How do I fix my wooden basketball backboard?
It’s a neighborhood goal, it appears someone was hanging on the rim and the bolts were stripped from the metal bracket thing at the top of the actual backboard (not the rim). Since it appears to be stripped i don’t think buying new bolts would fix it. Right now the whole backboard slants downward and is completely useless. http://www.goal-posts.net/media/bas… (example, top part of the backboard) Any easy fixes?
You may have to replace the backboard and/or the metal bracket frame. If the bracket is bent, you can check around the neighborhood and the newspaper to see if someone is selling an old one at a good price, or check with the local junkyards. Replacing the wooden backboard may help, but if the bracket is bent, replacing it seems like your best bet.
