One of the most fun additions to any swimming pool is the swimming pool basketball hoop. Some of these are hoops suspended in a frame that floats on the water, and others are very similar to regulation backboards that sit on the side of the pool. The ones that float are much less expensive than the ones that stay on the side of the pool.
Poolside swimming pool basketball hoops are made of polyethylene so that they stand up to the weather. The base can be filled with water or sand for stability. Poolside swimming pool basketball hoops can be used with in-ground pools, on-ground pools, and above-ground pools that are equipped with decks. They usually come with one to three basketballs. Poolmaster, Spalding, Swimline, First Team, and Huffy are just a few of the manufacturers of poolside basketball hoops. They generally cost $200 to $400. Some poolside basketball hoops come in sets with other games, such as pool volleyball.
In-pool swimming pool basketball hoops are smaller, and come with a smaller ball. They generally cost around $25 and are designed for children from 5 to 10 years of age. They allow you to play basketball in the pool. The hoop is suspended from a fabric-covered, inflatable frame. They fold up easily for portability and come with a storage bag.
Swimming pool basketball hoops are great additions to any residential swimming pool. Games involving inflatable balls and swimming pools go together well, whether it’s basketball, volleyball, monkey-in-the-middle, or just a beach ball to toss around. Poolside basketball hoops can be rather pricey, but they are one of the few activities guaranteed to tire out an entire group of teenagers, and the floating versions of the basketball games are great fun for younger kids. All in all, they are a great investment and will result in much more enjoyment of your swimming pool.
