Free throw lines, restricted areas and free throw areas.

The free throw line is applied parallel to each end line. Its far edge is at a distance of 5.80 m from the inner edge of the end line, its length must be 3.60 m. Its middle must be on an imaginary line connecting the midpoints of the two end lines.
Restricted areas are defined areas on the court, bounded by the end lines, free throw lines and lines that start from the end lines. Their outer edges are 3 m from the middle of the end lines and end at the outer edge of the free throw lines. These lines, excluding the end lines, are part of the restricted area. The restricted areas may be painted a different color, but they must be the same color as the center circle.
Free throw areas are limited areas extended towards the playing court in semicircles with a radius of 1.80 m, the centers of which are located in the middle of the free throw lines. The same semicircles must be drawn in dotted lines within the restricted areas.
The places along the free throw areas taken by Players during free throws are marked as shown in the diagram.

Three-point shooting zone.

Shield supports.

The shield supports should be designed as follows:
- the front of the structure (including upholstery) must be located at a distance of at least 2.00 m from the outer edge of the end line, painted in a bright color that contrasts with the color of the walls, so that it is clearly visible to the Players.
- the shield support must be so attached to the floor that it cannot be displaced.
— any structure to which the shield is attached must be upholstered with soft material behind the shield along the bottom surface of the structure at a distance of 1.20 m from the front surface of the shield.
- the minimum thickness of the upholstery should be 5 cm. It should have the same density as the upholstery of the panels.
- all backboard support structures must be completely upholstered with soft material to a height of at least 2.15 m on the surface from the side of the site. The minimum thickness of the upholstery must be 10 cm.

Baskets.

Baskets consist of rings and nets.

Rings.

Control and transfer standards for basketball players in the Youth Sports School

A basketball backboard and a hoop are essential components of a basketball court. The world has adopted standards regarding these elements: they were established by the International Basketball Federation.

A basketball backboard is a rectangular or square panel on which the hoop is fixed. The shield is equipped with a mount for mounting on a pole or hanging on the wall: rigid mounting is required so that the product does not wobble or move. The size of the product is 1.8x1.05 meters, while the distance from its edge to the floor should be 2.9 meters. The NBA has set the following standards: the size of the backboard is 72 x 42 inches. There should be two shields, they are installed at opposite ends of the field, the material is durable and resistant to shock (for example, tempered glass, acrylic, wood). The surface is marked with lines, it must be smooth. Non-stationary basketball backboard models with a net use the same mounting elements as the brackets for hanging punching bags. This allows you to withstand a large weight of the product and securely fix it.

What should a basketball hoop look like?

The ring or basket is a metal (steel) circle, which is covered with a mesh without a bottom. This element should be installed at a distance of 3.05 meters from the floor and 0.15 meters from the bottom edge of the shield.

How to make a basketball backboard and a ring in the yard, what sizes and what can be done?

The inner diameter can vary from 45 to 45.7 centimeters. The basketball hoop is painted in a bright color, most often orange. The load on the basket should not be transferred to the shield, so special attention must be paid to the installation of the product.

How to make a basketball hoop

A mandatory feature of such a famous game as basketball is a basketball basket with a net. You can absolutely build this device in your yard, making a shield and a homemade one from improvised materials. ring from thick wire. But if you decide to practice your playing skills more masterfully, you should know what are the requirements for the design of a basketball hoop. Keep these instructions in mind when making sports equipment.

You will need

• - metal rod with a diameter of 16-20 mm
• - metal plate
• - white cord

Instruction

1. The expertly crafted basket consists of a basketball hoop and a net. The design of the ring is clearly defined by the relevant rules of the game. The material for the ring is strong iron. The inner diameter of the ring is 45 cm. The ring should be orange in color. The diameter of the rod from which you have to make ring, must be at least 16 mm and not more than 20 mm.

2. The lower part of the basketball hoop has attachments for attaching the net. The design of such devices should prevent injury to the fingers.

3. The basketball net is attached to the hoop at twelve points along each hoop perimeter. These points must be located at an equal distance from each other. Net attachment devices must not have sharp edges or gaps where the player's fingers could get caught.

4. The fastening of the ring to the structure supporting the basket is done in such a way that any force applied to the ring cannot be transferred unconstrainedly to the shield. direct contact between ring m and a fastening device should not be. At the same time, the gap should be quite small so that the player's fingers cannot get into it.

5. The upper edge of the ring is located horizontally at a height of 3.05 m above the surface of the playing area. The ring must be identically spaced from the vertical edges of the shield. The nearest point of the inner surface of the ring is located 15 cm from the front surface of the shield.

