Questions re basketball backboard in driveway?
We are considering setting up a basketball backboard for kids to use in the driveway, and have some questions:
1) Any way to keep the ball from bouncing in flowers, neighbor's yard, etc.? (A net, screen, etc.)
2) Any basketball system brands that have had problems — which we would like to avoid!
3) About how much space do we need? (for the court)
4) Any other products that make it practical to play in a smaller space.
I'd appreciate any good advice people can send this way!

What is better for a basketball backboard acrylic or tempered glass?
we are trying to find a new basketball system but we dont know what type of backboard to get acrylic or tempered glass
First off, you most likely already looking at polycarbonate versus acrylic. some people use these interchangably. they are different chemically. the problem with plastics is that they get brittle over time. even the polycarb with UV absorbers in it is going to weather. It is going to get old, it is going to break and crack.
the glass is far stronger than the plastic. as long as you don't chip the corner, it will never break (with a basketball). This is the way to go.
