Kids'/Adult Basketball Basket 8'6" to 10'. Plexi type backboard. B100 Pro

Why choose the Tarmak B100 Pro basketball basket?

The Tarmak B100 Pro basketball basket is ideal for training thanks to the plexi backboard.

It offers 3 different play heights: 102.4" for children and up to 120", the official height. It means that the hoop evolves with the player's age or standard.

It's ideal for the entire family, stable (when weighted with 130 lbs of sand) and robust (metal post). It comes with a 2-year guarantee like all Tarmak backboards from Decathlon.

Why is the B100 weighted using sand?

Most basketball baskets are weightable using water or sand (see product details).



Sand is denser than water and so the same volume will be heavier: your basket will be more stable.



Water can also freeze in winter and break the plastic base if the temperature drops too low, or leak out through hidden cracks without you realizing.

Please note the sand is not provided.

The weighting bags can be removed to move the basket.

What height basket should you choose?

The official height of a basketball basket is 10 ft. (rim height).

If you want a basketball basket for your child, you need something that will grow with them.

For younger kids there isn't an official height so you can choose whatever suits them best.

Up to age 10, basketball hoops in clubs are set at 8'6".

After age 10, both girls and boys play with 10' hoops.

How should you care for your basketball basket?

We recommend cleaning your basketball basket with a damp sponge and some soap. Rinse in fresh water.

If your product has protective foam on the post, remember to store it inside in winter.

We recommend using a cover to protect the backboard from rain and frost.

What precautions should you take in strong winds or storms?

Our baskets comply with the European standards for stability.

Nevertheless, to avoid any accidents and to stop it blowing over in high winds, we strongly recommend lying your product down when not in use.

The bigger the board, the more it will catch the wind, particularly when it is in its higher positions.

Don't take any risks.

If you live in a very windy area, you can also add additional weight to your basket's base.

What ball should you use?

The ball size depends on the player's age and sex.

Baby basketball: size 1 to 3.

Girls and boys under 10: size 5.

Girls aged 10 and up, women, and boys aged 10 to 12: size 6.

Boys over 12 and men: size 7.

Can the Tarmak basketball hoops and boards be used on public courts?