6. It is not forbidden to use shock-absorbing basketball ring. It is equipped with an appropriate spring mechanism that allows the ring to deviate 30 degrees and return to its original position.

7. A few words about the net that you have to make complete with a basketball ring m. It is allowed to make it from a white cord. It should be large enough to momentarily stop a basketball passing through the basket from above. The length of the basketball net is 40-45 cm. The net must have twelve loops for attaching to the ring.

The top segments of the net are made rigid to prevent the net from becoming tangled or entangled to an acceptable extent, as well as the ball getting stuck. The net must not allow the ball to be thrown back out of the basket for no reason.

Standard basketball backboard sizes

DIY basketball stands

Basketball stands can be made by hand, or you can buy from us easier and faster.

Currently, there are a large number of the most diverse designs of basketball racks. Their choice is determined by the conditions and the place of installation. For halls with a length of less than 30 m, wall hangings are usually used, in the open air and in halls with a length of more than 30 m - floor and hanging racks. For school halls, the length of which usually does not exceed 24 m, only wall racks may be of interest, and for open areas - floor racks.

Basketball posts for open areas (Fig. 173, 174, 175) are a tubular welded truss, dug into the ground or loosely resting on the ground. In the latter case, stability is created by means of load balances placed on the base of the truss. Such racks (they are called portable) are convenient in that they can be moved, freeing up space for other sports events, for filling rinks, etc.

Basketball stands consist of a truss, a wooden (or organic glass) backboard and a ring with a net.

To make a farm, which will then be strengthened in the ground, it will take 45 m of water and gas pipes with a diameter of 1 / * inch, 21 m of pipes with a diameter of 3-4 inches and sheet steel (for washers) 8 mm thick - 0.5 m2.

The depth of the farm into the ground depends on the freezing of the soil in the area, but should not be less than 700 mm. The truss is fixed on concrete bases (section size 0.5 X 0.5 m) with a depth of at least 1 m. When concreting, the vertical position of the shield should be ensured. To do this, the support flanges are installed inside the dug pits on brick posts 300 mm high, and the truss is supported by a prop. By adjusting the height of the support, a position is achieved in which the mounting shield flanges do not reach the vertical position by 2-3 ° '. In this case, the supporting flanges of the truss must rest on the brick columns with the entire surface. If this does not happen, it is necessary to place steel linings under the flanges.

Having adjusted the position of the farm, the pit is poured with cement mortar flush with the ground. The farm remains standing with props for at least 3-5 days. After this period, the supports are removed and the shield is hung. In this case, the truss, under the weight of the shield and its own, will lean forward somewhat and the shield flanges will take a strictly vertical position. Using the oval holes in the flanges, the backboard is installed straight, without distortion, and the lower edge of the backboard should be 2.75 m from the surface of the playing area.

The shield is made of dry pine boards 30 mm thick, connected into a spike, and framed with a frame 30 mm thick and 75 mm wide and bars 45 and 120 mm, respectively. To increase rigidity, it is allowed to place a vertical bar in the middle part of the shield of the same dimensions as the outer bars. The parts are connected with K-17 glue.

Shield dimensions: length - 1800 mm, height - 1200 mm.

In addition to the standard ones, you can use simplified shields. They are assembled from dry boards 20-30 mm thick, butted together and connected by four vertical bars 160 mm wide and 60 mm thick. The bars are fastened to the boards with screws 5-6 mm in diameter and 60-75 mm long.

The front surface of the basketball backboard must be carefully processed, well sanded and painted with white oil paint. The back of the board is soaked with hot drying oil. Along the entire perimeter, the shield is bordered with a black strip 50 mm wide, and in the middle part, at a height of 250 mm from the bottom edge, a rectangle measuring 600 X 450 mm is applied. Line thickness

rectangle - 50 mm.

To connect the shield to the truss, standard bolts with a diameter of 10-12 mm and a length of 75-90 mm are used (depending on the thickness of the shield). The heads of the bolts are flush and, after installation, are painted over with paint to match the color of the shield.

Rings for hanging the mesh can be made in a normal or simplified design.

The ring of a simplified design is a circle with an inner diameter of 450 mm, rolled from a bar with a diameter of 20 mm. The circle is connected by a metal rod with a diameter of 30-35 mm with a round flange, which is attached to the shield with three bolts with a diameter of 10 mm. On the circle for attaching the mesh, through holes (11 or 22) with a diameter of 5 mm are provided or brackets of various configurations are welded.

