20 ft.
(7 m) radius of the goal.)
• Will the ground anchor for the goal avoid underground power,
gas, telephone, water and other utility lines? (See 811 One Call
Warning box on page 2 for more information or call your local
utility company.)
