Highlights

The rim outlasts everything else

Backboards crack, nets rot and poles rust. A steel ring properly bolted to something solid simply keeps going, which is why replacing the rim alone is usually the cheapest way to bring an old court back into use.

Steel construction

Heavy-duty enough to take the abuse a rim gets, including people hanging off it.

Net included

A 10-loop net, which is what a standard rim takes.

Takes a size 7 ball

The full adult ball passes through as it should.

Mounts to a backboard, wall or pole

The usual fixing pattern for replacing a rim on an existing setup.

Product description

About this product

Basketball Ring with Net – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.

This is a steel basketball ring supplied with a net – the part you replace when a court has a serviceable backboard and a dead rim.

A rim is the most abused component on any basketball court. It takes the impact of every missed shot, it gets hung on, and outdoors it rusts at the welds. Backboards and poles usually outlive several rims, which is why replacing the ring on its own is the sensible repair rather than buying a whole new system.

Net loops matter more than people expect. A standard basketball rim has twelve net loops; some recreational rims have ten. This one comes with a 10-loop net that matches it. If you are replacing a net rather than a rim, count the loops on your rim first – a 12-loop net will not fit a 10-loop rim properly and will hang crooked.

On dimensions, be careful. Our supplier describes this ring as 21 inches, and a regulation FIBA rim is 450 to 459 mm inside diameter, which is about 18 inches. A 21-inch figure is therefore either an outer measurement across the mounting flange, or a non-regulation recreational rim. If you need a regulation rim – for a school court, a club or anything competitive – ask us to measure the inside diameter of the stock before you order. We would rather check than have you fit the wrong thing.

Mount it to something genuinely solid. A rim takes far more force than it looks, particularly if anyone dunks on it, and a rim bolted to a thin board or a soft wall will pull out – usually taking a chunk of wall with it.

Questions

Good to know

What is the regulation rim height and diameter?

The rim is 3,050 mm - ten feet - from the floor to the top edge, and the inside diameter is between 450 and 459 mm, which is the familiar 18 inches. Those are FIBA-s figures and they are the same worldwide.

Why does the supplier say 21 inches when regulation is 18?

Almost certainly because 21 inches is the measurement across the outside of the ring or the mounting flange rather than the playing aperture, or because it is a recreational rather than a regulation rim. Ask us and we will measure the inside diameter of the stock.

How high should I mount it?

3,050 mm - exactly ten feet - from the ground to the top edge of the rim, for adult and high-school play. For younger children, lower it: 8 ft for under-10s and 9 ft for under-12s is the usual progression, and a hoop set too high teaches a bad shot.

What should I bolt it to?

Something genuinely solid. A rim takes far more force than its size suggests, especially if anyone hangs on it. A thin backboard or a soft block wall will fail and take material with it. Use a proper backboard, a steel post, or a reinforced fixing.

How many loops does my net need?

Count them on the rim. Standard rims have twelve loops; some recreational rims have ten. This ring comes with a 10-loop net to match it. A mismatched net hangs crooked and wears through quickly.

How long will a net last outdoors here?

Months rather than years if it is nylon and left up. Sun destroys nets faster than play does. A chain net costs more and lasts for years outdoors, which is why most public courts use them.

Does it come with a backboard?

No, the ring and net only. A complete hoop with backboard and stand is listed separately on this site.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and ship nationwide to Arusha, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond. You can also collect from our shop.
