Are you moving houses and you don’t want to leave your basketball hoop behind? Don’t worry! Even if the task of relocating your basketball hoop may seem impossible, it is far easier than you think. To help you out, the professional movers and packers at All My Sons Jacksonville have a guide for relocating your basketball equipment and using packing services from a local moving company.
1. Check the Anchoring

The first step to moving your basketball equipment is checking how your hoop is anchored. While some hoops are held to the ground with just a few rocks, others are cemented deep into the ground. In case your hoop is cemented, take a shovel and dig around the anchoring. If after about an hour of digging hasn’t made the hoop budge even a little, this means that you’ll certainly have to hire a track loader to help you dig down very deep. Once the anchoring is dug up, make sure to carefully remove the pole of your hoop without breaking it. All My Sons warns that this process should be handled by professionals. If you do not know how to dig up a cemented basketball hoop, our professional movers and packers in Jacksonville can handle it for you.

2. Disassemble your Hoop

Make sure that if you hire packing services in Jacksonville for your move, they disassemble your basketball hoop. If you don’t mind doing it yourself, simply grab a wrench and start breaking your hoop down piece by piece. Start by removing the backboard and the rim. After that, make sure that you properly disassemble the adjustment mechanism and the extension arm of the pole. Finally, remove the base of your hoop.

3. Relocate

Once this is done, you are ready to move your basketball hoop to your new home. Jacksonville movers and packers can load it up on a moving truck with all your other basketball equipment and move it with ease. Make sure to assemble the hoop in a backward fashion and you’ll be ready to shoot some hoops at your new home.