A simplified ring can be successfully used in schools for primary education. However, it should be remembered that it is not rigid enough and vibrates when hit by the ball.

The rebound of the ball from such a ring is unstable.

The normal design ring is devoid of this drawback, but its manufacture is more difficult due to the introduction of additional struts, a plate bracket, as well as a large number of welding operations.

01. First, I sit down at the computer and sketch out a drawing for attaching the shield and the pole itself.

It was originally planned to put the ring in another place and pull it with a solid hitch to the nearest tree. But there turned out to be a lot of roots and they decided to put them in free flight and without a screed, because the ring in the upper part of the column remained rudimentary only in the drawing. Diagonals that are not in the drawing (green) have also been cancelled. We decided that the rigidity of the wooden shield and metal fasteners would be enough not to "walk".

Also on the course I changed the way of strengthening the outrigger knee. Not with a corner as in the drawing, but with two stripes on the sides, see the photo below.

A profile of 5 cm was used for the pole, for a bracket strung on a pole - 6 cm. A strip is welded inside so as not to play.
Everything that adjoins the wooden shield is a 25 mm corner.

Important: the ring should be universal for both adults and children of different heights. Therefore, a height offset system was made.

02. The main large elements are welded: a pillar, a knee, two stepson solid fuel boosters. The upper edge of the pillar and stepchildren is bevelled: for rainfall and for beauty.

03. More different views

04.

05. There it is a strip welded inside the elbow pipe. At the top of the hole.

06. The shield fixing system has been completed. No, this is not a bottle of Zhatetsky Gus beer, this is gasoline.

What is the size and layout of the basketball backboard? At what height is it attached?

Stepchildren are welded. There was an error in the calculations. It was assumed that the stepchildren would strengthen the pillar from swinging, but they were attached lower than necessary. Further in the photo you will see that they protrude quite a bit from the ground. It would be possible to raise 30-40 cm higher. And now, nevertheless, the pillar sways during the game.

08. The heels are welded into the part that goes underground.

09.

10. Everything is painted

11.

12. Fossa

13. It will stand like this for a couple of days and you can continue. there was no putty for metal, to putty the seams. The putty was bought in addition, puttied and repainted a little later.

14. Up!

15. Shield assembly.

16. Done!

17. Now the ring is at its lowest height. Even lower than calculated, because one hole is not used (see the vacant thumb screw). Altitude change occurs with the help of one man-power on a stepladder.

The summer season will come very soon, and many parents with their restless children will leave the city. Adults, as usual, will dig in the beds, but what should bored children do at this time? In this article, we have prepared information for you on how to make a basketball hoop with your own hands, and with it a playground.

Choosing a site location

This issue must be approached very responsibly, because many factors must be taken into account. It is desirable that the playground is located at a distance from the house and from the garden.

So, here are the places that are by no means suitable for placing a basketball court:

• On uneven terrain. Any sports ground implies a perfectly flat playing surface.
• Near water bodies. It is contraindicated to play near any bodies of water, especially if you have children. It is possible that the ball will fall into the water and the fidgets, wanting to show their independence to their parents, will go to get it themselves. They will most likely end up in trouble.
• In the lowlands There, the site will dry for a very long time after various precipitations, which means that it will be used very rarely and will soon be abandoned.
• It is also forbidden to play on a court where groundwater is located nearby. Every year the landscape will change, as a result of which the fixation of the shield with the ring will warp.

Creating the site surface

In order to cover our future site with a flat cement surface, on which a homemade basketball hoop will soon stand, you need to do the following:

1. Remove the fertile layer of soil from the surface. To do this, dig in about 50 cm of earth. Such a procedure is necessary in order to continue laying the drainage cushion, which is laid in front of the main coating.
2. Lay geotextile on the soil. To do this, it is cut into separate pieces, because it goes in a whole canvas. Such pieces can be stacked in any position. The main thing to consider is that they cover each other by about 20-30 cm, which excludes subsidence of the upper layer.
3. After that, the geotextile is sprinkled with sand and leveled, the thickness of such a layer should be approximately 15 cm.
4. Lay a geogrid, which in the future will serve as a reinforcement of the entire structure. The grate is half filled with sand, and the other half with crushed stone. The layer thickness also remains 15 cm.
5. Fill with cement to form expansion joints. This is necessary so that the top coating is well fixed for a long time. In addition, after various precipitations, water will quickly seep through all layers, which will contribute to the rapid drying of the playing place.
6. After all the steps taken, the topmost layer is laid on the treated surface. It can be any surface: a sports lawn, a special mixture of sand and clay, a roll coating, and others.

