THE CORE PRODUCTS

Our Range of Basketball and Netball Posts

Basketball and Netball posts take more punishment than almost anything else on the playground or multi-use games area (MUGA). With constant impact, all-weather exposure, and years of people leaning, hanging, and colliding with them, they need to be as solid as possible.

Ours are engineered for exactly that.

Every post is fabricated from steel at our in-house South Yorkshire facility, finished to withstand coastal and inland weather, and installed by our own team, so the company that designed it, is also the one standing behind it.

With single or multiple post requirements, we specify the right option for your site, your budget, and how hard it’s going to be used.

TWO SPORTS. ONE POST.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Frequently Asked Questions about basketball and netball posts

A regulation basketball hoop is 3.05m (10ft) from the ground to the top of the ring. Our Freestanding Basketball Post is set at this height as standard, ready for school PE, club training and community play.

A senior netball ring sits at 3.05m (10ft), the same height as a basketball hoop. Younger players often use lower rings. That’s why we’re launching a Freestanding Adjustable Netball Post, which adjusts from junior heights up to full regulation height.

A netball ring has a 380mm internal diameter and no backboard. A basketball hoop is wider, at around 450mm, and mounts on a backboard. Both are set at 3.05m for senior play, and our Rotating Basketball & Netball Post gives you both on one post.

Ours are built for unsupervised public spaces. The posts are heavy-duty steel, with stainless steel security fixings behind vandal-resistant covers and 12mm impact-resistant compact laminate backboards. On our basketball post, a three-ring hoop with chains replaces the net.

With hot dip galvanising and powder coating, our posts are built to last for decades outdoors. Every post is galvanised to EN ISO 1461 and powder coated to BS EN 13438:2013 to protect against rust and weather. Each carries a 25-year guarantee.

Yes. Our Rotating Basketball & Netball Post fully complies with BS EN 1176 and is regularly inspected to it. All our posts are galvanised to EN ISO 1461 and powder coated to BS EN 13438:2013.
