Basketball Hoop Bracket

admin

So I needed to fix the basketball hoop in the back of my rental house. Decided to come up with a bracket. Designed in in CATIA (overkill, I know), then made it in one night. It's up and functioning quite well now, if I do say so myself.Let me know what you think. ~Justin Manufacturing EngineerWWU Vehicle Research Institute c/o 2010

Reply:Dont think that one would be good for slamin' or hangin'.Dont like the method of attaching to pole either, if someone is going to do the above.Strict codes for them here now since a few kids in recent years have been killed or injured by falling hoops/backboards and structure.Sorry to bring negativity to your thead.

Reply:The rope holds the backboard up (with the assistance of the original springs), and goes through some pulleys, passing through a rope clutch just out of frame.The chain, pulls on the rope clutch's handle, releasing the rope, so you can lower its height.