Set up a basketball court

Already when the foundation was just being installed, it was necessary to think about where our ring would hang. For convenience, racks with rings are installed along the edges of the site, as in a real gym. Here are the dimensions to be observed:

• The minimum distance between racks is 3 meters.
• The area of ​​the field should be approximately 20x35 m.
• The ring itself should be located approximately 2 m from the ground.

Making a shield

Making a basketball hoop with your own hands, like a shield for it, is not difficult at all. To make a shield on our own, we just need to adhere to the following algorithm:

1. Make a frame from metal corners that need to be welded together according to the given dimensions.
2. Select the necessary boards in order to make a wall. When they are fastened together, some gaps may remain, but they will not interfere with the game at all. Just make sure the boards are level.
3. Next, the manufactured shield needs to be painted to your liking. Children can be involved in this procedure, because, as you know, they are the best designers.

We make the main component

Here we take a look at the classic braided version and learn how to make a DIY basketball hoop. In general, it is not so difficult to make, the main thing is to show a little accuracy and desire.

To create braided rings, summer residents will need only two things:

• The base of the ring. Usually it must be made of iron.
• Strong threads. They can be seen: thin rope, cords, thick yarn, any rope.

So, what needs to be done in order for its main component to appear on your site:

1. At the very beginning, it is necessary to make an iron blank in the form of a ring and highlight a small protrusion in it. The diameter of the circle must be such that the ball can pass freely into it. It is better to entrust such work to the stronger sex.
2. Then comes women's work. To do this, we take a rope and cut it into 8 equal parts. Then you need to tie them at the previously planned distance so that two ends of one thread hang down.
3. After that, it's time to start weaving the net. To do this, the adjacent ends of the segments of a thick thread are tied into knots, obtaining different grid cells. All ends of the ropes are required here. Thus, it is necessary to make several layers of cells until the threads run out.

Which ring is best?

After making a basketball hoop with your own hands, you involuntarily think about what is better: a store hoop or something that we made ourselves?

Of course, a handmade thing always remains the most pleasing to the eye. But it takes much more time to make it than a ring that can be bought in a store in a couple of minutes. But still, if there is no time to make this item on your own, it is better to purchase it in a special store with sporting goods.

Master class on making a basketball hoop and net at home

To begin with, I took a piece of metal-plastic pipe left after the repair.

Drilled holes on both sides. Wired it all up!

She asked her husband for a corner that he found from that and made.

The tightened ends were isolated with electrical tape.

Putting the whole structure together.

We take nylon threads and make blanks, approximately 2 meters each (taking into account that we will fold in half there will be 1 metor)

We strengthen ring so so that it was convenient to weave, a fan helped me. And now the hardest part. We connect the threads so that we get a network.

And happy ending! Ring and mesh ready. My kids appreciated it. Now we can't wait for spring. We will attach it to the group site. And we will please all the children in the garden.

DIY portable basketball hoop

Not all playgrounds are equipped with play and sports equipment. At the same time, there are horizontal bars in every yard. With their help, you can make a basketball court. To do this, you need to make portable rings and buy a basketball.

Step-by-step photo tutorial on how to make a portable basketball hoop with your own hands

To make a basketball hoop, you need to take:

• a large bucket of putty;
• polypropylene threads (as for a washcloth);
• hook;
• board (the rest of the parquet);
• hooks (can be homemade);
• self-tapping screws.

First, cut off the top ring from the bucket. If there are irregularities, grind. Next, tie the ring tightly with polypropylene threads. You can wrap if the mesh is already ready. In our version, she will knit. There should be no space between the threads, and make the loops small.

Now, after tying the ring, knit the mesh with ordinary arches. Start with seven to five air loops, skipping three to four columns of the previous row. You alternate the arches with a single crochet, then the knitting will be tight, and the product will be durable.

The number of loops in the arches depends on their size, that is, the length of the arch does not exceed three centimeters. The next rows are knitted in a checkerboard pattern when the connection is made behind the center of the arch. Please note that you narrow the grid to the bottom, reducing the number of arches.

In the last row, fasten the fringe to the grid. Attach the ring with screws to the bottom of the board. On the reverse side, attach the hooks for which the ring is hung on the horizontal bar. For evenness of the ring on the sides, pull the threads to the top edge of the board. Now you need to hang the ring, attach a load to the net to pull it off. And the board can be decorated with some kind of picture (preferably using decoupage technique, then the ring can be subjected to wet processing).

