The Pros of Wall Mounted Hoops


Saves Space


Wall-mounted hoops are a great option for areas that are short on space. They can be installed on any wall, and they don't take up any floor space. If you have a space that has some good walls around it, it’s better to go with a wall mounted option than planting a hoop into the ground.


Player Friendly


Assume you run towards the basket at full speed for a lay-up or a dunk, your worst fear is slamming into the pole or frame of the backboard. This is where a wall mounted hoop will give you the extra space and confidence to finish your shot.


Low Maintenance


Wall mounted hoops can be much easier and cheaper to maintain, as you do not have to worry about the ground around it or the extra fixtures to keep in place, as long as the wall brackets are good you have a pretty sturdy play area.


Wall-mounted hoops are made from durable materials that can withstand the elements. Even so in extremely harsh conditions you can keep it away in store. They are also less likely to be damaged by children or pets.


They are cost effective


They are less costly than in ground hoops due to less installation work. Unlike the in ground hoops you have to only have a suitable wall and good fixtures that come with the backboard to hold it, hence less work meaning less cost.


The Cons of Wall Mounted Hoops


Limited Adjustability


Wall mounted hoops are fixed at the height installed so if you ever want to lower it it’s not going to happen meaning it might be difficult for smaller age groups to engage, also in the event the rim needs some fixing you have to get up there yourself and do it.


Aesthetics


While they do serve the purpose, sometimes wall mounted hoops can look a bit off for some players, taking away the classic look and feel of a basketball court.
