How To Install Basketball Hoop On Brick Wall
Most basketball backboards can be attached to a wall with a wall mount, or the backboard may come with a mount installed. Mounting systems vary considerably.
I want to hang a basketball goal above the garage, and our house is brick.Here are three options I've considered:1)Hang two 3 ft. Long 1x4's on the inside of the garage securing them into studs using screws, and then running the bolts from the outside through the brick and the 1x4's.2) Cut out the sheetrock to expose the studs. Run the bolts (3/8') through the brick & studs. Repair sheetrock.3) Hang two appx.
Long 2x4's on the exterior of the garage and run the bolts through the 2x4's into the bricks. I could use a combination of wall anchors and long screws that screw into the studs.Which do you recommend? Why?The total weight of the goal and mount is just at 100 lbs.TIA.

Run the bolts (3/8') through the brick & studs. Repair sheetrock.Not really sure what the advantage is here.3) Hang two appx. Long 2x4's on the exterior of the garage and run the bolts through the 2x4's into the bricks. I could use a combination of wall anchors and long screws that screw into the studs.This is the best option because it ties the studs together, and is easier to attach the goal to the 2x4s. Make sure you pre-drill the brick when using anchors or screws.Which do you recommend? Why?The total weight of the goal and mount is just at 100 lbs.TIA.