This basketball hoop can be used indoors or outdoors. It can be moved from yard to yard, hung at any height to develop dexterity and eye, used in sports competitions.

I love this site for the variety of ideas. No, no, yes, we will do something after sitting here)) The idea with the ring is cool and the fact that it is portable is also good. I wouldn’t risk hanging this in my apartment anyway ... for obvious reasons))

What is the diameter of the basketball hoop?

Basketball is a ball game that originated in Massachusetts. The weather here is very unstable, so a game that could be played indoors was needed. A feature of the game is that the players need to show their dexterity by throwing the ball into the ring with a net, located at a height of three meters.

Each playing area must have two rings of the same size. The thickness of the hoop cannot exceed two centimeters. The traditional diameter of a basketball hoop is 45 cm, which is enough for the ball to pass through. Also, the basket is equipped with a mesh that is securely fixed. The mesh ring is placed on a special shield, three meters away from the ground. It is very important that the basket is well attached to the pad, as players often jump and hang on it during the game, which can cause it to break. Due to this, it is able to withstand loads up to 82 kg.

The maximum diameter of a basketball hoop is 45.7 mm. But this is not its only feature. It is painted bright red so that the player can clearly see it when making a throw. All basketball players must be tall. Otherwise, they would not be able to hit the target, since the ring is usually located at a height of three meters from the ground.

The height of the basketball hoop is 3.05 meters from the ground. A person of average height is unlikely to be able to hit him with a ball. Therefore, special racks are installed in schools, thanks to which you can adjust the height at which the basket is located. The shield itself is installed at a height of three meters. The ring is attached a little higher - from here another 5 cm of height appear. The shield is necessary in order for the ball to bounce off it and hit the playing court again.

Handmade basketball hoop

Most people make their own basketball rings, which are installed in the country or even at home. After all, the game captivates everyone, regardless of age. To make a basket at home, you need to consider the size of the basketball hoop. In addition, all materials should be purchased. This is a thick wire and rope. If there is no wire, then you can use the old halahup. It must be cut, shortened to the required size (the diameter of the basketball hoop should be only 45 cm), and then reconnected. When making a ring out of wire, you should use something instead of a template (some kind of cylindrical vessel), around which you need to wind the wire.

The diameter of the basketball hoop, made at home, should be only a few cm larger than the diameter of the ball. After that, you need to take the rope and cut it into 20 segments of the same length. They must be attached to a metal ring. Then you need to tie the two ends of the adjacent ropes around the circumference of the ring. You need to secure the basket well so that it does not fall off after being hit by the ball.

Benefits of a homemade basketball hoop

Making a basketball hoop with your own hands is not difficult. However, many people wonder which is better: bought or created on their own? Of course, making something with your own hands is always nice. However, this requires materials, free time. Anyway, you need to learn how to work with welding in order to connect the ring. If this is difficult for you, then it is better to purchase a basket from trusted manufacturers.

It is important that the basketball hoop is of high quality so that it lasts more than one game. After all, a special feature of basketball is the basket for the ball located above the court, so special attention should be paid to its choice or manufacture.

From this article you will learn:

• What are the dimensions of the basketball hoop
• How to make a basketball hoop with your own hands
• Where to buy a ready-made basketball hoop

Basketball-like games were found among the ancient Scandinavian peoples and Mexican Indians. Today in northern Mexico, one of these games is popular - "Pok-Ta-Pok". It is believed that it appeared due to religious rites, which eventually turned into sports fun and an attraction for tourists. How the game "basketball" appeared, and what is a basketball backboard with a ring as a necessary element of this popular game, we will learn in this article.

When did basketball and the first backboard with a hoop appear?

The forerunner of basketball is the 19th-century children's game "duck on a rock", familiar to the Canadian inventor of basketball, James Naismith. The principle of the game was to hit a small stone on top of a large one.

The concept of basketball was finally formed when D. Naismith moved to the United States and became a physical education teacher at the College of the Youth Christian Organization (YMCA) in Springfield, Massachusetts. Already teaching physical education and as a college professor, he faced the challenge of creating a winter game between baseball and football. Naismith, given the weather conditions this time of year in Massachusetts, decided that this game should be played indoors.

Naismith's goal was to create an outdoor game for the students of the Christian Workers' School that required more than just strength and dexterity. It was supposed to develop coordination of movements in teenagers and at the same time be interesting.

