Goalrilla DC72E1 - 72" In-Ground Direct Connect Technology

When installing a Goalrilla in-ground basketball hoop, selecting the right location is crucial for performance and safety.

• Measure the overhang – This is the distance from the pole to the backboard. Goalrilla hoops typically have an overhang of 2.5 to 4 feet, depending on the model.
• Ensure enough playing space – For a regulation feel, place the hoop so that the backboard aligns with the edge of the playing surface while allowing enough space under the basket.
• Avoid obstructions – Ensure there are no trees, fences, or power lines in the way.
• Check for underground utilities – Before digging, always call 811 to verify that there are no buried lines in the area.

To ensure stability, Goalrilla in-ground basketball hoops require a concrete anchor system that is at least 48 inches deep.

• Use a 16" x 48" hole filled with concrete for the best durability.
• Allow the concrete to cure for 72 hours before attaching the pole.
• Goalrilla uses a rebar steel anchor system, making it possible to unbolt and relocate the hoop if needed.

Proper installation ensures maximum stability for long-term dunking and intense gameplay.

Overhang is the distance between the pole and the backboard, and it plays a key role in where you install your Goalrilla hoop.

• Smaller overhang (2.5 ft) – Great for smaller driveways or tight spaces.
• Larger overhang (4 ft) – Provides more under-the-hoop playing area, similar to professional courts.

💡 Tip: Make sure the backboard aligns with the edge of your playing area so the overhang doesn’t extend too far into the driveway or court.

Yes! Goalrilla in-ground hoops are ideal for driveway installations, but you need to consider:

✔ Playing space – Ensure enough clearance for free throws and three-pointers.
✔ Concrete depth – Follow the required 48-inch concrete anchor depth for stability.
✔ Surface alignment – Position the backboard edge with the playing surface for a professional feel.

If space is limited, opt for a Goalrilla hoop with a shorter overhang to maximize driveway use while keeping gameplay realistic.
