How big of a hole do I need to install an in-ground basketball net/pole?

The diameter of a standard size basketball pole is about 6", so 7' with about 3.5' down and using concrete would work.

To bank a shot. . . use the diamonds to give you direction.  This can be a 90 degree angle, or a 45 degree angle.  Simply, take your pool stick place it over the white ball, the ball you want to hit, and pick a diamond on the table for a destination. Next, you'll observe what angles are formed from this choice.  You then make a choice if the angles formed can put the little ball in a hole.\n\nHave fun, hope you sink lots of 'em.

Long enough to reach the end of a hole

No there is not a standard or rule about the height.  A have seem courses with a hole the requires a 12 to 15 foot pole.  The reason is the hole is so steep going up to the green, it requires a longer pols so you can see the flag.  The course I'm thinking about is on a Air Force base in San Antonio TX.

The net is 3 1/2 feet on the sides and is 3 feet in the middle

When I play pick-up games with my friends, I like to work the post too.  I just usually do double-pumps, spins, and just kick it out when I can't get anything going.  Just try sweeping hooks and they should help.  A fadeaway turnaround is good when you don't want to get blocked.  It's a good move to have but I would say work on your hook shot because that thing comes in handy.  How tall are you and what level do you play (h.s., college, street, etc.)?

Get a smaller rim, something thats only 3" wider than the actual ball diameter, that way u get used to it and when u play in the usual basketball rim, swish is all youll ever hear.. It worked for me.. Just too short for NBA though,just played on the streets..

The best thing would be a copper wire attached to a metal bar into the earth. Other choice would be the gorund wire in an electrical outlet (careful not to hit live wires) or to a rubber mat on a concrete floor

Our outdoor nets measure 32 feet long by 39 inches tall. The proper height for a men's net is 7' 11-5/8" (8 Feet) tall and for women it's 7' 4-1/8" (7 Feet 4 Inches) tall. Aircraft cables with fixed eye loops on both sides should be used on all permanent standing courts. This allows you to padlock your net to your poles and the aircraft cable provides added security since steel cable is much more difficult to cut down than a standard rope cable.\nI hope I covered your question\n:)

My grandfather had one of these.\n\nWARNING: THIS DEVICE WILL PRODUCE A LETHAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD, KEEP AWAY AT ALL TIMES. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR DEATH, INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE DUE TO MISUSE.\n\nThis is SOOOOO simple. You will need a steel rod sharp at one end and a plastic handle w/attached single insulated wire at the other. You will have to fabricate this. Wire must be 25 feet long and of 12 or 10 AWG. The rod will be 1.5 feet long.\n\nUsing a polarized plug, connect the single insulated wire to the smaller (HOT) of the plug prongs.\n\nDirections for use:\n\nAn area of about 10 feet from rod WILL PRODUCE A LETHAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD, KEEP AWAY AT ALL TIMES. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. UNPLUG THE DEVICE BEFORE APPROACHING IT.\n\nThe ground must be somewhat moist (not wet), best results are in the shade or cloudy day.\n\nFirmly push the rod into the ground at least 20 ft away from any building.\n\nPlug in the polarized plug into a socket for no more than 5-10 minutes at a time (this depends on ground moisture).\n\nAn area of about 10 feet from rod will produce worms in the time specified, if not, try a different location.\n\nClean and oil rod after every use to prevent rust. AVOID GETTING OIL ON THE HANDLE AS OIL IS CONDUCTIVE.

I use a fiberglass stick about 3 ft long and a net that is 2 ft round on a 3ft stick. Use the fiberglass stick to tease the lobster out of the hole by gently touching its feelers or by touching the hind quaters. They swim backwards so when they come out of the hole place the net behind them and tap them with the stick to scare them in the net. They must be legal size, You must have a crawfish license (sold at most bait shops) and you cannot detail them before you get to shore.

First you need to measure the diameter of the trampoline, or if its rectangular.  Then find yourself a contractor to dig a hole for you.  Oversize it aliitle bit.  Pour concrete pads or columns for the legs.  Set the legs on or in the columns.  As this is being done you also need to figure out the distance the trampoline will stretch in the downward position to give yourself the distance in the ground, so it will not touch the bottom where the hole is dugout for the trampoline.  I would definately secure it enough around the edges as well with other columns or pads that may be used as your secure points.  You can find clamps that will secure the rail of the tramp. and also afix to the pads or columns.  You will need to secure it in all areas where the tramp. will not tip or flip over on you.

Try to make it at 3 feet.  It will probably be easier.  I'd probably use balsa wood.

Use 12" of sand. Hold it in the area by building a box with 1x12 pressure treated wood. Sink that about 8 - 10" under the ground level so the kids don't have to step up over it so far. I'd put a bumper guard on the top of the 1x12s also so that no one gets hurt by the top of the board either. Don't just go buy any old sand, make sure that you specify what you will be using it for so that you get some clean stuff. \nAll the equipment should be mounted in the dirt UNDER the sand and reinforced with concrete where/when needed. Swingsets and climbing equipment should be secured in this fashion without question.\nHope that helps

A cable drill bit and a snake should be enough.\n\nGood Luck

if its somewhat large, or near something very important, i would recommend going to a local geotechnical/ civil engineer.  \n\na few hundred bucks may be worth it not falling over, and then you are out the wall and the money.  better safe than sorry.\n\nan engineer will review site and soil conditions to give you a quality end product, and a guarantee