So, in the winter of 1891, under the leadership of Naismith, the first basketball baskets were installed in the college gym. Baskets from under the fruit, fixed on both sides of the hall on the balconies, which encircled the room around the perimeter, acted as basketball hoops. Such baskets were fastened at a height of 3.05 m, it was this indicator that became the international standard, which is observed to this day.

The task of the players was to throw the ball (they used football at that time) into the basket. The first basketball match was held in the same hall on December 21, 1891. According to the conditions of the game proposed by Naismith, each team had 9 people, which exactly coincided with the number of students in the group.

The news of the new game spread across America very quickly, and Naismith was asked to send in the rules. On February 12, 1892, after learning the rules and mastering the basics of technology, the students of Springfield College played the first "official" match in the history of basketball, which ended in a 2-2 draw.

This meeting turned out to be so successful, and the rumor about a new type of competition spread so rapidly that soon two Springfield teams began to hold demonstration competitions, which were already attended by hundreds of spectators. The initiative was picked up by students from other educational institutions, and the following year, the Northeast of America was swept by a real basketball fever.

Naismith's rules of basketball, which Naismith personally wrote as a college instructor in 1891, were a 13-point list that eventually formed the basis of today's international rules, barely 200 pages long. In 1893, instead of baskets, they put iron rings with a grid, two years later they added shields, and two years later the team was reduced to 5 people.

What is a basketball hoop today

To play basketball on the sports ground, two shields are installed on which baskets (rings) are attached. The shield is made of a transparent material, usually a single piece of tempered impact-resistant glass with a degree of hardness corresponding to that of a 30 mm thick hardwood shield. It is allowed to produce such shields from other materials, but in this case they must be painted white and comply with other requirements for such sports equipment.

The front side of the shield is made smooth, a marking line is applied along the edges, a rectangle measuring 45 cm vertically and 59 cm horizontally is indicated at the place where the ring is attached. Moreover, the upper edge of the base of the rectangle must coincide with the level of the upper plane of the ring. White outlines are applied to transparent shields, and black is used in other cases. Line width - 5 cm.

A basketball backboard with a ring is installed at right angles on both sides of the playing court, parallel to the front lines. The center of the front surface of each shield lies on perpendicular lines reconstructed from points located on the site at a distance of 120 cm from the middle of the inner edge of each front line.

Shields are upholstered, the following requirements are imposed on it:

• the sides of the shields and the lower end are covered with soft material at a height of at least 35 cm from the lower corners;
• the lower end is upholstered with a material with a thickness of at least 5 cm;
• the back and front surfaces of the shield should be decorated with upholstery material, the thickness of which is at least 2 cm, at a height of at least 2 cm from the bottom end.

The following requirements are imposed on the structures on which the shields are attached: their front parts, including the upholstery, are placed at a distance of at least two meters from the outer edge of the front line. They are painted in bright colors that contrast with the walls of the sports hall in order to provide sufficient visibility to the players of both teams.

The structure, on which the basketball hoop is installed, is attached to the floor of the court in such a way as to prevent its displacement during the game.

The structures used for fastening the shields must be upholstered with soft material behind the shield at a distance of 120 cm from the front surface of the shield. The minimum thickness of the upholstery is 5 cm, and the density is the same as that of the upholstery of the shields.

The base of the structure from the side of the playground is upholstered with dense soft material to a height of at least 215 cm, the thickness of the upholstery is 10 cm.

The minimum value of the so-called "indentation factor" of the upholstery of panels and structures is 50%. This figure means that when an appropriate force is applied to the upholstery, its indentation should be within 50% of its original thickness. The upholstery material provides protection to players from possible injuries during the game.

Basketball backboard and hoop dimensions

It's hard to imagine a basketball court without a basketball backboard and hoop. For them, world standards established by the International Basketball Federation have been adopted.

A basketball backboard is a rectangular or square panel to which a hoop is attached. Mounting is provided on the shield for mounting on a pole or hanging on a wall: rigid mounting is required, the product should not stagger and move.

The dimensions of the shield are 1.8x1.05 meters, with an installation height of 2.9 meters. By NBA standards, the size of the backboard must be 72x42 inches. Two shields are installed opposite each other from different ends of the field, the material is impact-resistant (as an option, tempered glass, acrylic, wood). Lines are drawn on a smooth surface. Models of basketball backboards with a net that are not intended for stationary installation are equipped with the same mounting elements as in the brackets for hanging punching bags. This method makes basketball backboards able to withstand a lot of weight and securely fixes them.

