The hoop height reaches a maximum of 216 cm from the ground.
Can I use the stand without filling the base?

Yes, this set comes with an 8-inch basketball and a pump.
Is this set suitable for indoor use?
While it can be used indoors if space permits, it is primarily designed for outdoor residential environments.
How do I adjust the height?

Troubleshooting
The basketball system feels unstable or tips during play
Ensure the base is filled completely with sand or water. Sand is heavier and provides better stability than water.
The rim feels loose after repeated use
Periodically inspect the mounting bolts connecting the rim to the backboard and tighten them securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly of the unit requires basic tools to secure the pole sections to the base and backboard. Ensure all bolts are tightened before use to prevent wobbling. For maintenance, check the hardware periodically to ensure it has not loosened over time. To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe down the backboard and pole. Avoid leaving the ball exposed to extreme weather for long periods to maintain its grip and inflation status.
