Lovely video my friend, good luck with getting the kids active

Thank you @dyingfly

Does it really matter if you drill a bit deeper than the bolts? Since when you tighten the nuts up they retract anyway rather than push into

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Thanks for watching Jeremy- yes I agree -it probably does not matter too much if the hole is slightly deeper- this only helps to drill it to the exact depth for precision, as it makes it easier to place the bolt in the hole before tightening the nuts (or the bolt may disappear inside the hole if the nut is not properly engaged :-) )

[@jl6462]

if the expand nails is 10mm , how big should the drill core to be

[@serenity3945]

What do I do if it curves down and one of the bolts fall out

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Hi generally if the bolt is loose inside the hole even when you have tightened the nut, I would suggest making the hole the next larger size and using the next size bolt. Another way could be to plug the hole with a good cement mix and redrill once the cement has completely dried ( cured/set). I hope it helps. All the best

[@melting_mochii]

Can you explain how to tighten the screw? Bcs when i tried to use a spanner wrench, the screw just doesn't stay in place. It follows where im rotating it.

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

The hole size probably is slightly larger than the bolt diameter and hence it is rotating. The bolt should be snug fit before you start tightening so that it grips properly. I hope it helps. All the best.

Let me know how long before that window is broken 🤣. Thanks for the info.

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

That window is quite high..the ball does not reach there.... keeping fingers crossed 🤞😀

[@jjbing3]

@@diyprojects-rd6431 Haha. I’m sure I could lay it up into the window 😞

[@louismccann8936]

The bolts seem a very important component! I only bought the rim... haha

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

The bolts in my case came with the rim. I've seen these bolts being sold in B&Q

[@MatthewE09]

If I would add a backboard directly on the wall, would the bounce be the same or different?

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Hi - sorry I have not used a backboard so am unable to advise on this. You will probably need a tough backboard to ensure a firm grip - this would mean a similar bounce as a wall I think.

[@MatthewE09]

@diyprojects-rd6431 OK, thank you for responding

[@eneserbay2887]

what is the things u filled the holes with called? I need to put the ring to the wall directly too. Thanks

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Hi Ene's thanks for watching. The bolts are described in the beginning of the video.

[@stefanbaetens3639]

Should the top or bottom of the ring be on 3m05 or..?

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Not sure I understand the question - I have drilled the holes on the bricks and tried not to drill them on the cement ridges between the bricks.

[@rohansoy2607]

Is it necessary to have a backboard or is it ok to mount it on wall ? Can you please review this hoop while shooting some balls

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Hi I have not used any backboards for the installation. The hoop is hanging fine from the wall. When drilling the wall please ensure that the hole size is such that the bolt is snug fit before the nut is tightened.

[@User43028]

should i put plastic inside the wall so it tight the bolts ?

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

I did not use any plastic in the hole. The hole size should be exactly the the same as the shank diameter. This ensures that when you tighten it, the grip will be very strong. All the best!

[@Cheekycheifer]

If i hang on the rim will it break

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Never tried that so can't comment. I probably would not try that as the rim is not too thick.

[@whitevenom914]

Good

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Thanks

[@kishanbasnett5887]

What is the size of the bolt sir?

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Hi Kishan I don't remember it now. As an approximation the diameter is same as the hole on the bracket and the length I think was around 1 -1.5 inch. I hope that helps.

[@SuyogT2k]

Does the rim fall off while playing?

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

No it is secured to the wall.

[@n3rc0x24]

Is it still tight ? Mine loses😢every time i hoop

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Try a slightly larger size bolt. The hole probably is slightly loose. Mine is fine still.... fingers crossed 😊

[@tanzvr4358]

Can I put it indoor

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Hi the video shows installation on a brick wall. So should be applicable for any brick wall 🧱

[@tanzvr4358]

Oh ok

[@tanzvr4358]

Can I hang on it

[@c1oaraa]

will the rim break if i dunk?

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Hi - do you mean if you hang from the ring? Well we have not tried that so not sure. Other than that the ball has bounced on the ring many times and it is holding fine all the best.

[@n0tlydia574]

Does it make a banging sound inside the house ?

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Not sure what you mean - while playing of course there is a sound when the ball drops on the ground?

[@n0tlydia574]

I've got mine up outside and you can hear it banging through the walls amd it's annoying my neighbours as the sound is coming through there wall (however the person that put it up used normal screws ? Ty for getting bk to me

[@cartoonistron9491]

The hoop I bought came with small screws and rawlplugs, and the hoop fell off the wall soon after my grandson starting hitting it with the ball. Could you tell me what the size of those bolts is please? I looked in B&Q but couldn't see them. Many thanks.

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Hi I do not now remember the exact length of the bolts..as a guess it was around 1 to 1.5 inches long.

[@cartoonistron9491]

@@diyprojects-rd6431 Many thanks. I found the same bolts you used and the hoop is now up on the wall.

Bro how can we buy the screw what is name of screw what we say it

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Easy fix shield anchor bolts or concrete bolts or brick wall bolts

[@Not.Me39]

Bro can you use a hammer instead of drill

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

Hi - hammer will weaken and probably crack the bricks - so I would not recommend that.

[@melii3923]

can you send the link of the product?

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

This was from eBay way back in July 21. That sale has ended but if you do a search for basketball hoop in eBay, you can find the product being sold. Remember to buy the one with the bolts.

[@melii3923]

@@diyprojects-rd6431 hey mate what if i dont got a drill ?

[@diyprojects-rd6431]

The hoop/ ring needs to be well secured to the wall so in my view it is best to secure it with bolts,as shown. A drill gun is available probably for 20ish and a drill bit for a 2-5 £.
