IMPORTANT
Goalsetter Systems, Inc. cannot assume liability for the installation of any
Wall Mounted structure. Goalsetter® Systems recommends consulting
a professional architect or contractor to determine a safe wall anchoring
system to match the wall construction being used in your application.
Determine Installation Location
Consider the following to determine where to install your
Goalsetter Basketball Goal:
• The type and strength of structure to which the goal will
be attached.
• When extended, will backboard overhang obstruct driveway or
other important space? Maximum overhang: 59 ¾” (1.51 m)
from the mounting surface to the front of the rim.
• Is there room so vehicles backing out of driveway do not strike
backboard or rim?
• Will court markings be used?
• How much playing surface is needed?
H
Playing Surface
• How much playing surface will be under the backboard?
(Having the edge of the playing surface directly underneath the
backboard can result in trip hazards and unpredictable ball action
following a shot. Try to have as much playing surface as possible
behind the backboard.)
• Other functions of playing surface (driveway, playground, etc.)
• Will the goal be at least 20 ft. (7 m) from any overhead power
lines? (No overhead power lines should be within a 20 ft. (7 m)
radius of the goal.)

and/or installer.
• Walls can contain electrical wires and other unseen hazards
and obstacles. It is the installer’s responsibility to locate and
avoid these hazards during installation. To avoid severe injury
or death, do not locate goal under power lines.
