With a sturdy steel post and a 20-litre ballast base, this basketball hoop is perfect for your children to enjoy in your garden or on your terrace.\nAs for a ball, we recommend playing with a size 3 ball. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the weight and dimensions of the K500?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions\n- Base (cm): 58 x 38 x 13\n- Post (cm): 3.2 (diameter)\n- Backboard (cm): 58 x 39 x 2.5\n- Rim diameter (cm): 30 (inside) \/ 32 (outside)\n- Packaging (cm): 60 x 40 x 15\n\nWeight\n- Without ballast (kg): 5\n- With ballast (kg): 25\n- Base volume (litres): 20\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat ball should you use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ball size depends on the player's age and sex.\nToddlers: sizes 1 to 3.\nGirls and boys under 10: size 5.\nGirls aged 10 and up, women, and boys aged 10 to 12: size 6.\nBoys over 12 and men: size 7.\n\nIf you want a very ball, go for a rubber ball. If you want a ball with a good feel, leather or synthetic are the right materials.\n\nFor the K500 we recommend the size 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat height basket should you choose?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe official height of a basketball basket is 3.05m (rim height).\nIf you want a basketball basket for your child, you need something that will grow with them.\nFor younger kids there isn't an official height so you can choose whatever suits them best.\nUp to the age of 10, club baskets are set at 2.60m.\nAfter the age of 10, both girls and boys play with 3.05m baskets\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat precautions should you take in strong winds or storms?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo prevent any accidents or breakage in the event of storms or strong winds, we highly recommend laying the basketball hoop down on the ground.\nThe bigger the board, the more it will catch the wind, particularly when it is in its higher positions.\nDon't take any risks.\nIf you live in a very windy area, you can also add additional ballast to your basket's base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eShould you weigh it down with water or sand?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost basket bases can be weighted with water or sand (see product instructions).\n\nSand is denser than water and so the same volume will be heavier: your basket will therefore be more stable (but harder to move).\nWater can also freeze in winter and break the plastic base if the temperature drops too low, or leak out through hidden cracks.We recommend weighing down your base with sand to be safer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow should you care for your basketball basket?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe recommend cleaning your basketball basket with a damp sponge and some soap. Rinse in fresh water.\nIf your product has protective foam on the post, remember to store it inside in winter.\nWe recommend using a cover to protect the backboard from rain and frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan the Tarmak basketball hoops and boards be used on public courts?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur baskets are designed for private use (family, friends).\nThey comply with French regulations (n°96-495 of 4 June 1996) and Portuguese regulations (decree 100-2003, amended by 82-2004).\nThey are not designed for the heavy use associated with public and club courts.\nClub equipment must be regularly tested on site and requires safety authorisations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDid you know that all Tarmak products are tested in the lab and in match conditions?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur basketball design team works in an immersive sports at our R\u0026amp;D sports centre located in the north of France.
