How to install a basketball net in 5 steps

5 steps to install a basketball net quickly

1. Approach the edge of the net

You'll notice that there's a wide end and a narrow end. The top of the net, which you will connect to the ring, is the wider end. Grip this top part with both hands and move towards the edge.

2. Bring your head up to the edge

This usually requires a ladder, unless you're 3 meters tall. This is important because securing the net to the edge can sometimes require delicate and tight maneuvering. You need to be able to see exactly what you're doing from a stable base.

3. Grab one end of the loop on the top section of the net and thread it through one of the links.

You'll notice that the links have a small gap at the top that allows you to thread the net through. Often, you'll have to force a little, as the gap is deliberately small to ensure that the net is securely fastened.

4. Once the loop has passed through the link, push it down into the smaller sections on the side of the link.

Again, this may take a little effort. Once you've pushed the net loop down, pull the net towards you. This will lock the net in place in that particular link.

5. Repeat this process for each link.

Make sure you put the loops in the right links - if you skip a loop and lock the wrong loop in the wrong link, you'll end up with an empty link. Your net will be crooked, less attractive and more prone to damage.
