My little boys love basketball, but they’re outgrowing their Fisher Price basketball hoop. I want to get them something bigger, but we have no good outdoor space to bounce a ball. Our driveway’s at the top of a hill, so it’s no good–the ball’s going to roll into the street. We have no patio, and our deck won’t work because (1) there are glass windows and doors, and (2) they’ll have to run up and down the stairs every time the ball goes over.
I was thinking about pressure-treated plywood, but I don’t know that it’s strong enough to support them running around, especially since it will have to be laid over grass, and I hoping for something I can take apart or roll up or something, so it’s only down on the grass when they’re using it…
Anyone have an idea? My 4 year old will be 5 in June, and he’d really love it.
