When basketball was discovered, the hoop was actually a basket, hence the name basketball. As
time went on, the basic backboard became bigger, and as rules changed, the net was added.
Different styles of basketball hoops are available, for residential, institutional, and gymnasium
uses.
There are both indoor and outdoor types of basketball hoops. The introduction of low-priced
basketball hoops on the market made basketball more popular. Most hoops have height-adjusting
capabilities, from 7' to 11'. Most have steel backboard frames. These types of steel hoops are
called lifetime basketball hoops. The hoops can be anchored on the wall (wall-anchor frames) or in
the ground (ground-anchor frames) or portable. Some portable basketball hoops have bases that
have to be filled with water or by sand. Portable basketball hoops allow you to play basketball
anywhere. New portable basketball hoops are less expensive and easier to maintain.
The diameter of the hoop is usually same, except in certain local fairs. There are
specially designed basketball hoops with second rims for players who want to develop some
special abilities. Some basketball hoops are provided with an auto rebounder that returns the ball
to the shooter after every shot. There are mini-basketball hoops for fun and for relieving stress,
especially when you are in the office.
If you buy basketball hoops for children, it is recommended that you buy an adjustable hoop so
you can start them with low height and you won't have to buy a new one every year. Before buying
a basketball hoop, compare different offers and features. The price of basketball hoops vary
according to use, design, and materials used. The price of an outdoor hoop starts at $450, an
institutional hoop starts at $5,000, portable indoor hoop starts at $550, and portable outdoor starts
at $350. Many basketball hoop manufacturers offer a five-year warranty. Both new and used
basketball hoops are available on the market. If you are buying an old one, make sure that the
rims are not bent or dirty.
