Important Notes
• Follow all warning signs and labels on equipment.
• Inspect all equipment before each use.
• Use the proper anchor depending on wall type. Consult ‘Anchor Management’
section in this manual for proper selection.
• Acoustic block or ‘sound block’ is the worst possible masonry type for wall
mounts. The block facing is textured, and there are slots every couple of inches.
The block must be filled solid at all attachment areas or failure is likely!
• Wall must be capable of supporting the entire load of the backstop and
accessories, as well as handling the shock effect of a large player slamming the
ball and/or hanging on the rim.
• Integrity of the wall must be verified by an architect or structural engineer. See
enclosed weight table for possible loading on the wall.
• Over the course of time anchors and bolts/nuts may loosen as a result of vibration
during equipment use. Periodic inspection and rework is strongly advised to
tighten hardware and return equipment to original level of safety.
• All wall anchor hardware should be a minimum of ½” diameter.
• Preventive maintenance should be performed annually on all our basketball
backstops to insure years of safe, trouble-free use. This work must be completed
by a qualified installer or technician. If one is not available to you, Jaypro’s own
field service team can be hired to do the work – call Jaypro for pricing and
scheduling. See Appendix C for standard equipment maintenance instructions.
*** Important! ***
Following all guidelines for installation is absolutely critical to insure a successful and safe installation
of wall mounted equipment. Be especially careful with regards to wall anchor selection and
preparation. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions for proper use of specific wall anchors. Jaypro does
not supply wall anchors with wall mounted equipment, but they can be purchased directly from
factory. Wall composition must be brick, concrete, or other form of solid or semi-solid masonry for the
backstops to be supported securely. If wall composition is studded with either wood or steel, or there
are obstructions or other such building features that make a standard installation inappropriate or
impossible, do not attempt installation without first contacting Jaypro directly for a custom engineered
solution. Jaypro will not assume liability for the installation of any wall mounted unit.
a. Socket set and/or box wrenches
b. Adjustable wrench or 19/32 open end box wrench (for closing quick links)
c. Backboard lifting equipment (500 lb capacity minimum):
a. Manual material lift or
b. Block and tackle or
c. Chain hoist or
d. Cable winch
Note: if any of the last three methods is used, two nylon web lifting straps (or similar
product) will be needed as well, plus shackles.
d. Electric drill with the following bits:
a. 3/4" wood
b. 9/16" carbide tipped or better (for drilling steel pipe)
e. Medium to heavy duty rotary hammer with the following masonry bits (depending on anchor
type – see Appendix A for selection):
a. 1/2"
b. 3/4"
c. 7/8”
f. Rubber hammer or mallet (for minor leveling adjustments and hardware assembly)
g. Bolt cutters (optional)
h. Hacksaw or reciprocating saw with hacksaw blades
i. 4’ Level
j. Measuring tape (at least 25’ long)
k. Assembly diagrams specific for type of backboard and Face of Bank (shipped with materials –
contact Jaypro if you are missing your set of assembly diagrams).
2. Preparation
a. Begin by laying out all parts. Identify everything listed on packing list and parts lists and make
sure everything is accounted for.
b. Familiarize yourself with the installation drawing packet supplied with the job. If you don’t
understand something on any of the drawings, now is the best time to contact Jaypro and get
the answers to your questions.
c. Obtain correct anchors for the wall type present. See table below for guidance. Important: It is
the responsibility of the installer to supply the correct anchor. Jaypro cannot be held liable
should the wall anchors fail.
d. Determine the exact location for your backstop. Avoid obstructions such as windows, exposed
columns, conduit, etc. on or in the wall in the area where the backstop is to be located. An area
8’ wide, from 9’6” to approximately 20’ from the floor is required for installations. The height
of each of the wood planks is determined by the backboard type, and the distance of the
backboard from the wall (specific minimum height given in the table below).
e. Remove any sheetrock or other wall covering from area immediately behind the wood planks.

f. The wall surface that the backstop structure is attached to must be capable of supporting the
backstop and the forces applied when it is in play. Concrete block, brick, or solid concrete
walls are ideal. If your walls are any other material please contact Jaypro Sports for suggested
attachment methods (also see ‘Anchor Management’ section later in this manual).
g. Determine location of top wood member so that support chains are optimally kept at 45°. The
diagram below shows attachment heights for all wall structure.
