How to Properly Secure a Basketball Goal Bracket to the Roof
- 1). Place the basketball hoop brackets 2 1/2 inches apart on the outermost truss of the roof. The roof's truss will provide the necessary support for mounting the basketball hoop bracket.
- 2). Mark the brackets' mounting holes with a pencil or permanent marker. Remove the brackets from the roof.
- 3). Drill out the four mounting holes using a power drill with a 3/8-inch bit.
- 4). Align the brackets with the mounting holes.
- 5). Install four hex screws in the holes, using the power drill and a hex-head screwdriver bit, securing the brackets to the roof truss.