The ring or basket includes a metal (steel) circle covered with mesh without a bottom. It is installed at a height of 3.05 meters from the floor and indented 15 cm from the lower edge of the shield. The inner diameter is selected from the range of 45–45.7 cm. The basketball hoop is painted in a bright color, usually orange. It is impossible to allow the transfer of load from the basket to the shield, therefore, the installation of the product is carried out with special attention.

DIY basketball hoop

Homemade basketball hoops are installed in cottages or hung in the yard near the house. In the summer, you can throw the ball with pleasure, feeling like Michael Jordan for a moment. This game is available to everyone: both children and adults. The benefits of such a seemingly simple exercise are incredible!

Have you set out to make your own basketball hoop and don't know where to start? Further, we will talk about this.

To make your own basketball hoop, you need thick wire and rope. Instead of a wire, an old unnecessary sports hoop is suitable, which is cut, shortened and connected again. Do not forget to leave a "sprout" for attaching to the shield.

In order to make a basketball hoop out of thick wire, you need to use some tricks. To obtain an even circle, a cylindrical fixture can be used as a template on which the wire is wound. But, before cutting off the wire, do not forget about the "sprout" for attaching to the wall.

The diameter of the metal blank for the ring is slightly larger than the diameter of the basketball. Next, the pre-prepared rope is cut into 20–22 identical segments. The length of each is 2.5–3 times the planned length of the net hanging.

These segments at equal intervals are attached to a metal ring. The ropes are tied in the middle, and the two ends of equal length are left free. Then the two ends of the nearby ropes are tied in turn, and so on along the entire circumference of the ring. It turns out the first level of the grid. In the same way, the ropes of the next level are tied, etc.

When making a basketball hoop for the home, the bottom of the net can be tied up to allow the ball hitting the net to stay inside. Thus, the ball does not accidentally bounce to the side.

Now we know how to make a basketball hoop ourselves. But it is necessary to answer the question, which is better - a home-made or a quality product bought in a store?

Making parts with your own hands is a pleasure. To do this, you only need free time, the necessary materials and a third-class welder. If you do not have this, then it is better to purchase a basketball hoop with a backboard from trusted manufacturers.

In order to make a basketball backboard with a mount, you will need six meters of a 2x2 cm profile pipe, 8.5 m of a 2x4 cm profile pipe, a backboard made of laminated moisture-resistant plywood, a basketball hoop, and six anchor bolts for attaching to the wall. The design is assembled from three parts for easy wall mounting.

The desired part is cut off from the shield.

The metal structures are welded and the prepared AKZ is applied to them.

The shield is drawn, glued with adhesive tape, and lines 5 cm wide are applied to it.

We fix two components of the structure on the wall.

We attach a shield to the frame.

Where to buy a basketball hoop with a shield

In such a mobile game as basketball, every little thing is important! Even at the finish line, troubles happen: the ball is in the ring, but gets tangled in the net and gets stuck. This moment is ruined! How to avoid such troubles?

The following requirements are imposed on the grid for rings:

• 12 loops for fastening;
• length should be 40-45 cm;
• use a hard white cord as a material;
• the top is made in such a way as to exclude throwing the net onto the ring, tangling or sticking the ball.

How to choose the right basketball net? The main thing to pay attention to is the material, diameter and thickness of the thread, type.

1. Products from kapron and nylon are used more often. The latter is more wear-resistant, so for professional training, boron falls on this material.
2. The diameter is selected in accordance with the diameter of the ring and the ball.
3. For professional basketball nets, thick threads of increased strength are used, but for amateurs, more fragile ones can be used.
4. Type: knotted and knotless. Products of the first type are widely used, but knotless basketball nets for the hoop look better and absorb the impact of the ball well, and are more reliable.

Basketball backboard with your own hands. How to make a basketball backboard. How to make a basketball backboard at home. The sport of basketball has always held a special place in American society, especially in the western states.

Passing through any small town in the western part of the United States in the courtyards of private houses and on ordinary sports fields, you can find many basketball backboards with rings assembled by homegrown craftsmen with their own hands. Moreover, many of these homemade shields have already withstood more than one thousand throws.

The process of making a basketball backboard is no more difficult than making sports predictions, especially if the necessary materials are available.

Here is a typical instruction for making a basketball backboard at home. For the base of the basketball backboard, you can choose a sheet of plywood, which is inexpensive and not hard to get either. A sturdy rectangular piece of plexiglass or thick plastic may also work well.

If the basketball backboard will be installed outdoors, then it is worth choosing the material for its base based on considerations not only of strength, but also of resistance to adverse weather conditions.

