Easy to operate height adjustment which can be locked for safety. The MegaSlam 72 lowers from regulation 10-feet all the way down to 5-feet, enabling pros of all sizes to dunk all day long. Height adjustment is limited on a standard install, via a safety lock to prevent the hoop being lowered below 7-feet.

MegaSlam 72 FAQ
Yes — the Mega Slam 72 features a 72-inch (183 cm) backboard, the same size used in professional and FIBA & NBA games. It's perfect for serious players looking to train at home with authentic court dimensions.
The Mega Slam 72 is built to withstand all climates. It features galvanised steel, powder-coated finish, and weather-resistant netting to prevent rust, fading, or damage — rain, snow, or sun.
The Mega Slam 72 adjusts from 3.04 m (regulation height) down to 1.5 m, making it suitable for players of all ages — from kids learning to shoot to competitive teens and adults refining their technique. The mechanism incorporates a safety pin which when engaged, will prevent the hoop from lowering beyond 2.28m.
Yes — it’s backed by a lifetime warranty, including the No-Break Backboard Protection Plan. Mega Slam stands behind the quality and strength of every component.
Mega Slam Hoops Limited Lifetime Warranty
Yes — the hoop can be installed indoors if the concrete anchor can be secured properly. Several gym owners, including Paul Gudde in Germany, have installed Mega Slam 72s indoors with help from structural engineers.
We recommend a minimum court space of 5.5m x 8m for optimal play. The hoop has an adjustable overhang (up to 1.2 m), so full free-throw and three-point lines can be accommodated in standard-size driveways or backyards.
Absolutely. The system includes a 180° Pro Rim® with Directional Flex® technology, designed to absorb slam dunks from any angle — just like pro-level indoor gyms. It’s completely dunk-proof and backed by a lifetime warranty.
While many customers choose to DIY with help from friends, due to the system's weight (backboard weighs over 150 kg), we recommend having friends to help or a professional installer for safety, accuracy, and peace of mind.

The system integrates seamlessly with:
Game Light – for nighttime play
Court Audio Bracket – for music + sound
Net Protect – to keep balls in play

MegaSlam 72 Installation
Check out the main steps required to install a Mega Slam 72 Hoop. Make sure you’re aware of every step involved when installing your system. Correct installation ensures a lifetime of fun. Download detailed installation instructions for the MegaSlam 72.
1. Plan & Prep
Pick the perfect spot for your hoop to live. The Mega Slam 72 has an overhang of 48″. Note: Hitting a below-ground utility service by accident is no fun. Be sure to check the ground for service routes before and during digging.
2. Dig & Pour
Dig a 1.25m deep hole and fill it with concrete to build the foundation for your in-ground hoop. It will take a lot of concrete, so be ready. Check your detailed instructions before you start digging.
3. Level Your Anchor
After 72 hours of drying concrete, it’s time to make sure to level the system. You want a level the system because it will play true. Watch our video on how to level the anchor.
4. Install Your System
If you’re planning on installing a Mega Slam Hoop yourself, you’d better call some back-up. The systems are heavy, like really very heavy and require at least 3 strong people to lift a large glass backboard. Each model is a little different, so reference your manual.
