Step 1
Choose the location of your basketball hoop. The front or back of the garage will work as long as you have a level playing surface in front of your hoop.
Step 2
Examine the location on the garage to check for loose siding or anything else that may present a problem when mounting your hoop.
Step 3
Measure out the height of the hoop. The regulation height -- measured from the court surface to the top of the rim -- is 10 feet.
Step 4
Use a ladder to get the mounting bracket to the desired location. Attach the bracket to the garage per the hoop kit instructions.
Step 5
Attach the backboard and rim to the mounting bracket, following the kit instructions.
Step 6
Use a level to ensure the backboard is flush and the hoop is horizontal. Re-measure the hoop height to ensure it's at 10 feet. Adjust as necessary.
Step 7
Attach the net to the rim.