The next step is to choose a place where the basketball backboard will be attached. When choosing such a place, the main thing to remember is that the lower edge of the shield should be at a height of 290 centimeters from the ground, and the ring should be located at a height of 305 centimeters.

Now you need to apply dimensions and cut a plywood blank along them. The ideal size of a standard basketball backboard are the following parameters: width - 1.8 meters, height - 1.05 meters. This size will allow players to make more accurate and varied throws. Before you start cutting the workpiece, you need to use a pencil to outline the dimensions and draw lines along which the workpiece will be cut.

It is better to cut it with a jigsaw, when working with which you must be careful.

After the blank of the future basketball backboard is ready, it will be necessary to draw a white square on it, which plays a very important role.

The white square is a kind of guide for the players when throwing, with the help of such markings it is much easier to get the ball into the basket. If the ball is correctly thrown into the corner of this square, then it will definitely reach the goal.

In order to mark such a square, not only a brush and paint are needed, but also knowledge of the dimensions of the rectangle. Its external dimensions are 59 centimeters horizontally and 45 centimeters vertically.

When marking, it should also be taken into account that the upper edge of the base of this rectangle must coincide with the level of the upper plane of the ring. The width of the stripes of the square should be 5 centimeters.

Basketball basket with your own hands. Baskets. Baskets consist of rings and nets.

Rings.
Material - durable steel, inner diameter 45 cm and painted orange.
The metal bar of the ring must have a minimum diameter of 16 mm and a maximum diameter of 20 mm. On the bottom of the ring there must be devices for attaching nets, such as to prevent injury to the fingers.
The mesh must be attached to the ring at twelve equally spaced points along the entire perimeter of the ring. Net attachment devices must not have sharp edges or crevices that the Player's fingers could get into.
The ring is attached to the structure supporting the basket in such a way that no force applied to the ring is transmitted directly to the shield. Therefore, there should be no direct contact between the ring and the device that secures the ring to the shield and the shield. However, the gap must be small enough that fingers cannot get into it.
The upper edge of each ring should be located horizontally at a height of 3.05 m above the surface of the site at an equal distance from the vertical edges of the shield.
The nearest point of the inner part of the ring should be located at a distance of 15 cm from the front surface of the shield.
You can use rings with a shock absorber.

Grids.
Made of white cord and designed to hold the ball momentarily as it passes through the basket. The net length must be at least 40 cm and not more than 45 cm.
Each mesh should have 12 loops for attaching to the ring.
The top sections of the mesh must be sufficiently rigid to prevent:
Overlapping of the mesh on the ring and its possible entanglement.
The ball getting stuck in the net or thrown back out of the basket by the net.

How to weave a net for a basketball hoop. Basketball net (Fig. 1). Basketball net can be woven from braid, twine, rope, thick threads. The braid or thread is first cut into segments. The length of each segment should be four times the length of the grid. The number of segments is determined as follows: the ring intended for the grid is measured, and the resulting value is divided by four.

1 - general view of the grid; 2 - fixing the cord segments on the ring; 3 - tying the ends with a knot; 4 - formation of cells; 5 - mesh weaving using a template.

Weaving the mesh begins with fixing the segments on the ring. To do this, one end of the segment is threaded into the ring and equalized with the other end. (Fig. 1 (2). Both ends are then tied in a knot. So on the ring are fixed, at an equal distance from each other, all segments (Fig. 1(3). In subsequent rows, the ends of the segments are tied with knots in pairs, with one end taken from one knot, and the other from another. (Fig. 1 (4). As a result, holes are obtained, which in weaving are called cells. So weave the mesh to the required size. Then the ends of the segments are trimmed at a distance of 5-6 centimeters from the last knots. In order for the grid to have a beautiful appearance and the correct shape, the cells should be made the same size. You can weave a grid using a template (ruler or bar) made to fit the cell. A template is placed between two pieces of braid, the braid is laid on it and a knot is tied. (Fig. 1 (5) .

Do-it-yourself basketball backboard ready. Now it needs to be firmly fixed. To do this, you will need 4 large bolts that can withstand a load of 30 kg, and drill four holes in the wall or any other place where the basketball backboard will be mounted. Use a level to drill holes evenly. After that, you can start installing the shield. It is very inconvenient to do it yourself, so you should again resort to the help of friends who can insure you on the stairs, as well as file and hold the shield.

Once the bolts are installed and screwed into place, the basket can be hung up so that you can finally play on the court with a new basketball backboard that will last for many years.
