About us
A buying guide for families putting a hoop in the driveway, once and for all.
An in-ground hoop is one of those purchases you make once. It goes into a hole full of concrete, it stays there for ten or twenty years, and every kid on the street ends up shooting on it. Get the size or the spot wrong and you live with it. We built In-Ground Basketball Hoops to help families get it right the first time.
What we do
We compare 14 in-ground basketball hoops from 7 brands (Goalrilla, Goaliath, Silverback, Goalsetter, Pro Dunk, Lifetime, Spalding) on the things that actually differ: the price on a given day, the backboard size and glass, the pole, the overhang, how low the rim goes for small kids, the mounting and the warranty. Each hoop gets one score from a published formula, and every review says plainly who should skip it.
Who writes it
The site is written by our editorial team. Chris Dalton (editor, backyard and driveway basketball) signs the reviews and guides. We read every product page, spec chart, installation guide and warranty we cite, note the date, and write down what each maker states, including the parts that are less flattering.
How we make money
Some links are affiliate links: if you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes our scores. See the disclosure.
