Setup and Installation
How long does it take to set up an IGL basketball hoop?

Maintenance and Safety
Can I use my hoop in high winds?
It is not recommended to use the hoop during high winds as it may compromise stability and safety. Secure or store the hoop in strong wind conditions to prevent accidents or damage.
Are portable basketball hoops weather-resistant?
IGL hoops are designed to withstand outdoor weather. However, to prolong their lifespan, we recommend covering or storing them during extreme weather conditions.
What are the maintenance requirements for my hoop?
Regularly inspect the hoop for signs of wear or damage, clean the components, and follow any specific maintenance instructions in your manual to ensure long-lasting performance.
Base and Stability
What should I fill the base with?
The base must be filled with both sand and water as instructed in the manual. Using only one may result in insufficient weight, causing the hoop to tilt or fall. Failure to follow these instructions could lead to serious injury or property damage.
Can I only fill the base with water and put weights on top?
No, you must fill the base with both sand and water for optimal stability. Adding external weights is not a substitute for proper base filling.
What should I do if the base is leaking?
If the base is damaged during shipping and leaks when filled with water, please contact our customer service team before use. We will arrange a replacement base.
Parts and Replacements
What if components, parts, or bolts are missing?
Before installation, check all components, parts, and bolts. If you find anything missing, contact our customer service team, and we will arrange for replacement parts.
What should I do if I suspect I received a defective part?
Contact our customer service team immediately with details and photos of the defective part. We’ll assist in resolving the issue and provide replacements as needed.
Moving the Hoop
How do I move my portable basketball hoop to a new location?
Moving a basketball hoop requires at least two adults. Follow the instructions in the manual to safely move the hoop, using the built-in wheels to assist.
