How do I install my Mega Slam?
You can install your own Mega Slam hoop or find a professional installer to help you. The back boards and basketball systems are quite heavy, so if you’re up for the challenge of installing it yourself, make sure you have some friends along to help you get the job done.
How much does installation typically cost?
Prices for installing typically range from 400-800 euro, depending on your location and the specifics of your yard & setup. Keep in mind, the multiple-step installation process requires a couple home visits for any installer. Exact installation pricing can only be quoted by the installer as they are all independent contractors.
How long does it take to install a Mega Slam Hoop?
Whether you’re installing it yourself or having it done professionally, it’s a two-phase process. Phase one is approximately 90 minutes to install the anchor foundation for your Mega Slam Hoop. The concrete needs to cure for 72 hours prior to system assembly.
For phase two of the assembly, it takes about 90 minutes to assemble and raise a Mega Slam Hoop.

For free-standing, in-ground systems, one (1) to two (2) adults are good for installing the concrete anchor that holds your system.

How far back should I set my basketball goal from the driveway?
It is typical to set the anchor concrete flush with the driveway, or up to 2 feet back from the driveway edge, depending on how much space is available in your playing area. Our in-ground systems have various overhang lengths ranging from 3-feet to 4-feet. “Overhang” is the distance from the front of the main pole to the front of the backboard.
