After scouring the internet for hours looking for something like the basketball backboard that was on your garage roof when you were a kid, you have come up empty handed. The options left out there are far and few in-between. Mostly you'll find in-ground systems which in some cases will not fit into your driveway making a garage roof-mounted basketball goal the best option. The roof-mount systems you'll see available today have some advantages over your dad's wooden concoction. I have outlined the advantages of new garage roof mount basketball hoops below with things to watch out for.
- Universal Brackets - Put away your saw and take back all of those screws you bought at the home improvement store. Most likely, there is a universal bracket that will work on your roof. Brackets today can be fitted to just about any pitch and height. There are a few things to watch out for. First make sure the bracket is infinitely adjustable and does not have to go into preset drilled holes. Inevitably, you'll need to set it right in-between two of these. Also, check how it will be mounted to your roof. Some systems can be mounted from the roof-top using screws. Others require that you crawl into the attic. If you don't have access to your attic, this could be a problem. Lastly, some garage-mount hoops can't be installed on metal or tile roofs. Make sure you have a regular composite shingle for these basketball systems.
- Steel Construction - Also, don't forget to take all of those 2 x 4's back to the hardware store too. Today's roof-mount basketball hoop brackets are made of steel which have better rigidity and last longer that your dad's wooden bracket. Make sure the bracket you're looking at has a good powder-coat finish and uses stainless steel fasteners. This helps fight corrosion and ensures you will not be back up there on the ladder replacing the basketball hoop in a few years.
- Clear Professional Looking Backboard - Because of the heavy-duty steel brackets, many manufactures pair up a nice acrylic backboard with it. These backboards look great and perform quite well. When checking out the backboard, make sure it has a rigid backboard frame and is 1/2" thick. This will ensure you get a good ball response off of the backboard.
