i am looking for instructions to make a homemade basketball goal (the hoop and backboard). i have a deck i can hang in from and pavement beneath that. i would be using a regular size basketball.
Find some old plywood and cut it up for the backboard. Get some bolts and nuts and large washers and use that to attach the milk crate to the backboard.
You can use screws to directly attach the contraption to your deck.
i would look into buying a hoop (just the hoop) and then making/painting the backboard out of some discarded plywood or other scrap wood. look up regulation sizes online.
