Installation Information
The BASK-CH is designed for permanent deck-anchor installation around an in-ground swimming pool while allowing the basketball structure itself to be removed when desired.
The system uses a 12-inch setback from the pool edge to the center of the anchor location. Correct anchor placement is critical for proper installation and basketball positioning.
Professional installation is recommended when installing new deck anchors, particularly in existing concrete pool decks.
Existing Anchor Compatibility
The Challenge is designed to work with compatible existing S.R. Smith Swim-N-Dunk basketball anchors, making it a useful replacement or upgrade for certain older S.R. Smith basketball systems.
Existing anchor spacing and setback should always be measured before ordering a replacement game.
