1. Stability
1-Piece 10 Foot Pole
Anchor-Mount
Flex Rim
Goalrilla is well known for the stability of their basketball goal systems. All goals are bolted securely to a concrete and steel anchor dug deeply into the ground. This is the same system used for installing your local town’s street lights! Each pole is manufactured as one whole piece to minimize flex points when weight is added to the system. In addition to this, each goal comes with either a medium-flex or heavy-flex rim to reduce stress on the play system.
2. Crank Adjust (7.5-10.0 feet)
Regardless of which Goalrilla goal you choose, each of them comes with a crank-adjust actuator to be able to lower your goal as low as 7.5 feet and raise it as high as 10 feet. This feature definitely will increase the age range of people using your system. Goalrillas are suitable for young kids, teenagers, and adults. These heights meet ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards for basketball systems.

3. Durability
Goalrilla basketball systems are suitable for indoor basketball courts and outdoor alike. The Dupont powder-coated frame helps to protect all steel parts from the elements. All hardware is corrosion resistant as well. The thick steel frame is extremely durable to say the least, in fact we believe it is the most durable in the residential basketball goal industry. In addition, the tempered glass backboard will hold its professional appearance for years.
4. Safety
25. to 4.0 Feet Overhang
Backboard Pads and Pole Pads
All Goalrilla goals come with the option of safety features to ensure safe game play. There are a variety of pole pads available, ranging from standard to deluxe. Some of these may also be customized to your favorite university! Base pads are also available to protect the player from the anchor system bolts near the pole base.
Depending on the system you choose, the backboard may hang 2.5 to 4 feet away from the pole, providing a safe space away from the pole. Goalrilla products meet ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards for basketball systems.
All hoops can lower to no further than 7 ½ feet. This safeguard is put in place for a very important reason. Believe it or not, one of the most common injuries on residential basketball systems is a child accidentally getting their teeth or braces snagged on a net during a dunk. The risk of this is much greater when the goal is at a height below 7 ½ feet. Many manufacturer-direct competitors do not heed these standardized guidelines. Owners can lower these goals as low as 5 feet in some instances, creating a dangerous playing area.
